The Fog

I looked outside the window
and smiled -
a cloud of Fog had wrapped the city
in her soft mist. 

Suddenly the distant buildings
were just a memory.
What remained seen were only
the closest neighbouring trees. 

My heart filled with joy. 
Oh, how I love days like this. 
The mystery and magic
that awakes with the arrival
of the Fog. 

She has always been close to my heart. 
I love her slowness. 
Her subtle but undeniable presence. 

I love how she pulls the focus closer… 
Towards ourselves…
As if to invite us to enjoy
the moment of unknowing. 

We cannot see the horizon,
but that’s ok. 
There is a beauty in that. 
There is a beauty in the Unknown. 

Sometimes it can feel so scary
to be without a clear vision for the future,
but the presence of Fog teaches us
another way of being in
such a moment. 

When you feel like you’re in the Unknown, 
slow down… Take a moment… 
Go inwards. 

And remember the guidance of the Fog. 
Remember that there can be a beauty 
in not seeing the full view. 

With love,
Elina
