THOUGHTS FROM AN AIRPORT......!!!

DO YOU/OR DO YOU NOT?

Do you keep getting looks
that turn to smiles?
Or do you look at your feet
or floor tiles?
Do you give that energy, in turn
making you warm?
Or do you feel like standing in the
wind, cold, forlorn?
Do you give your last penny to
someone in need?
Or do you count every one is your
last name greed?
All it does take is a smile a hug and
to give that penny.
BUT please do not stop at the one
GIVE MANY.


Stairway of Life.

Counting the steps all the way to the top
of the landing.

Where every one takes you to where you
are will be standing.

Each step has its own perilous tread that
may trip as you go.

So climb the stair with surefooted steps
and take it slow.



LOOKING AT THE MENU.


Looking at the menu, from breaky to dinner.

Making a choice, mmmh wanna be thiner?

Cant eat that, it will have way to much calories.

But go on you love it, that little voice says.

Why really worry , it is what you really desire.

Order it now, who cares about a wee spare Tyre.



This year traveling.

Spending a year around the world
with and endless Summer.

Its time to go home, to the cold & snow
but its no bummer.

Life changing experiences, they came
night and day.

Working, from building stages to spreading
tonnes of hay.

Tasting all different beers, some home made
strange brews.

From sleeping in a hundred beds, to kipping on
the beach too.

Getting tattooed, in posh parlors and in ancient
ritual style.

What a journey it has been, I THANK you all
You all made me SMILE.

WOOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOO YOU!!!!!!!!

movin on closer to HOME WHERE THINE HEAR IS.

It's time now for me to move on. My "sac magique" all packed and gettin picked up from here in Batchelor at 2 30, then its on to Darwin then Sydney, Honolulu and Los Angeles.

The time here has flown by and every second of that time been an experience and filled with them.
Teachings beyond my belief, teaching others, being taught and on and on.........With these experiences that have been carved into my own being my own heart, again, life changing. Many people have come and went, each an individual with their stiries to tell, their experiences, and teachings, all unique, individual and yet most have the same foundations..........happiness love and peace, albeit with sadness thrown in for the balance too.

WE ALL ARE UNIQUE, WE ALL HAVE OUR EXPERIENCES EVERY DAY, SOME LIFE CHANGING , AND SOME LIFE GIVING AND TAKING LIFE AWAY.......YET EVERY EXPERIENCE IS MEANT TO WORK IN THE WAY IT DID...ALL FOR REASONS THAT, USUALLY, SHOULD NOT BE ANALYSED OR DWELLED ON.

Funerals that the people cry with Joy for the transition of the soul, People dedicated to making ours and yours and our children's children world a better place to live. This is not Rocket science...Its how we are its what we have always strive however today's society, media etc makes this process a very deluded way to think such thoughts..."who cares?, all i want is a new whatever, to spend more money to have more money, live to work, not work to live etc etc...the question i asked on so many occasions on so many times alone in desert, the ocean where ever, is WHY??? Is there an answer??? off course there is, every question you ask you have the answer is there, it always has been.....YOU KNOW THE ANSWER...DO NOT IGNORE IT! I remeber having a wee talk with my Ex Wife and how at that time she said self was so SELFISH in going away....at that time we were both sorting out our differences etc of the divorce we were going through etc and it was a right old mean up and down time it was. Some days self worried and worried, kids involved and on and on and i know some of you out there have been and perhaps are going through the same huh? SO yeah Selfish she said.....i thought about this many times, "am i that selfish? up and going away fro a while, albeit still providing for my children whilst i am on this Journey, and what will become of me on this Journey, will i come back ? will my children forget me, will they be angry with me" With these question the answers were.......Is self selfish ? Well, we all have to do things for ourselves, if this means having to do what self has done so be it, albeit in doing what i had done i made sure that my children understood why Daddy was going away, i.e for self to learn about the world people and in that about who i am. The love for them both would be there every sun rise and every sun set, it is so so strong and that they will always be by my side, and that i will be coming home for the BIGGEST HUGS EVER EVER KNOW TO MAN. (smiles) . I have heard from them both on many occassion, and in those every occassion made my LOVE STRONGER AND STRONGER............also making me smile from ear to ear for weeks. Yeh.....there is a HUGE AMOUNT OF difference from being SELFISH and doing FOR SELF..................... IN THE PROCESS OF DOING FOR SELF DO NOT HARM ANY ONE OR ANYTHING EITHER PHYSICALLY OR VERBALLY OR BY THOUGHT..."THE BEAUTY WAY"...................FORGIVE ALWAYS. shoot i lost my trait of thought there however you catch my drift, better to sit and talk always...PROPERLY TALK, LAUGH, CRY AND LET IT GO. YOU ARE, WE ARE ALL BORN WITH FREEWILL....THE CHOICE IS YOURS......I AM HAPPY, VERY HAPPY, AND YOU ARE TO. My friend Brian from Stonehaven had the best Moto..the 3 "L"s LIVE LOVE AND LAUGH. WOO HOO YOU!!!!!!

