Out The Door......

Out the door before the sun was even up and I was greeted by a beautiful vista of the moon still high in the sky was a pleasant and invigorating way to begin my Sunday.

The earth was silent except for the occasional trilling of a Boobook somewhere close by in one of the trees. 

My morning walks are always thoroughly enjoyed as I adore being up and outside before the rest of the world wakes up. I love the quiet of the predawn when there is a deep soothing stillness to everything. This morning I was in awe of the moon, the clouds, the gentle light that was shifting and changing as the sun began to rise in the east. 

As I ambled along birds began to wake, singing greeting a new day. The wind was gusty at one point and as my hair flew around my face and as the breeze tickled the bare skin on my arms I felt deeply connected to the elements around me. 

I felt seen and supported by my Earthly Mother, a sense of acknowledgement wrapped itself around me, that she knows I walk the earth vastly different to most, connected to her my beloved Gaia. She knows that I see the magic that is bestowed upon me daily as I look for the incredible each and every day. 

Maybe it is a spider that stops me to pause awhile, or maybe it is the colour of the ocean, or a smile on a dogs face. The simple natural moments offer far more for me than anything else.

 Not distracted by the wants and needs of the human society that surrounds me, but rather dedicated to enriching my life through nature, this morning was a gift as is each morning. 

Grateful for the simple life I lead. 

Grateful for finding my way to this little piece of land that I have been able to nurture and bring to life. 

Grateful for waking another day.

Grateful that I have so much abundance in my life in the wildlife that visits the cottage.

Grateful for being here now......

 

Finally........

Finally I found my way to the ocean and the first swim of the year. My once twice daily meanders along the shoreline stopped when I moved away from the coast nearly eight years ago.

In the four elements once again earth, air, fire and water after so long. 

Running into the refreshing water and diving straight under a breaking wave I felt the powerful cleansing energy of the salty water immediately carry away the lingering residue of what no longer serves me. Floating in the water, sun beaming down I felt so alive and held by the unseen presence of my Divine Mother. Content to just be in the water, bobbing and drifting so much peace within my soul.

 Around me the world carried on.

The serenity found within the water uplifted me soothing and caressing my entire being. I felt revived. Somehow I had lost my way to the ocean, perhaps telling myself that the drive was too long, however sitting here watching the scenes unfolding around me I realised that putting things off until tomorrow or another day is not how we should live. 

Because we never truly know if tomorrow will ever come......

A Beautiful.....

A beautiful spider spinning her web.

Fascinated I paused to watch her, nature has so much on offer to see each and every day, all we have to do is to stop and to look because then we truly see......

 

Some People....

Some people don't understand why I prefer the company of animals and nature to that of humans.

Well, just one look at this smiling little face should give you an idea. 

Animals can read a person by the energy they give off and as I find animals always love to see me when I arrive, they see and feel the true essence of who I am.

They give without expectations and don't manipulate nor demand as humans often do. 

They love without expectations and live in the moment. 

I know that each being is a treasure, regardless of species. 

When I encounter such a precious being as this little one then time is taken to give as much love as possible and to just be and enjoy the time spent with him, because each interaction is unique and special and should never be taken for granted........

 

A Little Visitor....

A little visitor for lunch.......

 

Relaxing And.....

Relaxing and enjoying the garden after a hot and exhausting day. 

The front garden was flooded with soft afternoon sunlight, and one particular grevillea bloom caught my eye. They are such unusual and striking flowers. The stream of rainbow light showering it was beautiful. 

In the back garden garden other blooms were adding beauty to the garden, and I noticed that the back garden has bushed out so much this summer that soon the cottage won't be visible from the back garden at all.

Always serene.

Always something to see in the ever changing loveliness of my tiny piece of Gaia........

 

Another Arty Day.....

Another arty day in Fremantle followed by a coffee in a quirky cafe.

There was a time when I was often found checking out funky art galleries. With visiting two exhibitions in a week I feel I may just be finding my way to viewing more interesting and alternative art exhibitions in the future......
