Earth Medicine

When sunlight permeates rainforest winterand blackbirds ascend from violet bark,soft clouds drift into ancient dragonflies moving like wind across the sky.
On those rare dayswhen the blue in the raven’s wingsshines in the light,go through the open doors.

Candlelit Dreaming with Artwork by Wendy Bullen Stephenson

Hold that sweet engagement with dreamlandthe way the stars, the moon, the clouds and quiet     experience each moment… surrender to what you choose

Contours of Autumn

All the songs come homeA newness of strengthTo live in my body as an adult

Touching Eternity

go deeplyto that place beyond selfbeyond earth walks and timewhere all colour resides

Sunflowers

Thousands of seeds,food and beauty,the ever-changing waystems bend in the lighta reminder of the magnificenceof life and grace –not only are they alive,but the planet nourishes themwith sunlight and rain.

Wild Flowers

at peace in the finite natureof this one lifethe simplicity of itmy ashes among wild flowers

Spring Blossoms

Sunlight and slower daysthe way it’s possible to love againa groundedness in homelike the stars there every night waiting on the moon. 

Dreaming with Tulips

From a bulb inside earth’s womb
roots penetrate the soil –
luminous through snowcandescent colours overflow the boundaries of time.

Tulips vibrantly answer the call –stems grow beyond the edges of vases,curve like rivers,   forge in new directions and define for themselveswho they are.
Unafraid of transition,tulips allow the flow of life to turn their insides into buttercup yellow elixirfalling on fairies like a gentle halo –Ophelia’s spiritrisen.
