A hug

People are social creatures - at least that's what they say, although there are individuals who probably prefer to spend time alone. That is also understandable if we just look around and see some things going on. Nevertheless, communication with the outside world is always present in some way or another and is also very important for our survival, on a global and personal level. Words are important, but what should we do when they don't come so easily or can't be expressed?

We can't deny that our brains have evolved in such a way that we need social connections. We will always long to engage with other people's thoughts, intentions and feelings, it is our default mode. However, sometimes we just feel too confused or muddled, so clear words and decisions don't come, even to ourselves. (come on, why are you so surprised now? We all talk to ourselves to some extent, don't we? 😆)

Maybe that barricade comes from feeling heavy, stuck and messed up? That sucks. Sometimes the key is to zoom out and go easy on things, but getting back to being heavy... hmmm... rocks are heavy too! And look, here they are. Of different sizes.

I brought these home the other day from the beach. Already there I made a little composition inspired by a local artist's works that contain pebbles representing people. I saw those little scenes on a street market and thought it was so cute. Sure, I am not an artist but I can try to make something in my limited and basic form at home.

Real artists from the community - please don't judge! 😂

Some basic material for a simple thing can be cool too. A minimalistic approach maybe, to get out step by step from the black night.

Stars can also shine to illuminate the night and highlight a hug between two people. Oh, a hug? 😀

If the hug lasts long enough, it doesn't really matter who those two pebbles are, perhaps some energy will be released and any feelings of heaviness may disappear. Let's try it.

These pebbles already did it. 🤗
