I never saw a discontented tree.
They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

Das ist eine Illustration die kürzlich entstanden ist, von der Yoga Übung "der Baum". Ich liebe diese Stellung, denn sie verkörpert für mich Balance, Vertrauen, Entspanntheit und Stärke - tief verwurzelt sein und blühen. Und all das wünsche ich Euch für Ostern und für diesen ganzen Frühling. Genießt diese schöne Zeit!
This is a recent illustration of the Yoga asana "the tree". that i love. It embodies balance, trust, relaxation and strength, being deeply rooted and bloom - and that is what i wish you for this easter and this spring! Have a lovely time and thank you for your friendship always!

ReplyDeleteOh Martina!!!!!! I LOVE THIS! The quote along with your magnificent and colorful painting is helping me inch my way toward a spring mentality! And I just saw your comment, and we posted together! Well my friend, we are having a beautiful rain with warmer temperatures, and I think spring is going to be coming soon. I am thrilled and I will watch for the flowers. When I see them, I will think of YOU....you have been a kind friend and flower in my winter garden this year.

ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely illustration Martina! I love the centredness of the patterns in the background. It reminds me I really must get back to yoga after the easter break, it's been too long. I did a 'Tree Pose' painting a few years ago. You can see it here if you like :) Sorry about long link! ;) http://jessielilac.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/my-travelling-tree-pose.html#.U1eZqvldUek
