From Semi-Hermit to Hermit...

Picture
Red Robin I recused. A bird I love who always touches & moves me with a love song.
Autumn following the Nature rhythm has arrived. I see many birds return to our Sanctuary Forest Wild Garden, preparing for Winter, getting ready to hibernate. 

How do I know?

I cleared my bird nest house, donated by my sister-in-law & her husband. I thought they nest in the bird house when it is breeding time in Spring. I discover something new. The tits who nested their babies in the same bird house, bring in nest materials like straw I used for my hens into the nest house. Preparing for Winter. Such a delight & joy to see them getting ready for Winter and coming home to us.

I went through many challenges staying here over the past 1 year and 7 months. I have doubts. Would I able to take this kind of lifestyle? All of all the challenges, I find myself this morning, a deep love growing in me. I grow more and more in love with my forest home. A deep insight arises for me. I love my life as a hermit, living in the Nature, following Nature's way, Nature's Rhythm.

From a semi-hermit life, I officially declare I am a hermit, living a hermit life, in the Nature.
The hermit life I choose is not the kind where I isolate myself totally and hide in a cave, not doing anything.
The hermit life I embrace is following the Nature's Rhythm and the 4 seasons. Where I work in the spring and summer as the days get longer in my forest, home growing food, home made food, storing food for the Winter. As Autumn and Winter arrive, like the birds, go into hibernation and rest. 

​My life will be mainly committing my time to my forest home, creating a home, caring for myself, my husband, Jeroen, the Wild and my 5 hens. Looking after a forest home is a full-time 'work'. Sometimes, I find not enough time to do what I need to do. Only when I have time in 2021, I accompany individual in spiritual life direction online. Of course, when we are allowed to travel, I visit my family in Singapore (seriously, I don't know when. The COVID is not becoming any better but worsening again.)

Any visit is solely by appointment, only when I'm ready. That's how I balance my life now, following the Nature's Rhythm as a hermit in the Nature.
​
* Currently, our forest home is not ready for any appointments. It takes a lot of energy out of me at the moment.  NO visit. *

    Shalom! Peace-FuLL! Bless-FuLL ! Love-FuLL To you!

    I am Elizabeth, and also known as Angel Rose.  My Chinese name is
    黃 秀 珠.

    Ever since I come home to my true self,  I dare to step out and dance in the heart and garden of love.
    ​
    My desire to post here is to have courage to show up as who I am and in return to inspire each beautiful soul on earth to live life as who he/she is.  I am a seeker so I encourage you to be and continue to be a seeker.  Life is inevitable with ups and downs, challenges along our human journey.  However when we make time to insure the growth of our inner garden - our heart with  self-care, nourishment, growth, healing, play, creativity, silence and loving ourselves unconditionally, we can live life to the fullest with peace, bliss, contentment and gratitude, and  we can go forth to serve others in true joy and love.  I share here my journey with you as well as the ordinary moments I witness, experience and encounter in my daily life.  Let us journey together.  Let our journey begins.  let each of our unique soul's story unfolds like a rose opens her petals, revealing her heart.
