🪄 A noticeable change is happening, I find this particular time of year magical.

🌱 Witnessing where once there was dying and decay, there are now signs of life emerging.

🌦️Where there was darkness the light returns.

WHY I'M THINKING OF TINSEL?

An Artist/Philosopher specialising in sacred symbolism.

My purpose is to reconnect sacred symbols to their representation, thereby reconnecting us to what we see and do symbolically.

PART TWO
SACRED SPACES - SACRED CONNECTIONS

🏛️ As I stepped inside the temple everything felt different.
The stillness there, wasn't empty, it was alive.
Every sound softened, footsteps, whispers, the quiet rustle of clothing.
The weight I had carried earlier had lifted replaced by calm, and I'm able to be present.

🥿 Later that day, I thought again about that moment of taking off my shoes.
I'd done the same before entering a mosque and a home of a friend.

Why do we take off our shoes?
Perhaps it's more than an act of respect?

I recalled that Moses was told :"Remove your shoes, for the ground where you stand is holy".

💌 I considered, what if, every holy space is also an invitation?

An invitation to connect, to carry something back into the world. What would that be?

✨ Have you ever had a moment that felt like standing on holy ground?

PART ONE - SACRED SPACES

✨ Recently I visited a Temple

Before I entered my mind was heavy. Thoughts circling, emotions unsettled.

🍁 I decided to walk through the Temple's beautiful grounds for a few minutes.

🚪 At the entrance above the doorway, were the words 'Holiness to the Lord'.

I sat on a bench nearby and a quiet thought came.
'Take off your shoes',
So I did

👣 I stood barefoot on the grass, cool, damp, beneath my feet.
In that moment something shifted, I became calmed and present. I felt ready to step inside.

Follow for part 2. What happened next stayed with me.
