From the Heart
Love like a child with wonder and amazement,
not with expectation, nor to make a statement.
Love with wild abandon, love without conditions,
not through any greed or of gaining acquisitions.
Love with a gentle kindness, hope and charity,
as love is a revelation, that many will not see.
Love with a simplicity, with honesty that is true.
with passion in happiness and passion when blue.
Love with a purity, with a gentleness that’s light.
Love with all you feel, love with all your might.
We are multi layered, multi faceted, strange and wonderful beings. Is it any wonder it takes us a lifetime to understand ourselves and the true purpose of our existence.

It’s a bit like clearing spiders webs,
when trying to clear my mind
With random thoughts suspended,
on trails I left behind
Venture through dark passages,
wade murky depths as well
To chase the monsters lurking there,
not a place to dwell
I’m searching for a crystal pool,
it’s so calm and very still
Casting to catch inspiration,
link intention and free will
Paint a picture in the font,
then bring it home with me
Splash it high on skies above,
so that I can’t help but see
My quest to sort my mind out,
might take me many years.
With a range of wild emotions,
glued together with my tears
I‘m going to walk in another dimension, one we cannot see
spend a while and think a bit, about who I’m supposed to be
I want to ask some questions, those too big to ask right here
I don’t believe in all I’m told, things aren’t how they appear
.
Our brains are wired as human, our reality, what we’re told
But surely these old fangled tales, are honestly quite old
I’ll take some time, not leap right in, I’ll listen carefully
Find my answer on what feels right, what is true to me.
.
I hope to share what I learn, with those that want to hear
I’m not promising I’ll be right, I’ll need to make this clear
I’m putting on my walking shoes, heading out the door
Dimensions I will travel now, but I’ll soon be back for sure.
My heart lies in my stomach, it is where I feel despair
Deep within my solar plexus, it is from there I care
I feel a pull to warn me, somethings changed inside
It drags me from my very core, a train I have to ride
Love lives deep within me, reminding me each day
Of happiness and sadness, like when he went away
Emotions that reside way down, rise and fall like tides
Crash against my inner walls, when sadness does arise
On joyous days it bubbles up, tickling and spilling out
A volcano erupts inside of me, of that there is no doubt
So knowing where my heart lies, gives me responsibility
To recognise the power of love and provide tranquility
Wondrous wishing well, lend me your heart,
The love that you share, I don’t know how to start.
Wondrous wishing well, show me your depth,
So I can find deepness, before my own death.
Wondrous wishing well, teach me charity,
So I can give kindly, without thinking of me.
Wondrous wishing well, how much will it cost.
To restore my souls brightness, before I am lost.
Sitting quietly in the garden, taking the beauty in.
A symphony of nature, captured peacefully within.
The dances of the butterflies, the sparrows on the bough.
A wonderful concerto, that’s how nature takes a bow.
……………
As we open and spread out, we can so easily become vulnerable to the influences of our surroundings. Find your best position and surround yourself with those that will provide love and allow growth

I’m not religious as such, well not signed up to any specific religion anyway. I’m eclectic in my beliefs and take what I like from different schools of thought, religions and ways of life. I belive in a higher power, something bigger than us, something at the moment, beyond my comprehension. I don’t think I necessarily need to know what is beyond, just that I am going in the right direction, doing my best and above all making my life worth while. In a way it’s right that it’s a mystery to us, because given all the answers we would act accordingly and maybe not be as true to ourselves.
If I could invent my own religion, pathway or walk of life as I prefer to say, it would be based on kindness and love. These qualities are the important aspects I take from other religions, love one another, send out kind thoughts and deeds and look after each other and the planet we live on. It wouldn’t demand worship as I don’t believe any god would demand worship apart from a recognition and love of the source of from where we come. Loving ourselves and each other is the key. Just think if everybody just loved, weapons would be put down, famine would cease and misery would disappear, it’s simple to me love is the only answer, it’s just taking us a long time to work this out.
Religion does fascinate me and I collect little bits and pieces I find along the way. I have a shelf of religious and spiritual artefacts, they are all mixed up and living nicely alongside one another. Wouldn’t it be nice if mankind could do the same?
I think there have been many great prophets throughout the ages, they have walked with us and tried to show us the way. I think there are some great prophets today, those that teach love and peace and I’m sure a few more to come.
I often go and sit in satsang enquiries, buddhist meditations, various church services, shamanism workshops, healing sessions and sign up for all sorts any energy workshops. I go because in these places I meet nice people and I like to surround myself with good people. Okay, I do meet some oddballs, like the fairy lady but she’s another story.
As much as all the above interests and fascinates me, I think we are our own best teachers. We need to experience our real selves, the knowing self inside of us before we can find out answers outside, so it’s important to sit with ourselves, give ourselves space and listen to what’s inside.
I feel we are all connected, that connection runs back to a source which is somehow connected to the universe around us. I joke about the universe providing, but on a serious note it has not let me down yet so I am trusting in it more and more.
I’m having the weirdest dreams and I’m finding them exhausting. I’m waking up like I’ve done a days work and I’m getting to the point that I’m dreading going to bed.
The night before last I was caring for a baby all night, it was a fitful sleep with me waking hourly, but each time I went back to sleep the baby was still there for me to look after. I felt I was sharing the bed and wanted to make sure the baby had enough room. He was tucked in the snug of my arm, well in my dream because of course the baby wasn’t really there. I felt such responsibility towards this little child, it’s crazy!
Last night my dreams were taken up with an older lady who was obviously confused as she said she was my mum. She wasn’t my mum, but she wasn’t taking any notice of this fact. It got so confusing I wondered if she was in fact my mum in disguise, however they were of a totally different race, mum white and blond, this lady dark with strong features and hair as black as coal. Anyway she wouldn’t go away, she told me she died in June and I should know this already, she kept talking about dates I should know too which were the 11th and 23rd June. Of course, I know my mum died in October and was very aware of this in my sleep, telling the woman she was wrong and I wasn’t her daughter. I suppose the dream could have been about separation and loss as I have been thinking a lot about mum lately, but she usually looks exactly like mum in my dreams.
These are just examples from the last couple of nights but it’s been happening for a while and it’s getting crazier and crazier. I know my maternal grandmother had visitors at night, people standing at the end of the bed who she told to go away. She would wave her arms and shout at them, she didn’t know them and didn’t want them around but they kept coming back. At the end of her life she started to recognise the visitors, her parents, siblings and husband.
I don’t want to consider my dreams are anything like my Nan’s as these visions happen when I’m asleep. I do believe in spirit and know my family are around me, but these dreams are different. I’m so tired and achy today, I’m going to try a different bed tonight and see if it makes any difference.
I just thought this blogging community might help me work out these dreams and put them to bed! Do any of you have such weird dreams? If so what have you done about it as I really just want a good nights sleep?
