The poetry of Life is all around us
everywhere we go
our personal Poet pens a plan of perfection

to read the prose of his composing
is to see a smile in an unexpected place-face
and return it
to hear the poem out loud is the song of a bird
on the wind which blows us on our merryweatherway-dance
to live the words of the Poet
to take stock of time
enjoy the rhyme
and reasons
become the focus of hearts entwined in brambles or rambles
of meaningless words
it's useless
unless we heard it write

angel card reading of today

Michael is offering a beautiful new beginning -
the wind of change is blowing in the direction of personal growth, leading to unity.
the card unity, shows yin and yang, she is followed by the angel of harmony, who is offering you guidance, - he holds a lamp to show you the way to peace.

Inside and out

You have found peace, so don't let go.
hold on tight to your dream.
there, abundance waits to offer her bounty of pleasure and treasure - only you know what you seek.
grow in peacefulness
inside and out
it starts within, but if you create chaos outside, you will lose the small peaceful voice in your heart...this must be guarded and guided by the universal energy.
god is destiny
fate is god
with you on the journey of life
wherever you go
you have peace, abundance and a chance for growth
gifts of the spirit of life - god

Too Many Masters...

To whom do you answer?
Is it enough to be your own boss in Life?
Do you respond to many or a few?
What do you tie yourself to - habits, people, possessions, work, play?
Too many masters is not useful.

Yet we all need guidance.
Choose your direction and choose the helpful bonds.
Change the form of unhelpful relationships, stand on your own feet.

Pear down on the whom and what you answer to...remember
....when the Student is ready the Master/Teacher will appear...with his help you may be master over the all.

Today

Yesterday is gone, today is ours
a hope for us to know what comes is good
It's good to be connected to the stars
the wind will bring our destiny
the sun will offer gifts
to brighten up today
And dream of a great future

Love Self....

Don't go looking to fill your heart in far off places
Don't seek solace in unknown faces
The Treasure of life is at your feet
The place you are now is where you are meant to be
Whatever you've lost
is buried inside
you are loved by those around you
even though you may hide your feelings of isolation
Open your heart and see with wide eyes
In the mirror there is no disguise
You are who you are
who you so want to be
Nothing is missing
There's always something more in store
for those who dig deep.

in love and light

Last Week - Dr Who

Synchronicity.......

Well, isn't life wonderful?!
I've been working hard on a painting for...about 3 weeks, feels like 3 months, I gave you a clue a while back.
Here it is....a work in progress....(- almost a metre wide )
which i usually wouldn't show here but....Hmm, half a Matt DR WHO Smith. Who was on tv tonight - I always stop to watch - and what?????

Here's a still of the 30th minute taken from iplayer....Hmmm, if you saw the program you'd see he is there, in his own eye, looking/showing back in Time........Time, Timing....it's all in the Timing, so they say, eh?

Well, am going now....to have another one of my turns, i think....i think, therefore am thinking. (What you think is what you get...) x cue the music x

Last night...

...the Storm raged overhead, crashing and flashing raw Energy across the dark, reddened sky. It came and went....and came back again....as i watched in amazement and wonder, drawing its spirit into my own.
Lightning pierced my heart and Soul through with its sudden magnificence, time and time again.
Thunder bellowed and rumbled, shaking the ground i stood upon.
My feet were bare; I got fairly soaked by an amount of rain i've never seen as heavy before.....i went to bed late - it was midnight.
....Thank you
It was awesome.
I loved it.

Are We Alchemists?

We have created the most beautiful, wierd and wonderful thing, and it's not a painting.
Yet, have we created or discovered?
Have we discovered and uncovered a secret?
We have manifest in this world, an impossibility.
A beautiful, wierd and wonderful opportunity.
But where now?
What now?
The quiet container of my heart is peaceful and needs no more....

Well it's all happening this week....

The lights swirled inside my head. A beautiful voice in the dark said; I've come to take you home;
I realised that I'd stopped breathing; literally, and then started again.
My heart beat faintly. Disorientated, i didn't know where home would be....
....and i still don't.
But am here, and it looks like Life is all the same.
Thank you to the Beautiful Voice.
Back to Work, then.

