Welcome:)

Hello dear,

If you are on this page, it means that you have been attracted to the beautiful roses that are blossoming at the beginning of this site and that you are ready to plunge into a universe of poésie and creativity.

This website has been guided to me for many years now. First the name: "Guided by the roses". It is a sentence that I read in the amazing book M Train from Patti Smith  and that had struck with me: "We are guided by the roses, the smell of a page." 

Somehow, while reading this simple but amazing sentence in Greece, the smell and the view of the blue sea in front of me, my heart had been touched. Deeply touched. It was as if I had never heard a sentence as perfect as this one. I had written it down into a little notebook and "forgot" about it. But years after years, it kept coming back to me, and I started to realize that the Roses had been a common theme for me. In a song I wrote. In this book. In a city I was oddly attracted to (city of roses), in people that were guiding me... So I finally decided to follow this Rose, those Roses and do what I felt guided to do. 

Along the years I realized that one thing I had always been doing without crediting any value to it was writing. I wrote small texts, poems, songs. Writing has always been a way for me to understand my inner world and mostly to create something onto this world. It is also the purest way I find to feel connected to a greater Source and to Inspiration. More than just writing, I feel like this journey of following the Rose, has been leading me to finding my own voice, my truth, my creativity and to dare and allow myself to express it to the world. Exploring the treasures that were always hidden inside me, the perfume and color of my soul, and humbly showing it and sharing it with the world. How beautiful a Rose is. How pure and majestueuse, and fragile and strong at the same time. It is always very vulnerable to show something you have created; and it was a real challenge for me to allow my creativity to rise, emerge and be; and then to allow it to be seen.

I am very happy to share with you samples of those texts, poems, songs, and paintings. I am very grateful for this safe space that enables me to put these creations together and to share it with the world. Thank you to you Reader, for your attention and curiosity that have brought you here. I hope you will enjoy the ride. May this space remain sacred, a place of beauty, creativity, intimacy, love, joy and respect. And inspire others to go within and find their own treasure soul, to share it with the rest of the world. As I sincerely believe that we are all artists at heart :) With love. Charlotte
