Are you locked-down or set free?

Well, what a question during lockdown COVIT19 time in 2020! Everyone seem to be worried, stressed, fearful, annoyed or feel confined in the space they have to stay, during the time of this pandemic. But in all this, we can ask ourselves "Am I locked-down or set free?". In our previous lives (before COVIT19), we often spent time to complain about the stress and things we needed to do. NOW, everything seems to stand still.

In the midst of the quietness and stand still mode, there is freedom! Freedom, to stand still, watch, listen and reflect. In this time, the body, soul and mind has space and time to enjoy the freedom to find a refreshed and new way of life.

Discovering treasures and surprises in nature can be a wonderful experience to this new freedom. Even though we are not allowed to go outside in the way we used to go and spend our time, we ARE aloud and encouraged to go for walks and spend time outdoors for our wellbeing. Not for partying group activities but to go, watch the nature that is around uns, not far away on sightseing tours but in our neighbourhood. We are aloud to see the little wonders around us.

The spring leaves and buds that are coming up, the sunrise and going down, the life that has end and leaving a rabbit scull behind, an owl pellet, a ladybug who shines in the spring sun or a special feather that has come many miles accross the sky and has set down in front of you. Each one these things motivates to ask hundrets of questions and wonder about the world we live in.
