Today I really triedFor the first time in awhileAnd I now realiseHow easy and comfortable my stride has becomeHow quickly slip the words from my tongue“That’ll do”And out of that realisation grew a profound regret at how often I have snuffled my own potential.As effortless as blowing out a candle.I am suddenly very, very hungry […]
Still and stagnant water sits in a pond Open to the hot sun, it’s surface shrinks a little more every day It is dependent on the mercy of rain I wonder if consciousness is alive in its shallow depths? Still and brown Modelled in the shape of a brow, wrinkled in annoyance by the bugs […]
Why do we wish on dandelions Birthday candles Brief, delicate things that so easily disappear? Do we know then, that wishes are futile? Contretemps fought in the mind, outcomes turned over and over, like the forked breast bone of a chicken dragged away by ants But only after it has been pulled apart by the […]
We create busy We create it by following the thoughts in our heads. Like charismatic leaders they call to us and blindly, we run after them. Some are exciting, dramatic or inspiring.

We all wish we could nail down an outcome the way that we most prefer it would turn out. I don’t like surprises. I’m a planner by nature but life doesn’t care how uncomfortable a lack of predictability makes me. I wondered in yesterdays post, if perhaps this was what 2022 was teaching us. Don’t […]
Let my voice be a melody Reverberating with the energy of light Not hate Let my eyes be gentle, a reflection of my soul in control Not my ego Let my actions generate peace Let all toxins be rebuffed and may I only move With love *wouldn’t that be great, if we could all be […]
