Jenna:littlebird
Thats what my name means and its really quite fitting. I'm small and flighty and i startle easily. I also collect twigs and flowers and all sorts of natural treasures, not for a nest but if i was going to build a nest it would almost certainly be made of found items.
I started this blog to help find some meaning in my existence; to rediscover myself through reflection, stillness and nature.
These words are my gatherings as I forage through life, seeking out truths and collecting deep rooted wisdom from the Earth. Between the flowers and the treetops is kind of my life philosophy.
I've always loved stories, in fact i think everything should have a story; be it clothes or a pebble or your sofa. Life is personal and I do not want meaningless stuff to fill mine. Thank you very much. I strive for unprocessed, unedited, compassionate, natural living, i hope to be authentic, tread lightly, speak my truth and live in alignment with nature. I don't always manage but i do try. No one is perfect and life can be incredibly challenging; i pray that if anyone should stumble upon this little corner of the internet, my words can provide some comfort and reassurance that, no, you are in fact not the only one that hasn't figured it all out Lets all aim to live like my favourite song lyric: " With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair" Doesn't that sound nice?.
My sister Kathryn wrote this lovely poem for me; while I certainly don't see myself in such a nice way, its pretty much me in a verse :
The Little Bird
There once lived a little bird,
she was often so quiet and never said a word
But while her voice is in a silent slumber,
her mind is full of magic and wonder
Shes the most kind and thoughtful person i know,
shes so creative and can even knit and sew
She pays so much attention to detail and all the little things;
she handmakes everything from lip balms to rings
When it comes to praise she gives herself none,
unless shes just been on a big massive run
Shes great at drawing, painting and even henna;
Yes you''ve probably guessed, The Little Bird is Jenna
Heres me voyaging through this incredible planet we call home. Its an ongoing, never ending adventure full of obstacles, mystery and wonder.
