To Be A Blessing

In my dreams

it looks like my garden

it looks green

it is lilac and cream.

We are sharing flowers,

plants, light and joy,

and are weaving

 our living Beings.

This micro-climate

prospers thriving and nourishment.

There is protection

from the winds and frost,

with high support inspiring me

continually.

I am breathing Divine love.

I am listening,

expanding, 

branching out, connecting

and I want

To Be A Blessing.

Aspiration

'To learn to talk with angels

is really a way

of learning how to talk with ourselves

and with each other

in new and profoundly deeper ways.'

Singing The Soul Back Home / Summer Seasons Greetings

It is time
it is time
to write the lines,
it is time
it is time
so just unwind,
and take up your pencil
and wait ‘til we fill
yourself with writings
to stream until
it is time
it is time
to write them all,
and type to your blog
and share over all
the web of the world
what we have to say
to share with the world
this bright summers day.

It is we who begin
to tell from unseen
the world above web,
the world that glimmers
and gleams,
and dragonflies fly,
and butterflies flit….
But into the air
sylphs dance on the pollen
and float into space,
and shimmer above
the whole human race.

But some of you know,
and some of you see,
the world of mundane
is not meant to be
the one that enraptures
the best life you will lead,
as the life of the Spirit
uplifts the whole creed.
And there you are now,
and there you will be,
until you ponder
more of this world
you may come to see.

So take a deep breath
and laugh with your heart,
and know that a beginning
is the best place to start.
Your heart will be lighter,
your soul it will sing,
and heaven above
will send rainbows to bring,
your sighs will transform
into dewdrops that rest
upon soft pink petals
that open like roses
do in the sun,
and bring deepest joy
to everyone.
So sigh away worries
and sing with your heart.

Butterfly kisses
are violet,
and golden,
and lighter than mist,
and when you lie-sleeping-
your-day’s-troubles-away,
we angels in spirit
do visit, or stay,
as long as you need us,
as long as it takes,
to lighten your life
and uplift your space.
To unburden your pains,
and surround you with love
the colour of roses,
the colour of sun,
the pink and the golden
the violet all one.
The aura of light
we bring to your heart,
the colour of life,
the new place to start.
 
So open your heart
and let in our love,
and no longer feel burdened
by thoughts day to day,
just rise in the mornings
and remember to play.
It’s laughter
and song,
and love shared with all,
it’s dancing
and clapping
and lightness explored.
 
It is time to release,
and time to expand,
and time to bring
our love through your hand,
we will keep
Beating our drum:
You always will hear,
and rhyming-rhymes
will come through so clear.
As you are our song,
you just need to let fly,
and take-off with joy
much higher than sky.

As life is unfolding
and roses do grow,
and we here in spirit
do surely just know,
that some of you see us,
and some of you hear,
and some just are sensitive
and feel we are near.
But all of the time,
in all of the ways,
we are beside you
as you go through your days.
And those who are grieving,
or lonely, or sad,
knowing we are present
and only too glad
to be remembered
to be in your hearts,
to be a shimmer
of light on the plants,
or stars in the sky
that twinkle down to
the darker times
that some folk go through.

So just remember,
to know there is more,
more to the seen world
for some to explore.
The world is higher,
and brighter by far,
when you look right out
to the shining stars,
and know we are closer
than ever you know,
and know we are closer
and sometimes we go,
but love to hear you
calling our names.
And bring over sunbeams
and rainbows so subtle,
you see them and then,
they are gone where they came from,
and it is only then,
you think how happy
you were just when,
the rainbow-bridge
was brightest then
it faded, and passed,
and a memory made,
to sustain the whole day,
and gladden us when,
we said to our friends
“I saw a rainbow today.”

I did true,
I remember your spirit
it passed months ago,
but memories linger,
go slow,
go slow.
Stay with me longer
and brighten my days,
in ways that happen
in miracle maze.
And treasures lie golden,
and sunbeams fly high,
and angels above us
in sky,
in sky.
So stay in your heart
let troubles subside,
stay in your heart,
that’s where happiness lies.
It’s hearts that are free
and spirits that soar
and do go deeper,
in ways to explore
what’s more to existence,
and most people think
it’s love that goes around,
it’s eyes that link
the heart to the soul.
And over the bridge
the rainbows light,
glistens in hues
that lighten our lives,
and come from above
to help us survive
the grief we feel
when loved ones pass,
and grief we feel
when we are last
to leave, and catch up
with those gone ahead…
But life is for living
not dreaden like lead.

So lift up your heart,
it is time to just sing,
and call on our spirits
to enter and bring,
lanterns that gladden, 
and breezes that lift,
and voices inside us
that tells us a gift
has been given to all,
who sit still and dwell,
the well deep inside us,
goes deeper within,
and heart-songs can rise
and lift us up high,
and angels do twinkle
like stars in the sky.
So never feel
you are alone by yourself,
just know that spirits
float close all the time,
and life can uplift
to feelings sublime.
There is never just one soul
alone on its own,
but voices are singing
your soul back home.
And voices are calling
words to help understand
there is not only one person.
one land,
but universe full
of souls young and bright,
and stars always twinkle
at night,
at night.
So sit still and hear us,
and sit still and feel,
there are always spirits,
we are real,
so real.
Really here to help you
uplift you,
and cheer,
and gladden your soul
as we start a New Year.
This year we will bring
our voices and call
over to you
to write all,
just scrawl.
Keep listening for wisdom,
keep feeling our light,
and knowing we’re with you
all day and dark night.

