I feel this so much, as you might have noticed, The times we are living in call for if nothing else awareness, democracy is crumbling ( if it ever existed at all) right before our eyes life, as we once knew it is slowly being striped away.

——
We must fight with everything we have, for those that cannot.
‘A spiritual life’ is not one of inaction and taking care of one’s own little piece of turf, defending your own peace at all costs.
It’s being of service. It’s rising up. It’s doing what’s needed for those that need it, when they need it, not when suits us. We meditate so we can get clarity, strength and energy so that we can then take that out into the world.
We don’t spiritually bypass being of service. We don’t say ‘I don’t want to engage in ANY negativity so I will ignore the world’. We don’t just sit on our fu***ng meditation cushions hoping it’ll all get better on it’s own. We don’t say ‘consciousness is one thing and it’s all meant to be happening’ and sit in inaction. If it’s all meant to be happening, make yourself a key in that happening, get off your arse and be a part of that change. Feel the feelings. Gather yourself. Do all your practices so you can truly move from the heart. But don’t bypass the anger. It’s okay to feel angry. Finding the balance between self care and service is complex. But that’s all the path. Don’t honor one without the other.
If you want to be ‘spiritual’ BE OF SERVICE as much as you can, help others, in every small and large way you can, every, single, day.

Between the Christmas period & work and long weekends away to visit my adorable new baby grandson 🙏🥰 I can't tell you how tricky it's been to finish up a couple of pieces. Life gets incredibly busy and things are ever-changing nevertheless I've taught myself to welcome these changes and take the time.

Few little things about me-

I've come to love my own company and that of family and a few friends (a bit of a loner actually ) I choose my tribe carefully has taught me well. 🦋

I LOVe yoga. Yoga & meditation saved my mind & soul, yoga brought me peace & forgiveness
In these last few years, I've come to truly love & appreciate life itself along with nature 🍃🐝 and our place in it as part of the oneness with nature, I'm more aware of its beauty its life force it's magic and I'm grateful for her stillness her harmony, yoga & meditation for me
is the contributing factor to slowing down and becoming more aware of our place on earth.

It’s fine to be angry. You have good reason to be. This government are attacking us from every angle and of course it is always the poorest and most vulnerable of us who are hit the hardest. We cannot afford to feel dejected, broken and defeated. We need to channel all that justifiable anger in the right direction. Get active in campaign groups and unions. Join us on the streets for nationwide protests on February 12th.

My Mid-century sideboard, a super piece of secondhand furniture and nothing wrong with that.
Finished at last! finding days I can paint are my happiest of days!
I decided to paint the piece in a colour like pale sand and then I decoupaged onto the cupboards.
Pretty cool I think.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🌳

Some days on my stories of late you may be aware of my angst! towards the despotic rule, I do feel so concerned sad & mad at the unholy mess that is going on around us! I would hope that I'm not offending folks. I do feel if we can all stand together united have compassion for our fellow humans and remember how much we all need and depend on each other.
I feel our lives are so precious a gift, in fact, meant to be lived at our fullest potential, to thrive to love and to just be. 🙏

Hopi Indian Chief White Eagle commented on the current situation:
“This moment humanity is experiencing can be seen as a door or a hole”. The decision to fall in the hole or walk through the door is up to you. If you consume the news 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous, with pessimism, you will fall into this hole, but if you take the opportunity to look at yourself, to rethink life and death, to take care of yourself and others, then you will walk through the portal.
Take care of your home, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual home. When you take care of yourself, you take care of everyone at the same time.
Do not underestimate the spiritual dimension of this crisis. Take the perspective of an eagle that sees everything from above with a broader view. There is a social question in this crisis, but also a spiritual question. The two go hand in hand.
Without the social dimension we fall into fanaticism. Without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and futility.
Are you ready to face this crisis? Grab your toolbox and use all the tools at your disposal.
Learn resistance from the example of Indian and African peoples: we have been and are exterminated, but we never stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and rejoicing.
Don’t feel guilty for feeling blessed in these troubled times. Being sad or angry doesn’t help at all. Resistance is resistance through joy!
You have the right to be strong and positive. And there’s no other way to do it than to maintain a beautiful, happy, bright posture. This has nothing to do with alienation (ignorance of the world). It’s a resistance strategy.
When we cross the threshold, we have a new worldview because we faced our fears and difficulties. This is all you can do now:
– Serenity in the storm
– Keep calm, pray everyday
– Make a habit of meeting the sacred every day.
– Show resistance through art, joy, trust and love.

People have the right to there own autonomy the right to ones own independence and freedom.
This situation of force is getting silly now and must stop.
We must not let the people become divided.

‘Love enables us to see things that cannot be seen without love. The eyes of compassion are also the eyes of understanding. Compassion is the sweet water that springs forth from the source of understanding. To practice looking deeply is the basic medicine for anger, hatred, and fear.’

- Thich Nhat Hanh, in ‘How to See’

Posted it’s a very lovely book ✨✨
Thank you✨✨

Hope is a thing with feathers - that perches in the soul - And sings the tune without words - and never stops - at all.

- Emily Dickinson

Women born into the patriarchy, it was difficult. We understand that to find their voice & to have the same freedoms as men, The women had to fight for those liberties but this woman ( and so many others) had so much to give and has given us SO much.

Remember the times in history when women weren't allowed a voice, unbelievable now, but now I hope we appreciate how hard the suffragette movement ✊🏻had to fight for women's freedoms & the right just to be able to contribute on their terms and to be able to make choices based on their interest and to have the freedom speak their minds.
We have come a long way, let's not forget or let it slip away.

HOPE...
What do you hope for?

The first day of November and I rose with the Northumberland sun, I took myself for a walk down to the sandy beach, my timing was just right as the sun came up to greet me there.

Incredible sun setting sky 🪐

“As we grow in our consciousness, there will be more compassion and more love, and then the barriers between people, between religions, between nations will begin to fall. “ - Ram Dass

We are pretty amazing you know, to go through much trama in life, to have to embrace our challenges that unfold & keep on unfolding before us, the beauty about this is... you get to discover so much about yourself, and the journey you're on, this is life! It can be rough & messy, But to come out of the other side, alive, brighter, braver and still smiling to feel happiness & love in your heart 💛to love and be grateful for the life you have I think that's what I'd call growth.
All is not lost, we can begin again. ✨✨✌️🏻
