Enchanted

Entchanted door Elizabeth Gilbert

Gisteravond heb ik een prachtige livestream gevolgd van The school of live en de special guest was Elizabeth Gilbert. De schrijfster van vele mooie boeken zoals Big Magic (aanrader).

Hoe kan je zelf geïnspireerd worden en blijven in tijden van Corona en Lockdown?

Kijk je angsten aan en ga vervolgens naar jouw ‘enchantment’. Wat doe je echt graag en waar word je echt gelukkig van? Ik was zo geïnspireerd, dat ik vannacht nog een soort van gedicht schreef en vanmorgen een bijpassend knutselwerkje in (een van) mijn journals.

En onthoud voor jezelf; de dingen waar je echt gelukkig van wordt, hoef je niet mee te wachten tot de lockdown voorbij is.

En chanté Liz

You gave us all a word

To take into our lives

To test the value of the day

To find the magic in a way

And the word came from en chanté..

So nice to get to know you

The word sounds like a fairytale

So magical and light

Just ike a day should be

Perfectly silly and bright

Your word brings out the best

In everybody’s day

It makes youw want to live out full

It makes you want to play

It makes you want to eat som popcorn in the midst of the day

Sitting in a bath and watching the bake-off show

This word dear Liz

It’s just so great

It kept me up last night

It makes me long for a nes day

To test it and go out and play

Tot find the magic and the promise of the word

In Italy the say ‘piagere’

An other magic word

So nice to get to know you

So nice to get to use this magical word in so many happy layers

Mesmorising of maybe even sparkling, like Marie Kondo

Does this spark joy?

It does Liz, your  and now also my new word that I take away is

ENCHANTING

So nice to get to know you.

So happy to take you with me in every new day

An other way to look at it.

Is to put it to a test

Does it spark joy, can well be asked

Does it bring out my best?

The time we are alone now is when we can find out

What our purpose is in life.

But ‘now I know’ I’ll shout

It is to do the things I love

The things that bring me joy

The things that make me happy

The things that make me live to the full

The tiny things, the magic things

The things I want to test

Not the dull ones, but the magical,

So different from the rest.

I hope that now, my sleep helps me towards a brand new day

A day that I can put to the test

A day more enchanting then the rest.

A day unlike the previous, but more exciting, more alive, more vibrant and full of possibility

En chanté new day… I am ready to play…
