AUTUMN IS FADING, THE LAST OF ITS LEAVES ARE FALLING FROM THE TREES
WINTERS SHADOW IS APPROACHING, THE FIRST SNOW IS ON THE GROUND
ALREADY I AM THINKING AHEAD FOR SPRING AND SUMMER TO BE HERE
BUT THERE IS BEAUTY IN EVERY SEASON
A REASON THAT NATURE FLOWS.. SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN AND WINTER
SPRING BRINGS WITH IT RENEWAL
SUMMER THE SEASON OF GROWTH
AUTUMN SINGALS REPLENISHMENT
WINTER ALLOWS THE EARTH TO REST
LIKE THE SEASONS OUR BODIES AND SOULS NEED REST,REPLENISHMENT, RENEWAL AND GROWTH
SO WE CAN BE THE WARRIORS
THAT STAND GUARD FOR MOTHER EARTH
AND WATCH THE BEAUTY OF THE SEASONS YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR!

TODAY : SIMPLICITY
TODAY THE DRUID,BUDDIST AND WICCIAN IN ME HAVE COME TO AN ACCORD
TODAY I AM EMBRACING SIMPLICITY!
I AM GIVING THANKS TO ALL THE LITTLE THINGS THAT I TAKE FOR GRANTED.
I AM THANKFUL TODAY BECAUSE
I WOKE UP
I WAS BASICALLY FREE OF PAIN
THAT I HAD A GOOD LAUGH WATCHING REGIS AND KELLY ON T.V.
THAT I ENJOYED A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE
THAT SO FAR I HAVE BEEN GOOD TO MY BODY BY EATING RIGHT
THAT THE SUN WAS SHINING AS I WALKED MY TWO DOGS
THAT I MEDITATED
THAT MY HOME IS COMFORTABLE
THAT I LIVE IN A SAFE NEIGHBOURHOOD AND COUNTRY
THAT I HAVE GOOD FRIENDS
THAT I HAVE A FAMILY THAT I LOVE AND WHO LOVES ME
THAT AFTER 29 YEARS TOGETHER I STILL LIKE SPENDING TIME WITH MY HUSBAND
THAT I HAVE FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND MOVEMENT
THAT I CAN GO TO THE SUPERMARKET AND AFFORD THE FOOD
THAT I CAN PAY MY BILLS
THAT I CAN DREAM AND EXPECT THAT THEY CAN MATERIALISE
I CAN AND DO, DO THESE THINGS DAILY, MOST OFTEN WITHOUT THOUGHT
SO TODAY I CHOICE TO LIVE WITH A CONSCIOUSNESS OF ALL OF THE SIMPLE THINGS I TAKE FOR GRANTED
TODAY I GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT I HAVE
TODAY I LIVE IN AND GIVE THANKS FOR THE SIMPLE!
TODAY I AM EMBRACING SIMPLICITY!

love - a poem
LOVE STARTS AS A CONCEPT AND A DREAM
AS BABIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN WE LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY
AS WE GROW IT IS OFTEN WRAPPED IN FANTACY
THEN IT TURNS TO PUPPY LOVE
FROM THERE LOVE TAKES MANY TURNS
LAUGHTER AND LIGHT....HEARTBREAK AND MORE
WE MARRY
HAVE CHILDREN
GROW OLD TOGETHER
SOME DIVORCE AND THEN FIND A NEW LOVE
OTHERS BECOME CYNICAL AND FIND LOVE IN THINGS
OTHERS GUARD THEIR HEARTS AND NEVER LET LOVE IN
OTHERS GIVE AND GIVE AND NEVER LOSE THEIR OPEN HEARTS
LOVE MEANS SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS
TO SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE
I LOVE PUPPIES AND WARM SUMMER DAYS
FRIENDS
FAMILY
AND YOU.

