Bending Birches: Seek & Find, Give & Receive

http://bendingbirches2010.blogspot.com/2013/04/seek-find-give-receive.html

Our Waldorf Inspired Home. Pleased to meet you. Tuesday, April 2, 2013. Seek and Find, Give and Receive. I am back from a week at Sunbridge, continuing on with my studies in Waldorf ECE; handwork, Anthroposphy, working with the cycle of the year, Eurythmy, and sculpture! It was a very rich week and there is much to say. The Christ Impulse can be seen as a force that is bigger than us, something that is all around us. And the impulse is Love and Light. That's it!

They live in the trees and only come out when they are ready to cause jolly mischief:). I was inspired to create these little sprites after a windstorm blew branches down from the trees at the Rose Garden near our home. That, and countless games of peek-a-boo here in our home lately:). Addition to a nature table, for sure!
