You are a reflection of your surroundings


This thought came to me as i was zooming through the housework yesterday...

i have long identified with Zelig....

finding myself transformed by the people around me - sometimes subtely - i am more funny with some people, more thoughtful with some people, more critical with some people...

finding myself transformed by the physical environment around me - busy and baseless in the city - cerebral, tight...open and expansive and light and free by the sea...

i see my daughter also is in this mould - she feels withdrawn and left out in certain girls' company, light and fun in others'.

i wanted to come here and write about this as a reminder to myself that if i am truely open to transforming my life with creation i will open my life to people who see creativity as a valid and transformative force.

i will minimise the time spent with contracting forces - the circumstance and energy that makes me feel less than

and open myself to, gather in, soak up the expanding forces...

i choose BIG

  1. Your girl also transforms others around her. When I am around her I feel calm, thoughtful and at peace. (Pass it on ;-))

  2. I agree with you completely! I feel and behave one way while in the city and another (more authentic to me) in the country. And when in Scotland...even more authentic still. Because I am more at ease when surrounded by nature and beauty and like-minded souls.
