Hi all you beautiful people who still finds your way into this quiet place on the internet.
It’s been over a year since I wrote my last blogpost. And I want to thank you so much for still coming here and for writing comments and engaging in my older posts.

I suddenly felt an urge to share a little post with some photos from this past week, when the ice melted away on the lake. This is always the real sign of the arrival of spring. And this year the ice left almost a whole month earlier than usual. We got an early spring this year, and no words can describe how grateful I am for that.

Last week the ice started breaking into pieces and for each day that went by the ice slowly sank into the water. I think it is so beautiful to witness this happening every year.
Suddenly you wake up one morning and you see the sunlight glimmering on the surface of water. And it feels like seeing magic.

So now the spring is here. A new season has started. A new chapter. And I feel it in every cell of my body.
The spring fills me with aliveness a feeling of awe for all life and nature. And I am so glad that I get to experience it once again.

I hope to share some more moments of my spring in here. And I hope that you, whoever you are and where ever you are, have a really wonderful April, filled with all those things that brings you joy.

With love
/ Jonna

    Sweet Spring tidings to you Jonna, we are experiencing an early spring here too. After a very snowy winter it’s lovely to have the flowers peering out through the leaves and dirt and the birds singing in the budding trees. Enjoy this seasonal transition, let it ease your soul, and give you the pure energy of a life filled with love.

    Godmorgon Jonna
    Jag vet inte hur det är för andra.
    Men för mig är text en form av
    ensamhet.
    För oavsett hur den
    Kändes, tänktes, skrevs.
    Så läser, tänker, känner jag
    den i min alldeles egna takt.
    Och i den takten finns det då
    ingen tanke på hur jag
    serut (eller luktar!)
    Men nu när jag har känt på ord och bild
    En tanke jag tänkt länge.
    Tror att jag ser mer natur än du.
    Men att du SER den mer än jag.
    Även om jag kände en hel del den 1 april.
    Ryggsäcken tyngd av vedkubb
    i gryningssolens motljus.
    På en landsläppande, segmjuk sjöis.
    Där luften var fylld av orrarnas
    bubbliga förväntningar på framtiden.
    Kändes allt annat än ett aprilskämt.

    För en av många stunder
    i en form av ensamhet.
    KRAAAM !!!
    ❤️

    Wow, so good to see you blog a little again. Indeed, the nosier, the crowdier it becomes out there on other parts of the internet,
    the more one values quiet little niche like your blog. It is like Grundtjärn or Marsfjällen while your other social media are like
    Gothenburg on steroids. Please, visit this part of the internet as often as you can.

    I read your blog just now, by coincidence I ended up on this page, and how happy am I that I found you writing in the blog again.
    I felt the urge this winter,to travel north for the second time in my life, since I do not live in Sweden. This time I wanted to show my beloved ones where it is that my entire system wakes up and fill with life.
    This early spring was so welcome to travel with my car such a long way up north.
    I put my aurora borealis neklace around the stem of a birch tree to soak in sunlight, wind, connected to the tree. The sun and the wind created a light show because of the chrystals shape and erges, just like a miniature northern light show.
    The elements actively working together, watching the colors light up and change constantly, feeling the fresh winds on my face and just standing there on the edge of a lake near the water and just feel connected brought me so much joy and peace.
    I am thankful to be here and share the early spring, being able to connect to the land myself and carrying the piece of jewelry I love to wear so much, to the homegrounds and physically connect to where I feel it belongs.
    I wish you many spring adventures with nanook, a lot of joy and fresh new energy from the new season.
    Love,
    Janine

    There’s something magical about watching seasons shift, and you capture it so well. The early spring sounds like such a gift, can’t wait to see more of it through your lens. Hope April’s been kind to you so far.

    What beautiful and soothing pictures!
    Thank you Jonna, and many greetings ( :
    P.S.: Doesn’t the centre ice floe in picture four look like a cat (upside down)?

    Hii Jonna,

    that’s so nice to find a new post here. Accualy, it has some kind of magic, when it’s only sometimes..

    I feel so deeply thankfull, that I discovered your chanel so many years ago. Your videos have been part of my life. When I felt down, I watched a video and somehow, I felt better. Thank you Jonna, for sharing so honestly from your life and capturing the amazing nature around you. And the fact, that you connected so many like-minded people, it’s amazing! Now we know, that there is more people who loves hugging trees, diging hands into soil, watching night sky, and much more.

    You are a real inspiriation for me. Thank you!

    Sending you so much love from Slovakia! I hope I will make it to opening your store. Right now, even thinking about it makes me wanna cry.. That kind of tears, when something so amazing happens that you even cant believe it.

    Love,
    Mysh

    “Sometimes it feels weird to say store or gallery because I don’t really know what it is. It is not only like a gallery in a store. For me
    it is more like a little world that you can enter. So, even if it is a store where you can buy our products, our jewelry, art and all of those
    things. The core of it is more like having an oasis, a place where you can enter and experience this place. It is hard to put it into words.”

    “Every time I go into this space, the store I just fall in love and I am like: Wow, we need to make this work in some way. We need to
    open the doors to this space BECAUSE I WANT PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE IT. Just the energy in there gives me so much inspiration.”

    “I look forward to, I feel so excited to get started with all the things now and to finally just do this. To open this gallery once and for all.”

    What you charmingly try to convey is that you want to create a sacred space so magnificent that upon entering it, visitors will have
    a transcendental experience. In other words you want to build another temple, this time open to the public.

    Ultimately, building temples is completely redundant. Everything is already sacred. Just like in this expression that yogi in samadhi
    doesn’t see any difference between lump of gold and excreta of a crow. All we need to do is to keep our augun opin or to remove
    the shoes from our feet to realize that the ground we stand on is a holy ground.

    But since the vast majority of people isn’t anywhere near this level of spiritual realization, building temples is a necessary and
    valuable, intermediate step towards it. So, I am with you on this Jonna, go for it and get the temple building “chit” done. 😊
