The birthing of 'Mahalia'?

the birthing of 'Mahalia' - let's way and see!
xx

Been a bit absent lately!

Views from the verandah!

Have been noticeably absent from my blogs of late!  Moving process has taken over!  Creating a new space of sacred healing, getting to know the new energy around me.
 
Abundant Mother Earth cocoons me in her breast, she sighs, I sigh - becoming in tune.
Such a precious gift, to be so close to this bounty - all around me her majesty shines brightly.
 
Thank you for this gift - much will manifest from it!
So hopefully back - albietly in a new form - my regular articles!
 
much love to you

Gypsy Girl

Gypsy girl
comes with a gift
to sense and feel
what lies beneath

generations of instincts
lie under the surface
freedom to move
uncover the secrets

cannot be contained
will suffocate and die
need room to dance
listen to the messages

space needs to be clear
of those who impose
so many beliefs
their weight is heavy

you need the space
of life around
you hear, you see
you dance to the rhythm

Gypsy girl
now is a woman
where is your wagon
your freedom's inside you

you need to dance
to feel the air
breeze thru your skin
commune with nature

time to make music
awaken the spirits
much ancestral wisdom
still lies dormant

but it's there
i can feel it
the remnants of captivity

spirits of the land
so much healing is possible

we can remember our dreaming
time to awaken
new beginnings
right relations

we stand at the end
of many different cycles
the end and the beginning
time for celebration

The Day has Arrived


The day has arrived
how glorious it looks
so gentle
fresh and new

a light so perfect
for the eyes
closed in need of rejuvenatory sleep

so much perfection
surrounds us

the orchestra of birds
has begun
nothing imposes it's energy
they all caress and support

we can learn much
from nature
so humble her approach

she gets on
with her purpose
nothing appears to distract

again
so much to learn
in our rambunctious
human ways

trying to control 
the outcome of all
rule with power
over the Earth

what we crave
we're ignorant
we want to feel complete

but no amount
of accumulated 'stuff'
will ever sooth the soul

the Earth
the most precious gift
given for us
to exist

whilst we realize
why we are here

to know true love 
in our hearts

so yes the clock is ticking
like sand - it sifts away
the gift of life
for such a short time

what will I do
with mine

The Silence of the Morning


 The silence of the morning
has always chased my soul
as long as I remember
I've sought the stillness that vibrates

It touched me in ways
I know - I never understood
it's caresses felt like God himself
cradling me in his arms

So much beauty exists here
silent - no - a choir
of voices not familiar
celestial sounds abound

My ears crave this silence
my heart yearns in size
this 'music' seems to come from me
what have we truly been gifted

Like the story of the Musk deer
forever he keeps searching
intoxicating aroma's follow
not knowing the source
of their beauty

Giving thanks to the morning
I remember
all of life is serving
the one great source
of all life
their example I can follow

Warm Rays of Sunshine


Warm rays of sunshine
caress the earth
green and fertile
awakening particles

 glorious site
that first morning sun
showering it's splendour
on country fields

soft and gentle
a tender touch
awakening all life
to another day 

 wintry mornings
 cause icicles to form
imprisoning the motes
awaiting the dawn

freed from their hold
of water turned cold
Ah!! so welcome
  warm rays of the sun

regal production
this life - so giving
promoting growth, abundance
and beauty

imagining the 'little folk'
bunked down for protection
over the night
of winter's pruning

 morning sun's rays
embracing their essence
carrying the energy
of Sun God's wisdom

  joy, full, in their heart
they give thanks 
for their blessings

  understanding
what they've been given

 filled to the brim 
with life
they work
supporting the balance
on the Earth we live

 golden rays of the sun
now spread even further
can feel the energy
of life unfolding

 so much majesty
all around us
can I stop for a moment
give thanks
for this bounty

Sweet Sounds of Life Rustling

I just love the morning
the sweet sounds of life rustling

the stillness and quiet
the air fresh with promise

deep shades of pink
herald the sun's arrival

the smell of newness
fresh beginnings
the sole cry of the rooster
declaring his station

the melodious sounds
of birds - a plenty
nature's orchestra
alive in its feeling

the air so fresh
it tingles my skin
sensations of life
fill my being

each thing in motion
harbingers of the new
it's time to arise
and remember I'm living