PATHWAYS
I HAVE BEEN SEEKING INNER PEACE AND COMING TO A UNDERSTANDING OF MY ROLE IN BOTH MY LIFE AND THE OUTTER WORLD FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS NOW. AT TIMES I FEEL THAT I AM EVOLVED AND LIVING MY LIFE WITH INFORMED PURPOSE...I AM ON THE PATHWAY .....THEN WHAM!!...A MAYOR ROAD BLOCK APPEARS THAT WILL SEND ME INTO A TAIL SPIN AND HAS ME QUESTIONING MY CHOICES AND DIRECTION I AM TAKING. SO FAR MY PATH HAS BEEN LITTERED WITH MANY OBSTACLES AND EASY HAS NOT BEEN A MOTTO I HAVE FAITH IN.
I WATCH MANY CELEB'S AND LIFE SKILL EXPERTS AND SO CALLED GURU'S SPOUTING ON AND ON ABOUT CREATING A LIFE FILLED WITH PASSION AND PURPOSE WITH EASE....AND MOST OF THEM MAKE IT APPEAR THAT THIS IS A SIMPLY PROCESS..CLOSE YOUR EYES AND VISULISE AND WHAM BAM HERE IT IS!....WHAT I DON'T SEE IS THE MESSAGE THAT TO REALLY ACHIEVE THIS, IT REQUIRES CONTINUAL WORK AND THE ACCEPTANCE THAT AT TIMES ROAD BLOCKS WILL OCCUR AND TO BE THAT WINNER IN LIFE, IT IS HOW YOU HANDLE THOSE OBSTACLES AND WHERE YOU GO FROM THAT POINT THAT IS IMPORTANT!
AT THIS POINT I THINK THAT WE ARE HERE TO LIVE DAILY , TO TRY TO BE POSITIVE TO ACCEPT AND MOVE THROUGH ANY OBSTACLES , TO BE OPEN TO LESSONS AND TO GO WITH THE FLOW WEATHER IT IS UP-HILL OR A STRAIGHT PATH....TO BE OPEN TO THE FACT THAT LIFE IS FULL OF MANY THINGS AND THAT NOT ALL OF THEM WILL BE POSITIVE...BUT THAT IS OK! REALLY HOW ARE WE TO LEARN AND GROW IF WE NEVER EXPERIENCE A CHALLEGE .
I HAVE ALSO REACHED A POINT OF INNER UNDERSTANDING ...I HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE FOR ME ON MY TERMS AND IF AT TIMES I AM UNCLEAR OF WHAT THAT MEANS , THATS OK....I AM IN NO RUSH. I KNOW THAT I WILL REACH MY DESTINATION. IN ACCEPTING THAT I CAN ONLY COMPARE MYSELF TO MYSELF, I NO LONGER FEEL THAT I NEED TO COMPARE MYSELF TO OTHERS AND THEN JUDGE MYSELF OFTEN NEGATIVELY....THAT ACHIEVEMENT IS A PERSONAL THING...THAT GROWTH IS LIFE LONG AND THAT THE GOAL POST IS FOR EVER CHANGING....THAT LIKE THE OCEAN'S TIDE, LIFE WILL EBB AND FLOW AND IF I ALLOW MYSELF TO FLOW ALL IS WELL!
BLESSED BE

A MEDIA RANT!!!
TODAY WE LIVE IN A ENVIRONMENT OF MEDIA HYPE...EVERYWHERE WE GO THE INFORMATION NETWORK IS THERE! REPORTING ON EVENTS THAT THEY DEEM EFFECT US...THEY ...THE NETWORKS..EVEN GO TO THE EXTREME OF THEN HAVING PANELS OF SO CALLED EXPERTS TO THEN EXPLAIN THESE EVENTS TO US ..THE UNINFORMED AUDIENCE, WE NEED TO BE LEAD TO CONCLUSIONS... WE COULDN'T BE LEFT TO FORM AN OPINION BY OUR LITTLE OLD SELVES NOW COULD WE.....
I HOPE YOU ALL COULD HEAR MY SARCASM....WHO ELSE OUT THERE IS TOTALLY PEE-EYED THAT WE ARE BEING LED AND CONTROLLED BY THE MEDIA! WHERE IS THE NEWS WITHOUT INTERFERENCE ...WHERE ARE THE REPORTERS THAT REPORT THE FACTS ...NOTHING BUT THE FACTS...AND WHEN DID BEING A "CELEBERITY" MEAN YOU MADE THE NEWS.ISN'T THAT WHY ENTERTAINMENT SHOWS WHERE INVENTED!
I AM ALSO COMPLETELY ANNOYED BY THE LACK OF FACTS BEHIND STORYLINES OUT THERE .....ALSO THE LACK OF FOLLOW UP NOW DAYS ON REAL STORYS .....
AND THEY WONDER WHY PAPERS AND NETWORKS ARE FOLDING AT A RAPID RATE....
I AM TOTALLY SICK TO DEATH OF REALITY TV OF CELEBRITY CULTURE BEING PUSHED DOWN MY THROAT...THE CELEBRATION OF FLUFF...OUR ONLY OTHER ALTERNATIVES IS THE CONSTANT BAD NEWS SHROVED WITH GLEE DOWN OUR THROATS..WHERE ARE THE POSITIVE STORYS. I KNOW THEY EXIST FOR PETE SAKE...ARE WE SO TOTALLY ONE DIMENSIONAL AS A RACE ....NO BLOODY WAY!!
WE AS A RACE HAVE A ENDLESS CAPACITY TO ACHIEVE ANY THING WE WANT ...WE CAN STOP VIOLENCE ,WE CAN HAVE PEACE, WE CAN END HUNGER AND POVERTY, WE CAN RENEW OUR PLANET AND STOP THE DESTRUCTION
WE CAN DO ANY THING WE WANT..BUT WE NEED TO STEP OUT OF OUR APATHY AND USE OUR INDIVIDUAL TALENTS...TO BECAME A POSITIVE FORCE IN OUR OWN LIVES AND ENVIRONMENTS....ONE SMALL STEP DAILY TOWARDS GROWTH WILL ACHIEVE A PLANET THAT GLOWS WITH POSITIVELY .
WE NEED TO CONTROL THE INFORMATION THAT WE DOWNLOAD INTO OUR MINDS AND PHYSE......ENDLESS CRAP AND NEGATIVITY EFFECTS US WITHOUT MOST OF US BEING AWARE ....IF YOU ONLY EXPECT THE WORST THEN TRULY THAT IS THE REALITY YOU ARE CREATING...
REVOLT NOW....TAKE THAT FIRST STEP......ACHIEVE POSITIVITY THIS DAY..MAKE THAT YOUR REALITY!
BLESSINGS BE
