Where to begin? This recent period has been – and still is – like a tornado that lifts all the cards in the air and drops them back to earth, reshuffled. Something similar has been happening to my thoughts; the usual and familiar way of thinking now requires a different kind of inner work.

Throughout this period, I have been keeping busy and focused, making sure to draw on the positive elements this period has brought us. Instead of looking outward and drowning in an ocean of negativity, I searched for the light, even if it was only small sparks, mostly hidden from view. It felt like I was gathering small delicate signs, like a gentle flicker you can miss if you blink, or an almost imperceptible breeze that you’re not exactly sure whether you felt, or just imagined.

And that is what I’m still doing. Collecting the colors, gathering sparks of light and insights. Expanding the heart, letting emotions – good emotions – do their work. I understand that the pace is different, human connection is changing, my inner needs seek to be released and find their way, to receive a ‘stamp’ that says “it is possible”, even in a time of chaos when we do what we need and must do, to also make space for what the soul wants.

During these obscure days, I have gone back – to my desk, to the store and the space that always fills me with positive, happy energy. It is the light that drew me into the creation process – small and gentle and so very needed light. I didn’t know where I was headed and had no words to describe what was to come. I just started and created according to what my soul dictated.

And so, I wrapped myself in diamonds, seating myself in front of their light, creating only by intuition. Now, as everything unfolds before me, I discover a wealth of light and small, delicate, peaceful connections.

Yes, inside this storm that is happening all around us, there is much quiet and stability to be found.
