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.

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.

sit and take tea

I just returned home from my little day out - and have been reading a few blogs, as I do. This latest 'war' in Lebanon has got alot of us upset, stressed and emotional. Me included. I feel helpless and I feel like I have no control. And I guess I don't. But that doesn't mean that I need to feel out of control with it. For me, I need to take a little time, close my eyes and pray. I need to ask my God, to send the angels, to wherever help is needed and to know in my heart that He will hear. Whenever there was a drama in our family, my nan would race to the stove and put the kettle on and make a pot of tea - a 'cuppa' fixed everything she said. I need to sit with my family and share tea and know that this cup of tea will fix the ache in my heart. That this cup of tea will help me realize that I am ok and know that I am . I need to send love from my heart to those affected by war wherever they are. I need to know that this is all I can do, I can do no more and that, is ok. I need to know that you gals who are my blogging friends are here holding my hand. We are all hurting. Like I said on Tara's blog - am I so naive or childish to wish that the world can live in peace?

Well said! I am just amazed at a comment left on my blog which suggests that terrorism kills more innocents and we must defend against terrorism. Has the person never read of all the innocent children and families that are killed in war bombings. All we want is a ceasefire, but I am very much afraid England will not lead the way. Love and Hugs xx

You know, I think this very same thing about myself several times a day.

I don't understand it, war, and it is so very upsetting. I'm one of those that doesn't watch the news too much. (Mainly because when I do I get so worried about my dear husband that I can't stop watching or crying.) But I do try to keep up with it here and there through headlines.

I agree with you. All we can do is pray. I pray for all those in harms way and for all of their families. I pray for our leaders to make good decisions, I pray for God to talk to all the leaders of the world and to convince them that we CAN all live together in peace and that what he truly wants is for all of us to love one another, not kill one another.

I'm sure that is childish and naive but it's all I can do.

I truly believe that just staying focused on peace, and putting out that energy, makes a difference.

Yet another beautiful piece :)
History is constantly repeating itself. Just different faces. Man just doesn`t seem to learn.
It sure is a helpless feeling and I agree with all the other posters here. Positive energy and prayers, even if they don`t always get answered for some reason or other, can`t hurt.

tea

my heart aches for all humans who must die for the sake of...."what"? this war, any war is to me so senseless. there is such division, there is evil, yet there is unity, there are angels....we must continue to pray and nurture.

If we all could be a little more naive, perhaps there would be more peace in the world. I'll definately hold your hand as we cry in our cuppa. xoxo

It certainly is a very frightening world we live in, never knowing if someone will start a war on us or others. I hate wars, I hate what it does to people, I hate how many innocents are killed or hurt, I hate everything about it...but, like some others have said, a lot of those countries have never known anything but wars and fighting. Will there ever be world peace? I can't answer that but there is always hope in our hearts! Holding your hand Ms*R xoxox

Amen, my friend! Amazing how a good cup of tea can help calm the mind, particularly in these stressful, horrible times. Thanks for the nod to my blog and for being such a wonderful, compassionate person who really cares about the world! xo

Being childish or naive has nothing to do with wishing for PEACE.

It is rather just the opposite.

Mature and Wise.

I hurt too.
And yes, I belive a "cuppa" makes things more bearable.
