The Revivial of Words and Shadows

Illustration by John P Weiss

Sooo, It's been a while. 

Greece is in the past now-even if people and places there hold a big space in my heart.

I was 28 when I stopped blogging here. Now I'm 38 :) How to summarize ten years in a blog post?

No. I won´t attempt that.

And for who would I do that? 

I decided to restart this blog for myself. Thereby I guess I will walk around the golden rule of "know thy audience". My goal is to know myself. Me. I am the audience. And as I write I hope I get steps closer to the goal.

But I have to ask myself;  why don´t I just write a secret journal and keep it by my bed side? 

Why write it out in cyber space?

I guess by putting it all out there I challenge my comfort zone and fill three purposes:

1) It takes courage to show the world who you really are-and I need to train my courage.

2) There is definatley a natural "informational-filter" aplied when there is a small chance someone will read what I write.

3) As a part of my newly re-awoken spiritual and personal development-I just feel in my whole existance I need to do this.

I hope It wo´t all be sad stuff. Depressing stuff. I´m a happy person in general-I hold a lot of love inside me. But also a lot of supressed sadness.

And weirdly I beleive the sadness in me is what had fueled my urge to explore and develop. I also strongly beleive that having this deep sadness resting within me has made me who I am: loving, sensitive to other people´s feelings. 

With that said, there is another dimension of the sadness - I call it my "shadows". and the shadows have slowly started to crawl up into my counscious mind- with the help of Body Work/ Manuvision, routine meditation, teaching and practicing yoga, having children, being a mom, etc .

All subjects worthy of covering here eventually I guess :D

I really couldnt´t be more excited right now-for my flies to hover in cyber space!
So that I don't have to swallow them..

Love Hanna
