‘Get A Grip’
…on yourself, on reality, just…get…a …grip…
‘Weave A Web’
Weave a web; a grand design.
You create it from your very being; you can find your way along the threads.
And what you want to attract will come into it.
Weave away, then.
‘Softness’
…how exactly does one be softer, without going completely soft? – that’s what I’d like to know – i really like it that roses can be all billowy and still thorny at the same time…
‘What I Wish For’
…light, growth, serenity…
‘Alone, Not Lonely’
...some things should not be confused for each other…
‘5 Knots’
…take it easy; know your limits; don’t get all tied up…
‘Stand Tall’
On my recent road trip up north, I passed through the magnificent Waipoua Forest.
Kauri trees are the great trees of Aotearoa/New Zealand, and the forest contains the largest specimens of them.
To look up the straight trunks into the leafy canopy is to be simply awe struck.
Truly inspirational!
I often find myself “crouching down”, in a metaphysical sense at least, rather than “standing tall”. Lacking self-confidence; doubting myself; the sort of shit that plagues many of us, I suspect.
If I have any resolution for the New Year it is to be like the kauri trees pictured – tall in spirit, standing proud.
‘Blue And Louvred’
…for the down and shuttered times that come, and must also pass…
‘Get Put In Your Place, Die There’
‘Dig Me Up, Plant Me Out’
…growth, where there was none…
‘Within Your Grasp’
…you may feel you are clutching at thin air at times – keep reaching – you are within touching distance of what you want and where you need to be…
‘Whirl Of Pain’
This is for those trapped in a whirl of pain; the razor wire of your personal hell encircling you.
You don’t need to be told what pain feels like.
But you have to believe there is some good in you, and the world, and that you will find it somehow.
Just in the same way that there is light and sky through the wire in the photo,”beyond” awaits…
‘Garden Sharpened’
…I came to the garden for peace and softness – there was none to be found…
‘Come Summer I Will Be Verdant’
‘I Looked Up’