In HAWAII I was sitting speaking to this older guy one night. We were having a beer and Discussing such topics as to why what where and how etc. The guy Lee came out with most profound statement self has ever heard, it hit me so hard, and it will stay with me for the rest of my Life. It went something like this. " YOU KNOW ALL THE GUYS ON TOP OF MOUNTAINS THE LONE MONKS, THE GUYS IN CAVES THE SADUS, THE DUDES OUT THERE WALKING THIS EARTH WITH NOTHING , NO CLOTHES ETC ETC THE SADUS, AND THERE ARE 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF THESE GUYS MAN, THERE CONSCIOUSNESS IS SO SO POWER FULL THAT THEY ARE BASICALLY HOLDING THE WORLD TOGETHER FOR US ALL..........EVERY DAY MAN, AND IF THEY WERE ALL TO STOP, WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE LIKE THEN ??????? WOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! AND ITS TRUE. THINK ABOUT IT HUH..........THE POWER OF THOUGHT AGAIN.

Here is my final words which self had been given as self sat there on top of Borobudur alone for that hour that day. Thank you all so so so much...keep it real, keep smiling, keep that beautiful heart thinking, give and take, and make ALL GOOD IN YOUR HOOD. Namaste ...xxx



My Mother Muriel and Father Sandy, for giving me that seed in side, the seed of self.

My sister Rachael, whom now has her own seeds and is truly a gardener from heaven itself.

To Caroline whom had seen the seed in self and has never stopped giving it love, and hope.

Ian, Jason, and Graeme, thank you all so so much for the first watering of that seed in self.

Michelle, Claudia and Gail for the tending of the now growing seed, which you made flower.

To Sue Tony and David whom gave the seed the strength to flourish and spread.

To Chris and Laura who's Butterfly's have pollinated the flowering seed.

AND TO MY CHILDREN, JACK AND ABIGAIL, WHOM MAKE THE SEED STRONG, RESILIENT, MAKING it SPREAD INTO THAT BILLOWING FIELD THAT GENTLY IS CARESSED AND KISSED BY THE WIND, TURNING GOLD IN THE HEAT OF THE SUN.

Reap what YOU SOW.

Aho xxx

Nothing is permanent.
Tomorrow the caravan moves
on.
The wheels turn.
The flowers bloom and die.
The good we do in bad times is a
seed planted for others to harvest.
Evil is a dark hole in creation, where good
may have flourished.
Where it may take root again one starlit
night.
When the wounded world murmurs in a healing
sleep.

BOROBUDUR......THE TEMPLE OF THE BHUDDA...THE TEMPLE OF COMPLETE CONCIOUSNESS.

Onward we went from Prambanan to the hotel self was to be staying in.

Driver and i arrived at the hotel later in the afternoon, the weather just began to break and the rain came, however it was still very warm , muggy and sticky.

The hotel was set basically right at the foot of the temple / shrine.

Checked in and the staff were very very pleasant and smiled constantly, making it as always here in Indonesia a pleasure to be here.

My room, was small-ish but spotlessly clean and with what self had previously stated, clean white sheets and a T V with remote control, which for a small time i found very very entertaining, what with flicking every channel back and forth for ten minutes or so, then realised that all was same on the Set when last watched it, so switched it off.

I decided to head up to Borobudur, once the rain had subsided and also to catch it before it shut at 6pm.

So, Head off to the temple through the hotel grounds and up the path towards the East side of the Temple.

As with Pramabangan, the scale of the structure is immense, it really is. Tiers and tiers of intricately laid masonry all perfectly built and Architecturally a masterpiece, albeit they did make a mistake which took me a while to connect with but however did and will explain later.

Borobudur was built in the 7Th and 8Th century's and was built as sacred Buddhist edifice.

Its actual shape is not that of an actual temple but pf a stupa, constructed on top of a storied shrine. Standing at 42m high and a footing area of 14,165 mts sq........BIG! Built with an estimated 2 MILLION blocks of Andesite or Volcanic rock. An astonishing Weight of, Approx off course, of 3 million 600,000 tons.....HEAVY AND BIG!

Your heart thumps and your breath virtually is taken from you, its not until you start to get closer to the temple / shrine that you appreciate the intricacy and the detailing, the perfect geometry and Architecture, of the masonry work and the masons that built it.

The Temple has 3 important purposes:- A holy symbol of Buddhism. A monument for the veneration and remembrance of the Lord Buddha. A place to keep the relics of the consecrated legacy of the Lord Buddha, Arhat, a foremost Monk.

Self walked slowly and slowly around the foot of the temple, never once looking down top see where one tread, just head up and gazing in awe at the Purest and Gentlest form, especially;y on such a grand scale, that self has ever witnessed. EVERY WHERE YOU GAZE, there is a beautifully carved piece of Masonry let alone the Buddhas, again all carved in stone which line every terrace, Sit Peacefully at every corner at every turn.

