As part of my mystery romantic trip with Patterson, I found myself lakeside of Whakatipu, Queenstown. Whilst Patterson had been treated to a couple of hours sailing on an Americas cup yacht on the lake, I had made it my meditation to be Finding50 heartstones. Whakatipu’s lakefront is a place I’ve known as a treasure trove of stones that when you look come in all shapes and sizes of hearts.
I had so much fun, single pointedly focused on finding a collection of heartstones that I will make up into one “Queenstown big heart” as a piece of art – each stone holding the memory of each year of my life, which I will document separately.
As an aside, I had a magic moment relating to heartstones en route to Thailand. Whilst on a stopover in Sydney reboarding the plane there was one magazine left on a stand that felt like it was there ‘just for me’. The first article I opened to was a story of a woman photographer who had documented in photography one thing every day which she could find to be grateful for. There, amongst her images was a beautiful collection of heart stones.
Now today, day three in Thailand when we finally get to spending time at the beach, the first thing I look for and find is a heartstone, and so, the more I look, the more I am able to find…”Acres of Diamonds”. I delight in imagining each stone being priceless gems and how rich I am……such abundant beauty for all to seek, find and enjoy. Indeed I am - injoy, rich of spirit, in imagination, in present moment awe and awareness of so much to be grateful for.
This evening I will return to the beach to complete collecting 50 heartstones for my heart of art project number 2 “Thailand big heart” – with each stone representing and ‘holding space’ for each year of my next 50 to come.
