a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

a feeling of helplessness


here I am sitting in my lovely little home with my fairly lovely little life - watching the horror that is war on my television. Mothers grieving for their children, husbands who have lost their wives - on & on it goes. I have not on idea of what this war is about, who is 'right' or who is 'wrong' - it doesn't really matter. To me what matters is that innocent lives are being lost. I feel helpless as to what I can do, sitting down here in Australia - a long way, away. Maybe light a candle each day in hope that the little light will shine out
or do what Sandy from art tea life did,
sit out on my courtyard and meditate.
I played last night and did a quick collage thingie - still needs tweaking on the hat though.
I was sent this great meditation this morning - a meditation for peace in the middle east:

Take several deep breaths, relaxing deeper and deeper with each breath.
Imagine a giant flock of white doves flying over the frontline.
See the beauty and grace of these birds.
Imagine these birds radiating beautiful, peaceful. harmonzing pure white light to both sides of frontline.
Imagine the light equally illuminating both sides of frontline without judgement of whose fault it is. who is right and who is wrong.
Unconditional divine love and forgiveness shall be equally spread to both sides of frontline.
bringing peace and tranquility.

after I finish my housekeeping this morning, I am going to pick a bunch of white flowers, light a candle and do this meditation.

it all has to help - if everyone did something, surely the angels will grab every prayer & good thought and send it where it is needed. surely?

I agree with you. I think about our cozy lives, surrounded by the people and things we love and our tiny worries and big dreams.
While over there, they can only think about their big worries and their tiny dreams of peace from all this horror.
It doesn`t seem fair does it? This world is so damn damn damn imbalanced!!
A really beautiful meditation and ceremony you`ve written.
Sorry....I had to delete my first post because Angus walked across my keyboard and I never realized he`d added some extra letters before I posted! lol

I will stand with you Robyn -- in spirit -- and wish for peace also. I'll find a white candle and light it too. xo

Well I think we are all more or less helpless in this case and yes it makes me very sad too! Peace&Love!

Amen, my friend. Every little bit of positive energy and light has to help. Your collage is beautiful and the poignance of using a child's face with the message isn't lost on the reader. Heaven help us all in these dark days.

We can never lose hope that one day there will be world peace...hard to imagine right now with all the wars going on and all the innocent people getting hurt or killed but HOPE will always burn brightly!
