• My Blue Ridge Beatitude

  Posted at 6:50 pm by maisieandpip

  Jun 12th

  28 years ago I had a nervous breakdown. It was devastating. I found healing in the mountains of western North Carolina. This week I finally found the words to make peace with what happened to me. Writing is my therapy.

  After I read my words, I realize there were gentle signs along the way directing me towards my healing – though I did not realize it at the time. It brings to mind a favourite quote from Danish philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard.

  “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

  This year’s garden is already bringing me so much joy. It’s like a little Indian jewel box.

  Here are some of my late spring garden flowers posing in a little vintage vase. The vase is from Soho Pottery and the design is “Sunningdale.” It was made around 1935. I bought it from an antique shop on Guisborough high street for my mum’s birthday in 1981. The music is Souvenir – by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Moby.

  Yesterday, it felt like the evil prevalent in the world right now was sucking all the oxygen from the air making it hard to breathe. I stepped into my garden to spend some time with my flowers for respite. Their colours brought me some joy.
