Tutto con leggerezza ✨

Take everything with lightness. That’s what’s been whirring around in my brain and my body the last weeks. Leggerezza. Leggerezza. Leggerezza.

It’s really starting to feel like spring in Rome. The days are officially longer, the anticipation of Easter and then summer is swirling around in so many conversations I’ve had. Without a doubt, things are still uncertain here. I suppose they always have been (even before the whole global pandemic). For now, we know restaurants will not re-open until May, we know that life as we knew it is not imminently going to return, to be frank- we’re not really sure what international travel will look like this summer. As always, we’re living with a lot of question marks. I am living with my own question marks as well.

I keep reminding myself to take things lightly, softly, with ease. When I find myself impossibly lost in my thinking mind I come back to lightness. Being intentional and purposeful and yet also being patient and not allowing myself to grip too tightly to anything. That’s my yoga. Aside from moving my body (which inevitably helps me get out of my head) yoga is allowing myself the space to take things lightly. Allowing the joy of lightness to radiate through my daily experiences. Appreciating the work I have now, the variety, the daily moments of bliss. Delicious soft moments like the smell of spring and the sunshine and my first strawberries of the season and my feet in the grass. Appreciating that life keeps unfolding and it keeps being magic and I can live lightly without floating away. Tutto con leggerezza
