Majestic creatures, guarding secrets, looking down on mere mortals, honest to the core.
Their houses magical dens, fortresses to protect, cosy time warps, separate from compromises, from conventions.To the sun each individual confidently stretches, to pluck the energy it craves, reaching deep into the earth with crooked fingers, to grasp earthly nourishment with elegant force.Generous bestowers of gifts to passers by as the servants of the Goddess, most glorious of all the breath of life.Equality rules despite such a multitude of variety, simply yet powerfully they entrust their own unique magick:A weeping willow’s graceful, drooping frame infuses with tranquility;A tiny acer, at the beginning of its journey, whispers such possibilities gently into welcoming ears;A mighty oak inspires with staying power, the wisdom of the years it has survived evident in every crease of bark;A wispy silver birch immediately cheering with its wiry beauty. Survivors, often in the face of adversity, braving the seasons in turn with ancient cycles,From stark wooden structures they transform into bouquets of dazzling pure colour, as intricate artists they paint each landscape into an original.Observers of the constantly changing environment, silent witnesses of history in the making, Each spirit a part of an unfathomably vast story.
Listen.
“When the details become too much, step back, think of me. Visit me, breathe my air deeply. What do I see? What do I hear? What do I say?”
On a rather stormy and challenging day this week I found this award waiting for me, given by a most inspiring writer/artist/all round fantastic blogger friend Lis. Thank you so much Lis, for this award means a lot to me, I feel touched and honored that you judge my website to be beautiful, I have a huge respect for everything you write and create on your blog; you are a wise and wonderful lady :)
As I sat drinking a soothing cup of tea I began to doodle, once finished the Noel Coward quote immediately sprung to mind; my sentiment exactly!
Just a quick post to blog this simple watercolour as I'm quite proud of it; I do believe it captures the spirit of my lovely pusses perfectly.
This is my final piece of artwork for the mind/body/spirit course 'Radiant Goddess' created by the lovely goddesses Leonie and Sone. The last three weeks have been a rollercoaster ride of new experiences, leaving me feeling so much more alive, both inside and out. With a mixture of a raw food approach to eating, making movement fun and nourishing the spirit through creativity, this course has been amazing and I am very sorry indeed that today is the last day. I have learned so many tools to keep in my medicine bag so that I may continue my radiance :) If you want to find out more just click on the Goddess Guidebook link on the left of this post.
