Boat in the Mist

There are moments when nothing is clearly visible - 

and yet everything important is already known.

The boat drifts through the mist,

yet it knows the way home.

There are times when the horizon dissolves,

when familiar landmarks disappear

and the water turns into a quiet mirror.

Moments when moving forward is no longer about speed,

but about trust.

This painting was born from that space.

When the horizon fades,

it is not a signal to panic —

but an invitation to soften.

To sink into silence.

To merge with the still surface

and allow fears to loosen their grip.

Mist does not erase direction.

It simply asks us to listen differently.

The quiet compass

Beneath the surface, far from noise and urgency,

there is a deeper navigation system at work.

One that does not rely on sight,

but on memory.

In the depths of the soul lies calm —

a quiet compass

that has guided us before

and will guide us again.

The birds above the water move without hesitation.

The boat remains steady.

Nothing rushes.

Nothing resists.

Everything knows where it belongs.

When clarity is not needed

We often believe that certainty must come first —

that only then can we move, decide, return.

But sometimes the opposite is true.

Sometimes the way home reveals itself

only after we stop searching for it.

This painting is a reminder

that letting go is not losing direction.

It is trusting the part of us

that has already found it.

🪶 Motto

“Even in the mist, I find my way home.”

 

🌿 Affirmation

 

“I embrace uncertainty with calm —

guided by silence, I trust my inner navigation.”

Even when the horizon fades,

the soul remembers the way home.

Let go.

Trust the calm.
