  • Stuck at low tide …

    I’ve been in a capsule of time Stuck at low tide A special period, Special to me My marriage Ended abruptly Held in time To write my story Locked in events Long since past. Yesterday Something happened to me To jolt me back to reality. I realized Things have changed The world has changed People’s […]

  • Harvest Mood Meditation …

    Last night I sat beneath The large, full, harvest moon Under a clear and cloudless sky With the moon’s light Shining down on me Gently, yet purposefully. Held by the land Held by the moon And held by the Group I was with, To meditate and contemplate And give thanks for all achievements, To accept […]

  • Wait and reflect … change is always coming

    One question I have for you Oh Universe, so powerful How is it I’m not feeling Ecstatic, free, sublimely happy Because the book is finished? I drew The Oracle card This morning Advising me to wait and see A period of Reflection Is signalled for me. Wise counsel I am sure As I am prone, […]

  • Support with party planning …

    It’s true to say Yesterday I was feeling unsupported. Party planning Can be trying And although I want it so And know that it must happen, Deciding this, Deciding that, Alone With no one else Began to feel Solitary, Dare I say it Lonely! The universe stepped in And in my meditation Two strong arms […]

  • Four o’clock on Watergate …

    Four o’clock on Watergate And the tide’s nearly up. Noises all around: Children squealing, laughing, boarding Waves crashing, bubbling, frothing Rolling into shore Roaring loud and strong. Dogs barking, jumping Running, fetching Walking to the lead. Wet suited surfers Running by Fit, slim, athletic. Stretching at the edge Attaching leashes Walking to the surf. Then, […]

  • Follow your passion She-Wolf …

    Follow your passion she-wolf Unfettered, free, unrestrained Live your life on your terms Follow your dream Don’t listen to others Who may wish to hold you back; Afraid of the future Afraid of your talents Those invisible qualities Not everyone understands. Run, run, run from the pack Be you Cast off the clothing The fetters, […]

  • Knobbly, knarly seal rock …

    Knobbly, gnarly seal rock I can see you in the distance Stoic, still ever present Watching, waiting, there. From here I can’t see The hundreds of muscle- Shells attached to thee Waiting, watching, there Closed for now, Sleeping, dormant, Waiting for the sea To bring crustaceans And A veritable delicious Medley Of sea fry for […]

  • Is my mind or my body the culprit?

    A bad stomach I’ve had With pain and bloating So uncomfortable It’s pulled me down. I looked for the reasons Is it something I ate? Or more likely Something I’m thinking. I’ve overdone it again Conveniently forgetting My energy levels Are limiting. I get carried away Book this in and that And before I know […]
