DISTURBING AND INVITING ALL AT ONCE
DISTURBING AND INVITING ALL AT ONCE























We saw February leaving. It played with surfers for a while as we went collecting pebbles to keep some and lose some on our way home. It moved misty gray clouds as we stopped paying attention elsewhere wondering if it's polite to stare at the waves saying their good-byes. These waves were no joke, I filmed the intensity of their angry bodies for good amount of time with Nadia giggling away when they reached the point we were too slow to escape from being splashed at. If I tell you it's the first time I've seen it happening, don't let it distract you from scrolling down. Every day we're undoubtedly closer to nowhere to be but outdoors so something tells me our frenzied senses will no longer be happy kept locked in. And the weather? We love our coast all the better when we know its habits. And have you noticed? Days are getting longer, I started collecting sunglasses and taking my big lens with me more to enjoy the views with. Hello spring, I know you're there.

IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO RECOGNIZE SUNSHINE
IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO RECOGNIZE SUNSHINE

























The universe was murmuring to us with its highly pitched voice of an ecstatic blackbird or a wren ready for new day in the open stretch of English suburbs. We could remain antisocial, buried deeply in warm sheets but the waking of a day got us mildly embarrassed knowing the sidewalks were bustling with life. Absolutely content with the choice of scenery we walked to smile hello to the beach and tell her all about our weekend allowing Nadia to run wild and unfocused with me staring unblinkingly at the silver surface seen so many times before. A while ago someone close to me pointed the ridiculousness of feeling ecstatic each time my feet touch the sand, every time long paragraphs reveal the utmost pleasure we find at a simple playground even if I believe these are some of the happiest days of our lives I know I could never live without.

Three years back I was involved in a lot of activities with people with brain injuries and other types of mental disabilities. Whatever my role was, the experience has affected my perception on what we are grateful for and what is taken for granted. I sat shivering and watery-eyed next to the less fortunate ones with the dexterity of my mind required to pick up the pieces as they fall out in anticipation to regain their self-esteem and finding beauty in silent stares at products a human hand could come up with. That's why I've been considering volunteering again, one long breath at a time, one mend of a soul at a stunning view to get my reward in grins, inarticulate sounds in transit to an adequate comprehension. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, softer, teary-eyed on a mention how important it is to preserve the actual moment, make our pasts our allies, neighbours our friends, current views our future nests. I'm lucky to get excited with what's around us, remain wide-eyed on all occasions. If I have no more than a nice beach to offer to my child, my own being, fully mental capable person but of not working vertebrae, I'm asking politely: how is this life worth spending?

ART ATTACK NO MATTER YOUR STYLE
ART ATTACK NO MATTER YOUR STYLE







































































With extra hour on our hands thanks to daylight saving time painting supplies seem so relevant these days with crayons and pencils being in constant rotation. Although no lack in imagination is to be feared, the majority of materials our art supplies are used on have less and less to offer so our quest was set on more than paper, cardboard, tissues, sporadically walls (it's still happening with my four year old!). We needed something to stimulate our senses again so the nearby beach came with a helping hand gifting us with dozens of pebbles because you'll never get another quite like the previous one. Not before painting neither afterwards. As with most creative duties, technique is of no to low importance - sometimes sublime sometimes clumsy preoccupied hands find what they want on a messy table and put it in good use - let it be paint, stickers, crayons, fingertips of mixed colours to see the magic happening. 

We opted for lines and dots, but really the possibilities are endless - sheer fabric, ruffled feather, sparkly dust glued to the gritty surface gaining status of a new toy, useful trinket for the moment ahead. It could be made into a domino, a family of six or a baby's foot tickled by the bristles of a painting brush. Chalk pebbles are the easiest to paint and draw on even with the basic skills however any nature's find is versatile enough to play with it the many different ways. I'm sure there is plenty to be found on the streets, corners of buildings, parks and alleys. All we need to do is pick it up and give it a new life although when it comes to styling nature goes into it cleverly and always does it best. x
