Oh my... I didn't expect that.
Today on the birthday of a VIP member of my human family! In between dumplings and cake, I've just checked the second building block of our new foundation.
Expect the unexpected! Gentle breeze, clear air.
Discover the possibilities.
Ms. Kati is convinced that one should explore all the horizons that now open up from a healthy, safe soul home.
For example, this level. Horn thingamajig. Oh no... it was maple!
More precisely, Maple Valley. We’ve had enough valleys lately. We choose the mountain. After all, the prophet doesn’t arrive in the ditch for new visions.
A friendly bench invites us to consciously consider the little light after the darkness of the past weeks.
New, still a bit disoriented, it is indeed making its way to us. Upwards. Very prophetic!
I’ll take a little break on the opposite meadow for now. After all, they have truly provided enough little mouse holes here for weary dog companions.
A magical green something now draws attention to itself.
'Welcome to my world!' it resounds from the green delight.
'Yes, yes, you're amazed. I bring possibilities. Look at me. Camouflaged like a hand, recognized as mindfulness, I meet you here. What values can I gift you?'
Hmm, we are amazed.
Ms. Kati intuitively chooses peace and calm from the offerings.
In maple circles, it is rumored that the secret power is revealed only when one has visited the legendary old graveyard.
Okay... well then. Let's go.
The three wise men at the Holy Grail of the horizon point into the valley.
Huh? I wonder a bit, but I happily follow Ms. Kati down. Isn't it sparkling mysteriously behind the peculiar grave slab?
Don’t let yourself be distracted by shiny detours, one remembers, and there we find ourselves in a dead end.
Great. Here is the end of the line, at least for the last remnant of the old wastewater from the past cycle.
We do our part, and simultaneously a pure spring appears from the apparent nothingness. Letting go should ultimately be rewarded.
Refreshed, we are now ready to ascend with peace and calm in our luggage.
'Finally!'
A very patient table greets us at the waypoint.
' Yes, I was to send you warm greetings from Ms. Silphie, called the Ordinary. Unfortunately, she is unavailable due to personal reasons. However, she will soon be here in splendid yellow, quite tall. Take what you need. She has sown plenty of values.'
Ms. Kati gratefully cleans the small table and happily takes stability, grounding, and joy from Ms. Silphie's treasure chest.
Down the hill, towards the small hut. Our path leads us to tranquility, the symbol of stability.
The pyramid stone. A reminder of stable values is not protected by angel wings for nothing.
How often have villains tried to topple it.
The last coup almost ended badly. The land forever divided, the peoples filled with grief.
But thank the heavens, a beautiful reunification of the past and future has found a visionary place here.
Rest in peace, you strife of the last cycles.
As we look back at the transition, I briefly soak unnoticed in the beaver water at the foot of the holy mountain.
Ms. Kati is still completely in awe of the possibilities in values that Maple, Silphie, the Ordinary, and the pyramid stone have gifted us.
I tell you, building a foundation really makes you tired. At least after all that birthday feast.
Until soon for the next adventure,
Your Gretl