Let Love Be Your Energy

at One?

Does anyone ever sleep in the Universal Consciousness, because i'm getting rather weary and worn out up here, can i go home now?

I'll Be Back Soon - in love and friendship x

Ever wondered why Life seems to go in circles sometimes.....the same situation presenting itself again and again in different wrapping paper?

I believe that we are here, on Earth, to evolve our Being to our former Glory, and that we have chosen, in Spirit, our destiny.

Destiny is the path we take to fulfill our potential in Life.
We have the freedom to choose to do so or not, and we are capable of making mistakes which lead us off the path, temporarily or permanently.
But it will happen that once one recognises their destiny, it will seem so fantastic that no-one would want to choose otherwise.
The point is, Life presents us with the lessons we need, have chosen, in order to reach our destination....and if we fail to learn the first or second time, we will indeed find ourselves living a repeat until we do learn and move on ....with a new skill or new knowledge, new wisdom etc.

As in school, if we are called to repeat a lesson, odds on, we have previously made an error. Unlike school, we ourselves have to find out what and where that mistake was.....and then we have a choice, to go with what we know, in the safe and warmth of our erroneous comfort zone, or dare to choose to move on into the unknown.

Forget what you 'know', and know that the 'unknown' will soon become known.

Choice Moves

We all have the Freedom to choose.
When we come from a position of Love
we choose the best for All
but we are under no obligation to lose out ourselves.
Some of us have difficulty making decisions
but when you realise we are doing so all of the time
then it may become easier
each moment of each day presents choices;
most of which consist of the choice to act out of Love or not;
if someone does you wrong, you have a choice whether to retalliate or to keep your peace.
if someone asks your opinion you have a choice to point out the positive or the negative, honesty doesn't have to be brutal...

Our choices each day
lead to the 'reality' we perceive
we know that others see things in their own way
so do we
that is because we have a choice

the things that seem 'automatic' where there seems to be no choice
are actually chosen on a sub-conscious level by our Self.
and when we recognise such, we are then in a powerful position to say no to the sub-conscious and move into the conscious.
It's the sub-conscious who forms habits and it takes our conscious effort to break them....if we choose to do so.

If we choose to do so, then we awake from our former Self, and begin to really live life with renewed energy, more enthusiasm, and new ambitions.

Truly, to be in control of our behaviour, our emotions, and to make conscious choices rather than knee-jerk reactions, is always of benefit.

So, in order to make big decisions, we need to master the small choices, it's not so much weighing up the pro's and cons as it is engaging our full consciousness to the matter....without which we are 'missing something', and the choice seems impossible.

If in doubt, do nowt' - if the choice is a matter of your chosen destiny then it will come back and present itself to you again.

All In The Mind...Surrealism

The first vision/picture i painted in my adult life was in 1993
A friend had sent me a postcard from Glencoe, Scotland
and i decided to paint a random, ancient Scot.
In my mind's eye, i saw him, sword and all, at the foot of the mountains
and so i began to paint
i chose at random, an aesthetically pleasing red and black tartan for his clothing and fancied his name to be Conall Nae Fear
...The music i listened to was Highland Laddie
and scribble away i did, quite happily.

Soon after, i found myself in the homeland
where my father informed me that that tune was infact not Highland Laddie, but The Campbells Are Coming, you uneducated wretch!
Not my fault if they never sing the words...



So, I find myself in a library with a Name Origins book in my hand, researching someone's family crest...
Let's just see if 'Conall' is a real name then
Yes
it is
it means Strong As A Wolf and is the predecessor of Mac Donald
...whose battle dress, so the book will now tell me, was the same Red and Black tartan
which they wore
whilst being slaughtered in Glencoe
by the Campbells, don't you know!

Well, so much for random!
This uneducated wretch just freaked and destroyed the painting.....hadn't bargained for all that....not back then.....

Here's a pencil re-run of the original warrior, the first guardian/spirit guide i had.

Realisation

I know I said I do not bet on horses
but i just happened to be looking at the race-cards on Saturday
when i saw horse called
Special Portrait......
well, wouldn't you?

