How Blox Nourish

When I am sad or emotional for some reason, I walk over to my magnetic Blok Wall - hungry for something. Sometimes I just nibble. Sometimes I feast. My Blok collection has three things on it magnetically. People, words and art. They each remind me of the importance of connection...and why I’m alive. When I see the beauty in the people I love, I’m reminded of the good times we've shared. They're far more than an appetizer! They prepare me for the main course … which are the words I read on my Blox. They hold my heart where it needs to be. They satisfy a hunger and give me the energy I crave. Could there be something more sweet? OH yes, now my eyes feast on a tasty dessert, which are the layers of art. It’s as if my soul is stirred by the beauty. I’ve noticed that beauty creates a desire to love. Does it get any better than that? By now my sadness is long gone...hope is rekindled and joy is settling in. It’s like these images - of people, words and art have put on a party just for me. I've received so much nourishment and I am gladly full. Then I walk away, and wonder… WHEN and WHERE will the next party be? AND, WHO will be there? Where will I find the next beautiful moment … and hear the next "Blokable" words? Will a piece art made by a child provide the next layer of art ... or will I? I love how these mingled images don’t just give joy to me. Anyone who takes the time to experience it, feels the awe. I’m so grateful for the interaction of the raw materials of ink and iron and how they mysteriously hang on my Blok Wall. Sometimes I hear them say - “come, enjoy the feast”. When I do, they bring wholeness to my life and heart. The energy received welcomes the next nourishing moment…and on and on it goes. Marg Rehnberg www.bloxshop.com
