IT’S ADVENT!
We’re in the 3rd week of Advent here and I just wanted to share last weeks advent chalkboard drawing with you. Down below you’ll see a drawing I did of a Mother with her child, for me we are all children of 1 mother, great spirit…whatever you wish to call it.We use the verse of Rudolf Steiners about advent, which speaks about which kingdom we’re focusing on each week.
Our family celebrates advent over a period of 4 weeks, each week is dedicated to the celebration of a kingdom, mineral,plant,beasts and then human…where all 3 kingdoms are present. It is a time for reverance, a time to recognise that we are all connected and one. A time for quiet, yet celebration, introspection…
A time when love is almost visible.
Each week I write the verse for the week next the above picture and draw either sea shells, crystals,stones etc around it, or plants, fruit etc, or beasts and then finally the birth of humankind, as we understand it now.
May you all have a wonderful Christmas, where ever you are and whatever you believe, it is a time of magic…anything seems possible. I may not be able to blog again until after Christmas as I have many wishes that I’m hoping will come true before 25.12…if I only blog next year, please understand. xxx
