Spring seems to have an effect on you, on your
skin, on your mood
and soul, everything that makes up your everydayness.
It’s thanks to the renewing
powerfulness of nature that
everybody feels better in springtime.
Regardless of the mildness of the Greek winter, the new season
still comes as a
predictable surprise. As I watch the hues of light
intensifying around me, it’s
hard not to think of the myth of
Persephone. The
sweet daughter of goddess Demeter who was
kidnapped by Hades and later became
the Queen of the
Underworld, guarantees the eternal cycle of Nature's death and
rebirth. The light she brings is the Greek light that mostly fits my
country,
the one that opens the doors and lets us out.
The only catch with our spring is
that it
must be grabbed by the hair, as short and ephemeral as it is.
One
minute you are staring at the green fields bursting with daisies
and poppies
and the next you are faced with all shades of yellow
dryness. We are now called
to taste the sea and abandon flower
picking and picnics midway. Who could blame a woman in limbo
for taking a quick dive last week-end? (that's me!)
Who could blame summer
for flirting
with us?
Here is an array of springy captured moments we
enjoyed during
our Easter holidays.
The mountains, castle of Corinth hill and the sea, island of Poros.
Hope this beautiful season has gloriously
visited you and your
part of the world. If not, may spring brightness reside
inside you
and fill your life with good energy and positivity.
See you soon