I feel the vibration
of life touch my skin
penetrating deeply
caressing my cells

excitement's in the air
a brand new day
a life to live
much to express

a moment is caught
to remember and praise
the giver of life
who bestows us this gift

do I understand
the magnitude
of what's happening here
I'm alive - I breathe
I have opportunities to respond

such a magnificent miracle
exists here and now
I breathe - I exist
I have the gift of life

Thank You
seems so small 
but what else 
can I say

An anchor of Hope



The mid-year point is moving near
2010 - a year we will remember

A lot unfolding - still to come
the ground will shake
we may lose our balance

something so solid required
for each one
an anchor of hope
a base of love

as the landscapes change
before our eyes
onto what do we hold
that won't let us down

such enormous times
but it's said we chose
to be here now
so much learning

it would not be possible
for most
to afford the cost
such exquisite education
knowledge of the ages

so as we move on with our days
take a moment to ponder
if all comes tumbling down
on what will you hold to?

Amid the vibrations of the mountains

     Creativity beckons
Life moves on 
our time gets shorter
every moment gone
cannot be returned to us

Somethings beckoning
faint but discernible
can i be quiet enough to listen
i think it's important

there's something to do
as these moments go racing
something important
some unfoldment that's necessary

can i be still enough to listen
the voice is not shouting
turn down the volume
of all my distractions

how long will you wait
to be who you are
the gifts we've given you
to shine like a star

don't for a second
believe those who don't know
their talk incoherent
garbled by intoxicants

your own voice is clear
from the depths of your wisdom
why do you turn
to those outside you

life is moving
at a pace unparalleled
the time for your contribution
is now - don't delay it

the beauty, the joy
the magnificent vision
you carry around
within your bosom

tear open that shirt
don't care for the buttons
release the force
of your unique creativity

life is waiting
and others, thou not aware
the curtains have parted
the music is playing

they call your name
time for your entrance
your time has come
to show your brilliance

from amongst the magick of the mountains
much love

Another time of moving


mama and zeke

My dear friend 'Bef' - reliable and safe - has transported me around the country in comfort and ease!  She sits outside packed to the hilt - on top, inside and bike at the rear. 

It's been 18 months since she's looked this way - when she brought me down here to see my boy.  Now i'm heading 'back' to my 'friend' and my cat - all my 'stuff' that's been sitting and awaiting my return.

A real sense of sadness leaving this place - like pulling out roots that have found hidden crevices.  I didn't think it would feel this hard - i've grown to love my new 'home' like i didn't expect.

I entered my new decade soon after arriving down here - a young modern woman, now in her sixties!

I packed ready to leave, my gorgeous little retreat - bulging, overflowing - dear Bef looked a scene.  My head started throbbing - building with time - just before driving off - i realized forget it!  What are you thinking?  How do you expect to achieve, driving interstate as sick as a dog!  A call to my friend - yes, come on over she kindly says - stay here for the night until you're ready to go.

Another friend arrives within minutes of the call - you're not driving anywhere, come and stay with us.  Many beautiful friends i've made - like never before - kindness and generosity has been showered on me here - i'll never forget it.  So hard to let go.

So it's been a week tomorrow since my departure day was stalled - body had other plans - now why does that surprise me?  Those of you who know me, know that's a familiar pattern - me and my body meeting at strange places.

Over that time a new year has arrived - i'm still feeling delicate - what's in store? 

I've had heaps of support from my lovely naturopathic friend - nature's medicine has been helping with the healing.

I guess it's been a time of healing - down here in the south - time with my beautiful boy - time with myself.

So 2010 has arrived on our door - feels a lot gentler than the arrival of 2009.  But lots still need to happen - as i'm sure most of you are aware - lots and lots of healing still on the agenda.

But everything begins with 'me' - that's the way it goes - nothing can happen outside 'till it happens within.

So as i sit on my last day here for a while - a mix of sadness and still unshed tears. But i need to go 'back' - to see what i've left behind - will it be part of my journey for 2010?

Back within the aura of Mt Lyndsay and Mt Barney - as well as other mountains cradling the area.  A special energy there - so will see how it unfolds - i'll never forget my time here - i will return.

lots and lots of love to you
and may Life's blessings envelope you
