Ego and Soul


After our last women's circle, I am left in awe once again of the experience and of the company I am blessed with ..........the beautiful watery theme of our evening, the impeccably told story, the accompaniment of soulful songs and candlelight, creative exploration through silk painting and the shared sacredness of brave, beautiful women bearing their Inner Truths....together.


Without going into detail of the night's events, I would just like to honour one moment, one experience which stays with me still. It resonates with me. It holds significance to me. Gratitude fills my soul as I allow one of our beloved women's sharing to penetrate my human Being. I'd like to share with you my reflection...


The ego depicted...
striking painted lines of direction
like driven arrows,
ascending way up,
as high as a mountain.

Reminding me
of all my little struggles.
How tired I am !
of climbing
the ladder towards perfection.

Can I for a moment
find a new perspective?
Allow the warmth,
the sun of my soul
to shine on me
....wherever I am?

Bright Red


There are red things popping up
in our back yard paradise

Little dry needle felted toadstools
spotted with snowy whites

There are pom pom blooms to tickle
under giggly little chins


And winged friends feeding over yonder
that flap into flurries and spins.


And one little flutterby girl not red, but colourful too

Dancing round the fairy ring, just cos it's fun to do!

Dreams and Real Life
I love a simple life, close to the sea
I love pyjama days, just you and me
I love the sweet smell of blossoms on the breeze
I love a gently warming vanilla rooiboos tea
I love angellic whisperings, leading me to dream
I love creative urgings unleashed onto paper or screen
I love my little one's face all filled with joy and glee
Oh so many things to love in this life of dreams and reality.
