VILLA BETULA

UNDER THE SURFACE

Do you remember me being in Prague in September? I made a Prague guide, and one of my recommendations was this botanical garden which got it’s own post, because I loved it so much. So fragile and not very well taken care of. A couple of weeks ago I visited it again, and this time I spent more time having a look under the surface. They had cleaned it up since September, just like I’ve been writing about making this year the year of transformation, reflection and cleansing. And I’ve also mentioned that I’m not afraid of 2017, but I don’t know that for sure every day. Some days I’m terrified. It’s such a hard work to be together with myself all the time. Even though as I write I watch the sunset and three deers just arrived on the field in front of me. To be able to see the beauty in it tells me something good about this day.

Back to the botanical garden – the fragility and abandoned feeling which surrounds me here is like walking into a part of my own mind. Where pretty greenery turn into a black monster when you see the reflection of it. Where things turn a little out of control and even gets a little surreal. Where even the fish is trying to keep it’s head above water…

ABOUT ME

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