I did
He came home at 20-1
Thank you very much
That doubles my earnings this week
(Not many special portraits from the Studio just now)

The best thing was
The night before the race
I had a vision in which I met a white horse
whom 'someone' had seen in a vision before they met him

Wierd
yes
though i didn't remember the vision till after the race
which was won by the grey, Special Portrait.
Thank you

Message in a Bottle

Each time we project our thoughts to future or past
we are there, in Spirit and 'reality' shifts
Time is not linear in nature
it has no bounds
but our memories do
Deja vu
Here is a message
from your beautiful self to your beautiful self
and you can re-send any time you wish


At One

Look After YourSelf

We tend to spend more time looking after others than we do looking after ourselves - any parent will know that....
But in order to function well, we need to take care of number one also.

Everyday, setting aside some time for You, is not selfish, it is necessary, else who is the You looking out for others? It's a job half done if you are tired, fed up or put upon.

It's useful and good for your Soul; thinking of ways to make yourself happy for the moment, doing what makes you feel good, for a while; taking the 'ought', 'should' and 'have' to, out of the equation and just doing what feels right at the time....for you.

May your days be blessed and easy going...

In Two Places At Once.........

In Tune

Just as Musicians are Synchronised and In Tune with each other, mentally and physically, the Light-Worker is In Tune with the Energy and flow of the Universe....and in this Energy, all are connected, all Life is Sacred, all Beings are of worth and worthy of Healing.

To Enter into the Energy is to be in Harmony with the Universe, the flow of Life and our surroundings.

To Love from the Energy level is to Heal and be Healed.
To be healed on the Energy level is to be Whole, Free and Loved.

Some might call it Spirit/God/Godess
To me It remains Anonymous

Here's To You

What is Inspiration?

There's a wick in the heart
which feeds on passion and beauty
when the wick is ignited, by the flame of Love
it burns and gives off a toxic fume known as Inspiration

We inhale all it's heady perfume
and become posessed in our passion
we dream unbelievable dreams
and reach for unattainable goals
we reach a state of Inspiration induced Creativity

when in this state, we become high on life itself
and think only of our creating
other, mundane affairs sink slowly into the void outside
and we care not
they'll be there later
as we pick up the pieces around us
after we have reached our unattainable goals
and realised our impossible dreams
for that is what Inspiration is
the gateway to the impossible

May you be inspired today

Or something like that...........

well, ain't computers really smart!

2010 Grand National

Highlight of Easter, no offence Jesus, and i don't do chocolate eggs.....
'Wee Robbie' - non runner so....
2 quid on 'Backstage' - fell at the 20th
2 quid on 'State of Play' - came in 3rd...2 quid up
Cheers! to inspiration
I don't usually bet, but always on the National, it's in me blood...

life's a gamble
(or a gambol)

May you always win...x

The Cost of Living.


How much grass in a field,
plus how many trees in a wood
times a beach full of pebbles
- is the cost of a week-full of food!

Count the drops in a rain shower
then fathom the depth of the sea
add to the mass of a mountain
to work out the price of tea!

The value of things that are priceless
- that are worth their weight in gold
add up to a world of distortion, or extortion
where one pays just not to be cold.










Flavour of the Month.


What day is it today? Wednesday, wash day.
A pail full of rain goes a long way, I say.
First, brush my teeth,
then rinse my hair
and sort out the clothes too dirty to wear.
Give them a swill, a bit of soap too
- the water’s gone grey - but more I can do.

Take off my boots, for to wash my feet,
leave my socks on, they’ll soon dry in this heat.
What else needs a clean?
I ask of my bucket.
Does that dog smell disgusting, or what?
Ah ***k it! In you go, Conall,
stop splashing around.
You’re wasting the water
and soaking the ground.

- I’ve not finished yet - there’s more on my mind.
Potatoes, carrots, a bit of pork rind
and there you go -
I’ve got soup for my dinner!

Life on the road, eh?
Not bad, for a beginner.

what am i doing here exactly?

this is what i do when i'm not in the studio painting....
listen to Robbie
meditate
blog to myself
sometimes i write poetry
or something worth reading
but this is not one of those times
this is my weblog
....more to come
enjoy......x
