A dream coming true, a room of my own - weird to feel all emotional about it. I am working with high-end materials that give the room a grand sound 🎙i cannot wait to fool around with my 47strings! 🎙

I look back, I look forward. I am wandering off to misty Lofoten whilst projecting myself near the clearest lake in the Cairngorn mountains. The humbling majestic landscapes make me listen to classical composers. I shall inhale their music. #Norway #Scotland #nanshepherd #philosophy #poetry #nature

My Garden — like the Beach —
Denotes there be — a Sea —
That’s Summer —
Such as These — the Pearls

My inner landscape looks like my garden, in between the beautiful weed there are flowers #blooming / I am enjoying a slow summer at home. 💚

Here I am in my #garden, what is she telling me? It is important to be aware that #nature is blended in us human beings in order to find #balance, allignment, and (re)connection between nature and mankind. We are nature!
