Saturday Night In the Very Heart of Nowhere

Down haunted country roads

Burning one before we got to town

Burning to tear this lonely night down

It's Saturday night til Sunday morning

In the very heart of nowhere

We sat around the fire, darkness consuming all about us outside the circle....a circle of twelve....entities you could call them but I see them as friends, family. Earth beneath us, fire warming us, air keeping us alive and water quenching us.

Trees form part of the circle as do the stones we sit around along with insects and animals joining our communion. The shells lying on the tide line marking the edge of the sea....I can hear the sounds of fish and creatures of the…

One thing about the summer solstice and can apply equally to the winter one....it is a time for endings and new beginnings.  The group of ladies I meet with on Wednesdays for a meditation circle, had a major energy clearing this week. I asked them to do the following exercise to help the higher self deal with, and rid itself of, old issues/feelings.

I gave them all 2 sheets of paper and a pen.  On one sheet, I asked them all the things they feel are currently negative for them -…

The thought manifests as the word;

The word

manifests as the deed;

The deed develops into habit;

And habit hardens

into character;

So watch the thought and its ways with care,

And let it

spring from love

Born out of concern for all beings…

As the shadow follows

the body,

As we think, so we become.…

Let the magic happen. It's always there. Abundance and love are always there.

Believe in the highest good. There is a higher essence to everything.

The realm you're in has a heaviness that mutes energy. You can penetrate through it, no matter how dark and heavy. Sometimes it has nothing to do with karma. Just don't forget to keep it open.

Don't get too bogged down, don't limit the brightness. Reach through the dark energy and grab it.

You might see the smoke…

There are enough broken fractured souls wandering....do not become another.

By healing yourself you learn to heal others.

To learn to truly look at who you are.

See yourself as others see you and not with your clouded damaged view, this is the way forward.

You need to let others see that love and let it shine so others see you, the real you. 

 And allow yourself the right to just be who you are.

You are beautiful and you are…

But seriously folks...

It's like The Go-Gos once said " You can't stop the world but it might stop you." And that's sort of my theme here. That is, continue to be who you set out to be but don't expect the world to be sympathetic to your plan. I had to create my own "native life" over the years as there is not…

She stood by the window

She sang out to the wind,

a breeze catching the notes.

"You cannot sing, you have all the words wrong" 

the woman told her.

"But I must, I have been told to.

It is not the words 

but the intention that counts".

"Who told you?" said the woman...

"My own voice said so.

And my voice belongs to all."

She stood by the open window

and sang the song 

she felt was the song to sing.

The snow fell and the wind…

Are you awake or asleep? 

Are you dreaming or visioning? 

If you see what you see...

is it all in your head or is it a vision of reality?

And is your reality the reality I see?



Many times I have heard/see/felt things and second guessed myself as to if it was imagination or real. This has occurred since I was a child and as a child, I was told it was imagination. As I am no longer a child, is what I am aware of still imagination?

Am I living in the illusion and…

I wander through the mists of time....glimpses of another life, another person. The mist lies as a gossamer covering over the land...time is all one here in this place...time and space come together.

The cool damp grass beneath my feet soothing and refreshing as memories stir of different places and lives beyond this one. My heart stirs in recognition of the ancient peoples I have been and known...danced with around thier cermonial fires...faces painted a myriad colours.

I see wives,…

Do you believe in magic?  What is your definition of magic?  A magician at a children’s party…a charlatan conning the people of the old Wild West with their potions and cure-alls?

Did you know it was possible to see REAL magic…to experience it in your everyday life?  Well, I’ll tell you a secret.  It is!

How do we find magic or experience it for ourselves?  It is very easy.  We close our eyes and use our imaginations.  That may sound very simplistic to you but…

Tip toes teetering on the edge of the Universe

Looking down into the chasm.

Her heart pounding, afraid.

Looking down into the blackness,

she shivered.

She looked inside to see 

where her fear was from.

Fear of the unknown?

Fear of being alone?

No, for it is in the great unknown,

in the great void, we see.

Clearly.

It is in the darkness we see Light.

I stand alone and I am unafraid.

 …

Sometimes we keep to the familiar, afraid to stray from the path.  We stick with people who think the same way and we feel comfortable with.  Then something happens to shake the ground under our feet, make us stumble and question ourselves. 

Do we take the path we have been on all this time and stick to what we know?  Or do we take a new path, unfamiliar territory and chance upon new acquaintances, new adventures?

It is easy to stay with what is safe and familiar, but does it…

She curls into a ball...bringing herself as small as she can....the blackness is searching, looking for her whereabouts. She tries to still her heart, her breathing. She tries to block out the sounds she hears...the shouting, the roaring. She closes her eyes....if she is small and quiet enough, if she thinks no more about the things she feels and sees and hears....they will not happen. Her heart is heavy and sad....she does not want to carry this load she has been given...her body aches and…
