My dear housemate Esther has a beautiful and generous soul - she introduced me and shared with me these markers. Here is one of my experimentations.

Mountains. Cycling. Wind. Nature - are all those things I love. I want to be that girl in the picture - breezing through the valley in style on her bike:)

Transits

30 % of my time getting from point A to B. Lengthy distances. Stress. Anxiety. Crowds. Moved and in moving.

Wind blows

One of the girls I met in London blog and her weaving works combined with my life in Klaipeda inspired this. The wind, the sea...ships...and lines.

Joy of Reading

Books are like windows to the unexplored worlds, to the minds we can't simply access if we don't stop and listen. Reading is listening, and travelling together.

They will take you to places you have never been in joy and fascination.

A friend of mine has a whole blog dedicated just to books. Here it is: https://gribook.wordpress.com/

Life is a fasinating journey where we are lead to places we could have never thought about, encountering people we could not otherwise have ever had a chance to meet, being taught lessons we could have never imagined.
