My Soul Vacation during COVID Lockdown – by Maren Lange, Fashion Expert & Intuitive Light Worker
It’s a beautiful Saturday morning in Germany. It is April 2020. The world is in lockdown for a few weeks. We’re in quarantine to prevent the virus Sars-Cov-2 spreading. It’s like the country is in a WINTER SLEEP. I am happy to live countryside and able to take long walks and bicycle rides through nature.
It’s great to spend quality time and get to know nature more, I am thinking while I walk through the fields. The birds are singing and swirling and floating. And all the flowers and trees along the side of the roads, that I haven’t paid much attention to before come into full view. It is quite meditative, I think. No wonder, walking meditation has become popular. You walk and let you mind wander as well … it feels nice. And while I walk, I start to daydream.
It is nice to be here, in nature … but how would it be to be on vacation again? I used to travel a lot before the lockdown. Exploring the world, new cultures and different food. Well … that might take some time. How about exploring your own country a bit? Maybe by train, I think to myself. And in my imagination, I start packing my bags and realize I am smiling and my mind starts drifting again.
I find myself surrounded by loads of different birds. Some are colourful, some have tiny eyes some are big and round. Some have a long beak; some are rather short. But they all look at me in a very friendly, kind, almost loving way. I enjoy their company, their friendliness.
I wonder, why do I find myself surrounded by hundreds different birds? What is the purpose of my visit? Is it to enjoy the beautiful sound they make or is it the endless diversity that there is …
After a while I realize, I am at the dead end of a field and I have to turn around and walk back towards reality. What a blissful short vacation I’ve been on!