There are times you need us
to come closer still,
and know that we do that
your spaces to fill.
We know that some music
brings you tears,
and we know that
your Love was with you
for years,
but he is now over
this side with us,
and he in his wisdom
has learnt how to trust.
And you in your heart
know your purpose
is true,
so just let the grief
fall through,
go through….
And come up this New Year
with your spirits high
and know we will lift you
on wings to the sky.

So do take heart
and sing your song,
and do remember
all beings belong
to one light,
and one song,
and one universe bright,
that brings all your souls
in one spiritual realm,
to laugh
and dance
and bring yourself glee,
and remember to love,
and just be free.
Remember to share,
and trust one and all,
and live for the gladness
that twinkles so bright,
above you, all world over,
in every dark night.
So times are a changing
and you have these lines,
to share, and just know
that laughter lightens,
and heaven glows,
and angels listen,
as you sing,
and all are heartened
and here to bring
peace to those
who want to share,
all love with the world,
and mankind who care
to unite in love
unite in song,
and let us all know
we do belong
to spirits high
and spirits far,
and spirits fly,
as far as stars
and back again
whenever we call,
or hum, and sing,
and share love with all.
It is love that brings
us all to be one,
and love that warms
as bright as sun.
And love and trust
make the world go round,
and angels help us here
on earth
to lift our spirits,
in songs and mirth.

So let us all be ready now,
to believe in unseen worlds
somehow,
and know there is more
to this known world.
There is more to life,
than what we know,
and just you know,
if you don’t see,
there are always gnomes waving gleefully.

There is Bartholomew and Bill,
Johnno and Rodney,
Kelvin and Tommo
all coloured in paint,
but I know they
are not named like saints…
but Naomi is strange,
she carries a net,
and she ‘surfs the web’,
and better yet,
she does not take herself
seriously,
but believes in much
mysteriously.
Different they are than usual gnomes,
who have homes in gardens,
and homes in vans,
and homes in worlds,
and far off lands.
But home is where
the heart does sing,
and heart is where
our spirit lies,
and stars all twinkle
in the skies…….

The Ones With Me

This blog it comes
in rolling rhythms,
from mysterious streams
in time
in time.
I need to say
the gnomes with me
are more of those
that live in trees,
or soil, or mounds,
or compost heaps,
and not the ones
you see in streets
dressed up in
their rainbow best
with coloured hats
and painted vests.

The gnomes with me
are here to tell,
they beat the drum
and wind the well,
they come to say
they come to see
They do all wave gleefully.

Following

My greatest joy is following

my highest potential

Being Blue

As I sit with you

I understand

life it brings healing for

all those willing to explore,

to acknowledge others

to be present for listening

to be grateful for lessons

and teachers along the way

and ask for clarity in this day.

Openly,

patiently I call Love,

Stillness and Simplicity

to sit with me.

The Blue And Green

It is gentle and placid calling me.

It is open and tender calling me.

It is beautiful

peaceful

quiet and still

it will

always entice me

until

I pass myself to the other side

glide

up the golden stairs,

leave my cloak and rise up higher.

 

Skies they call me

blue it fills me

composes me

envelops me

softens me

brings me to rest

feeling blessed,

to knowing

deep within

the pond of Love is ever full

and I will travel long

until

I leave

to be received

by Spirit.

 

May the Beauty path always lead me

onward

yonder

over every hill

until

I rest.

May we all be blessed.

 

Love and Peace to All

Winter Calls to 'Keep The Faith'

This Peony bloomed in Spring

but

Winter-time last year

it was just a stalk

in the waterlogged soil

and 

keeping faith,

when the dark had passed

it's true bright beauty

shone at last

Looking Over

Old socks, colourful socks

amongst the chimes

breezing along

blowing horizontal when the winds are strong......

Release, let go

 we all belong.

I received this message as I slept

and the photo was taken on my garden on my iphone.

Surrender and B r e a t h e

Make a wish
to clear the tension and shame
to gently speak the truth
to reclaim
peace
understanding
lightness....

Put all those burdens down on the ground.
Do not collect baggage.
Let it be wheeled away. Quarantined
let it be seen by invisible helpers.
Looked upon.

We all need to do our work,
one day
one year
one lifetime or longer.

It is time to 'talk our walk'
through those dark places
to release the victims and yourself.
Make amends to bring the end.
Begin again.

Do your work
save the children
find the boy and forgive again.

Walk the way with lamp lights,
from posts along your path......

Perhaps you could learn to knit......

Or will I just 'choose once again'
where and when and then
kindly look at you and see anew.
