half lit. i don’t want to wallow in dispirited feelings about this restrained glow. all strung up for the holiday show, however, lacking vigilant glory for the revelatory moment to aid with the once-a-year-sleigh landing, i surrendered to the semi-dim light and thought maybe the heavy glow was overrated anyway. in the meantime, i wait on winter to surrender warily. i’m making space for spring in my nest and in my heart, sprucing things up and filling up with golden healing light. i sprinkle some spring along everywhere i go, creating a glimpse of what is possible. sometimes in surrender there is glory. #thef0lia #surrender #glow #glory #revelatory #vigilant #winter #spring #springfever #space #golden #heart #light #creating #bethechange #newparadigm #φωλια #φωλιά #φώς #ημιφως #δόξα #καρδιά #παραδοση
uncovered. we are no longer covered in snow, however, since it stuck around for some time, i had a few opportunities to capture various scenes. there’s a certain level of comfortability people endure around here to live so discomfortably. it never set in with me. even baby bear is anticipating plunging into some tepid waters sooner than later. it certainly doesn’t do any character-building for me, in fact it settled a deep dive of soul searching that is guiding me in another direction. i’m not choosing to live half-dead to get on by, frozen in fear of extremes or of invalid hesitations of bodily limitations. i know better. any bodily ailments are signals to take a closer look, not to take insensible measures to masks symptoms. individually and collectively, we have so much potential to unveil. dig deep but climb out of the endurable discomfort now of which we are crawling our way out of the most existentially challenging time of our life. i choose to live copiously and create boutifully. #thef0lia #φωλιά #φωλια
in progress. what we have here is science in progress. there is often something in-the-making in our nest (mostly intentional), and this latest one has led to disappointment. this beauty was a gift and the other exclusively white ones we felt could use some pizzazz along the edges. our choice in dyes didn’t exhibit what we had anticipated, blushing flower heads with selected beloved hues. we will try our luck with other ideas for brightening up the petals again and again for as long as it takes. the beauty of science is it’s always up for debate and it’s never settled because we are always asking questions. one tentatively theorizes with a hypothesis, or an assumption or concession made for the sake of argument. next, a curious mind sets out to put it to the test with experimentation until proven otherwise. it’s an ongoing process packed with questions, probing and scrutinizing every aspect of the belief along the way. it's never a creed set in stone because as history has proven itself, something else comes along to debunk it and another thinking process rebirths. that is until now, when after centuries of the self-appointed ministries of truth infiltrate their religious undertones throughout every medium and frequencies available and proceed with fabrications by omission because with the assumptions hidden, no one can debunk the process. to posit that the one and only science that fits the narrative of false prophets brings us closer to faith is a sleight of hand that makes fools of us all. faith has nothing… no thing to do with it! #thef0lia #faith #gottohavefaith #science #notscience #hypothesis #theory #assumptions #concession #debunked #debunk #creed #process #narrative #φωλια #φωλιά #επιστήμη #πιστη #πίστη #υπόθεση
labels, labels, labels blah, blah, blah. i was over them years ago when teachers were barking their “expertise” at us regarding middle bear. perception is a powerful thing and self-knowing trumps all whilst this political identity that’s been forced down our throats is all minutia. these tiny tags say it all. felt, feel, feeling. subdivision will certainly be our downfall especially when so compulsory. it has nothing to do with identifying ourselves for the purpose of a label, this only withdraws us from the influence of self and our connection to our hearts and each other. i admire the heartiness of fellow humans who get feisty about this, who see where this is heading and won’t stand for it. #thef0lia #division #selfcare #selfworth #labels #blissfullyfearless #bethechange #newparadigm #humanracegetoffyourknees #humankind #feel #feeling #perception #politicalidentity #minutia #selfknowing #consciousness #thefutureisnow #connection #φωλια #φωλιά #συνείδηση #επιγνωση #αντίληψη #αυτοφροντίδα
on the shoulders of a giant. some days, when the sun doesn’t wake to salute you, inversions are required. a few squares down you may read why they are unavoidable in our routine and these photos were meant to be included, well i'll add yet another square here to gab about them. with just about everything on the table these days, it’s comforting to rest my head on an insulated earth while toes stretch for the heavens. only a few seconds of courage is vital to master this, then the question of the day is how can i absorb the abundance and prosperity emanating my way. what i see from down here is the whole sky and everything else are weather forecasters deterring me from reaching my paradise. #thef0lia #blissful #blissfullyfearless #selfcare #selfworth #yoga #motivation #breatheyourbiome #inversion #headstand #routine #consciousness #breathe #sky #heaven #humanracegetoffyourknees #prosperity #abundance #selfhealing #courage #newparadigm #thefutureisnow #φωλια #φωλιά #κουραγιο #ουρανός #παραδεισος #παράδεισος #κίνητρο #συνείδηση
transformations. stalactites started melting today, whichever ones endured the prying hands that whacked off mostly the hefty ones that is. they were quite the sculptures, prevailing for a few weeks, not a good sign from an energy point of view. a whole lot of absconding heat, but from a crisp air vantage point, red flowed with salubrious air. still a lot of murkiness and not nearly warm enough to expose much skin, i paused for a moment to witness beautiful changes without resistance, drip by drip. barely needing to do a thing, the icicles melted away gradually into the soppy dissolving snow absorbing its abundance. it's a miraculous week, aim toward something beautiful by giving yourself into a part of something so much bigger. opportunities occur when we let it all melt away. the past is a memory, the future doesn’t exist yet…we are creating it as we go. breathe it in slowly, beautifully and awake from the dreamspell. click link in bio and search red or redwood to find out about red. #thef0lia #breathe #red #newparadigm #opportunity #stalactites #winter #thefutureisnow #awake #transformations #φωλια #φωλιά #σταλακτίτες #αναπνέω #αφύπνιση #μεταμορφωση
