We have arrived in our own paradise. Dragonflies zoom through the air and disappear into the swishing reeds. Little birds sing unseen amongst the trees beside our mooring. I have spread my yoga mat on the pontoon and begin sun salutations in the early morning sunshine. In the dappled shade of the trees I listen to all the sounds around me as I stretch. I have never felt so time rich as I am now…
I have such a feeling of freedom, not having any plans or any work ahead of me in the days, weeks or months ahead. Most of us are ruled by the clock, as we wake and every day is regimented with responsibilities and duties. I have always worked, from the age of 16. I have never known more than the feeling of a weekend or a holiday, away from my time belonging to someone else. Now all my time is my own and I can luxuriate in time. I am a millionaire in minutes, I have more than most people can dream of.
Zeeshan jumps off the boat and flops down on my yoga mat just where I need to put my leg down. He rolls around with joyful abandon at the natural paradise he finds himself in. He never had grass or trees in his life up till now!
Phil now has time after the heavy work of boat projects, to devote to photography. He took these stunning photos I’m showing off on this post. We are both creative and desire to make beautiful things.
It is exciting to be at a point in time where we can be open to opportunity. We all need purpose, and having left a great career, I want a new focus. Coming soon is River Scent, an aromatic holistic venture. I have the name and the logo, the rest is coalescing in my mind right now… as I have plenty of time to think. What will I bring to the world next?
