My tattoo, a nautilus star between my shoulder blades, expresses a desire to find my way in life. Always with 5 points (one pointing upward), each has its own meaning. The upward point of the star is representative of the spirit. The other four points all represent an element; earth, air, fire, and water. All these things contributite to life and are a part of each of us.Even though, I didn't intend to live in my birth place again, I find myself back there. For some reason, Leigh and I got drawn to that place. I believe that the last 5 years I was flying very high. For sure, I needed some grounding. Where else could I find a better grounding then close to where my roots are. After 3 years of studying, I can see that it is important to finally practice what I've learnt. It's a challenging time, you've got to function and work with "real" people. It takes a lot of time and energy and therefore teaches me how I can divide my energies equally. The yoga teacher training I am following for the next 2 years gives me a lot of light on my way. And at the same time it holds me in one place for a little while. Doing all of this with Leigh gives me a lot of strength and motivation. It is very beautiful to be able to share such deep experiences with a partner and at the same time grow with it. I feel the direction of my life path. With the knowledge of a physiotherapist, soon a yoga teacher and similar courses in the future, I want to devote my life to yoga, healing and councious thinking. The only thing I've really got to do is trusting myself and not being afraid of my ideas and visions.