stillness holds it all. diving deep into the goodness this weekend with my sidekick and my sidekick’s sidekick. i welcome moonbeams in this space and when the sun isn’t so coy, i always long-for her rays and stretch out wherever she casts her beams across the floor. we make space for it here. it’s us, awake, moving and receiving. it’s a discovery. some days it’s morning, others it’s evenings and often it’s both. a few rhythmic movements for me is what it takes intermixed with baby bears huggies, or pecks and a whole lot of times taking her lead. today, she was moved to snap a few shots instead. choose peace and opportunity that arises with every new day…discover what turns on the magic for you. #thef0lia #awake #awakening #discovery #magic #opportunity #peace#still #stillness #φωλια #φωλιά #ειρήνη#αφύπνιση #μαγεία #ακίνητος
"by the power of grayskull, i have the power.” --he-man something about watching this cartoon left me with the same exhilaration after beholding the immensely involving movie “rocky” in the theater…running up the exit aisle, my hands up like a goal post… i was invincible. if a humble person or a guy from the back streets of philly can be so magnetic and powerful, why not me? my heart raced and i am certain everyone could see the light beaming from my halo of awakening. this kitty has this sentiment, however, with more of a funny-you-should-ask look to her…it’s a cat thing. he-man is the archetypal, alpha male that taps into his higher self which is omnipresent and intangible only to be invoked when called forth by vocalizing the intention to proclaim it. only those who are awake will see it day-to-day. inside the castle grayskull, the power of consciousness or spirit lies, as within our skull is the vessel that holds the pineal gland and if decalcified activates the higher self and achieving cosmic consciousness—it’s what makes one the master of the universe inside of you. the mighty he-man with his allies defend the mysterious grayskull from the evil forces of skeletor who represents the opposite of the light, the will, the soul. defending the secrets of the castle from darkness, death and fear is the premise of every episode. losing to fear means losing all of the power. read that again. the greatest story ever told has been told to us in many ways, on many screens, yet as a collective we fail to reflect on such "woo woo" messages. the influential, carl jung once said, "until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." and yet now with current false gods adumbrating a dark, dark winter and other alternative fears that are equally infelicitous, we do not take to battle to protect our castle. we are in the midst of a biblical transition and i feel like he-man thrusting the sword above my head declaring the magic spell, by the power of grayskull I have the power, just to go to the supermarket. i am the only one scuttling up and down the aisles not looking like a bandit and wondering where all the alpha males are at.
the face off. the imagination of these waggish chums after eleven months of social conditioning does provide a sweet pastime. it beats the functionary of mindless time and motion we grew accustomed to in our previous lifestyle. despite my continual requests to not feed the quadrupeds from our plates, my little ones continue with their pixieish ways. i have to give it to the cat; he has proven to have quite the will power. his confidence in his stillness is admirable. cats are gracefully fierce, grounded, always in the present and ambling about without a care in the world. spending more time in the indulgent palettes of our nest has attested that the unhealthy and unnatural decrees are beginning to backfire onto those who maliciously implemented them, as long as you figured out the game and not become a willing player. this is the opportunity to be like a feline. take time to go inwards, create space to be exponentially creative and forget about the preprogramming show out there. turn off all the white noise and settle in. eventually this little bear left her post and the cat took hold of the moment and expressed himself. we can learn a great deal from felines. lean into the shift, find the peace in the stillness knowing when to pounce, knowing there is purpose in the waiting. #thef0lia #cats #feline #confidence #still #stillness #grounded #fierce #present #space #create #creative #whitenoise #inwards #peace #newparadigm #thefutureisnow #humankind #humanracegetoffyourknees #φωλιά #φωλια #ειρήνη #ηρεμία #γάτα
in the midst of innocence, we remain forever playful. together with our white landscape, we grow creative. under heavy clouds, we sled on. on left behind cardboard, we glide downwards. deep into frostiness, we transform an unsmiling, barren and frozen scene into motion. on glistening snow, more sunbeams to hold. in every one of our cells, more photonic light grows. it’s ours to have and to hold. i'm wired even after numerous hikes up the hill. anyone else feeling it? #thef0lia #playful #snow #winter #winterwonderland #winterfun #breatheyourbiome #frost #frosty #frozen #light #photonics #φωλια #φωλιά #χιόνι #χιονι #φως #φώς
devotion of attention. it’s the bits of light that feeds me these days, especially in our frozen enrobed white landscape…such a welcome vision in february. no doubt this beloved band of earth commands my attention even if it’s not my seasonal preference. in these cloudy and confusing times, when most are not recognizing what they are disturbingly enthusiastic to see play out, it’s these nourishing moments of beauty that remind me how intricate and brilliant this universe is even as intense things may seem. so, until i find my footing on disrobed landscape, i will bless all opportunities and experiences which will get me to where i am meant to be. as my winter-loving bear climbed up plowed snow, the destiny of the winds caressed my exposed bits…it felt like something unimaginably beautiful in the making. #thef0lia #beauty #brilliant #light #sunset #wind #snow #winter #winterwonderland #landscape #nourish #beauty #opportunity #experience #universe #breatheyourbiome #bethechange #newparadigm #thefutureisnow #φωλια #φωλιά #χειμώνας #χιονι #τοπίο #εμπειρία #ηλιοβασίλεμα #ομορφιά
