A Blossoming Spirit

Remember noticing something for the first time, and all of a sudden, it starts appearing everywhere? Making us think, has this become more important now? Is this a sign? Or is the brain simply starting to notice something that has always been there?

That’s what I felt when I visited my favorite city, Auvers-sur-Oise, for the second time, this time as a tour guide for my friend (though not in the literal sense).

“Would you like to see the grave of Vincent Van Gogh?” I asked while taking a tour of the wheat field near the cemetery.

“Yessss,” came the response.

This time, I did not have to search for the place where he rests, and took them there directly. Unlike all the other magnificent graves in the cemetery, there it was —a simple grave covered with thick foliage. What immediately caught my attention was the beautiful crochet sunflower, positioned right behind a real one that had already begun to dry.

And there came the Frequency Illusion!

A few weeks ago, my friend introduced me to crocheting. Drawing inspiration from her incredible work, I decided to try it for myself. I’ve always loved the idea of creating something, so this seemed like the best way. We spent hours sitting in a park, and all I could manage was to do a foundation crochet, the easiest one.

Returning home, I started to practise again, but in vain. I began to lose my patience, and then my crochet hook and yarn both found a resting place in a corner. That’s until I saw this pretty Sunflower. My illusion of starting to see crochet everywhere, that this was a sign for me to begin again, to give it another try.

Because, the process of creation is not easy; it comes with a lot of patience and the passion to put together something beautiful that I could be proud of.

Thanks to this, I began again this time, armed with determination and without thoughts of failure.