However there is one part of the temple that took self by a bit of surprise ? One of the corners has been removed, this is to show the ORIGINAL footing / Base, which was adorned with wonderfully carved in Bias relief, Volcanic stone, these panels skirted all around the hole perimeter. Self looked and looked, stepped back and forth lay on ground and nearly on head and asked and asked self and spirit why? You see, there is NO explanation as to why the Original foot was so intricately done with a Huge OGEE , ashlar faced stone and with all these intricate carved panels, all now hidden bar this recently removed corner as to show the original. The addition of this terrace come Foot, was built as the Temple was still being constructed, SO SELF HAS CAME UP WITH THE CONCLUSION that, with the scale of the Final Temple, the Original Footing would have looked totally out of scale huh.............it Would have looked just not to scale at all.... NOT at all right.....in Architectural terms TOP HEAVY. I think that once they built the footing and the first level the Architect must have realised that this was going to be on a monumental scale and then decided to add to the original base as to keep it in proportion, with the scale of what was going to be ONE OF the most awesome temples ever built. WHAT VISION, WHAT INSTRUCTION , WHAT INTENTION. Aho.

After walking around several times, self decided to head up the East side and enter the the Shrine. The walk was pretty steep, and much people lined the steps on either side making it a a slow pace, however the Scorching heat gad subsided due to a wee outburst of rain that had happened on way to hotel, however the humidity had gone up several percent making it a bit shticky man.
As you arrive on the first plateau, you are immediately hit by the intricacy of the carvings which cover nearly every part of both sides of the walls that encircle EVERY TERRACE. Each panel tells the story of the Buddha, from birth, and all the stages to and for to reach Buddha hood etc etc...there are literally miles of them, so beautifully carved in stone.
When you walk along the terraces, you cannot help look left and right continuously then look up, and there also you find high above, so so many niches again housing the Buddha in different poses, in doing this, and not only with the energy's there, it just does take your breath away.....on a few occasions i had to say....."remember to breathe sean".
As self had a whole day the next day there, i decided just to take in the first level and head back to the hotel.
As self headed back, i had come to notice just how quiet and calm my heart and mind had become...............wonderful.

4 AM and my alarm went off....time to get up and NOW see BOROBUDUR in all its glory, in THE SUNRISE.
Headed once more through the Gardens in the dark of the early hours of the morning...trusty head torch on, Total stillness was all around, no birds no call through the Tannoys for the Muslims to pray...just stillness.
On arrival to the gate, which was not yet open however the Guard was on his way . there were a few people also there to see the sunrise from the top of Borobudur, they come from some hotel near bye, and were mostly Japanese and Malaysian. I said my hellos and Bows and smiles.
The guard came and let us in. I headed up the stair en-route to the top which i had not seen yet.
After the many steep steps, i arrived........and honestly folks, it was the MOST AMAZING SITE I HAD EVER ENCOUNTERED.
The terrace you walk onto is the transitional terrace , which has another 3 on top of that representing the spiritual world etc. The terraces are 3 layers all encircled by Stupas housing the Buddha. Each Buddha sits in the same Lotus position and hands are classified as in the Mudra . His clothes as in a monks attire, his right shoulder unclothed and hair intied in Chignon fashion all knots going clockwise. Always the URNA (dot) between the eyebrows.
There is 1 that was left unfinished on the terrace, with the stupa not fully enclosing the Buddha in, no one really knows why this was Left like this but some say it was the form of the Lord ADI BHUDDHA, and because of its UTTER PERFECTION, it is deliberately made less than perfect....mmmh??? however it is PERFECT AND SO SO BEAUTIFUL.
The sun came up slowly, however there was quite a bit of cloud coverage, but the setting and light and whole scene was unimaginable. I sat there in total tranquility watching the new day come together in a place that was heaven on earth. The colours of the surrounding country changed from Grey to a gorgeous opalescent Yellow to Pink to Blue and all whatever you wanted to imagine, my camera had a mind of its own...here Sean here Sean my mind consciousness was like torrents of the ethereal rivers that run in and out of this life to the next, minds and sayings, talking and chanting, songs and singers sung in my heart, and my SOULS WERE THERE...OUT THERE LOOKING AND LISTENING AND LEARNING...A THOUSAND SECONDS OF LIFE A THOUSAND YEARS OF LOVE.OPEN AND UNFOLDED RIGHT THERE.
The sun was there giving its life's energy, i looked around and every one had gone...SELF WAS LEFT THERE ALL ALONE....................................I CRIED, A THOUSAND TEARS OF HAPPINESS CAME DOWN MY CHEEKS.....THIS WAS AND HOW IT IS.TODAY I AM WITH THE LORD BUDDHA..................................THANK YOU................TODAY I AM BORN AS EVERY DAY................BUT TODAY..................THIS DAY......................YOU ARE BORN IN A PLACE THAT IS HEAVEN ON EARTH. Self sat there for about an hour until the first of the public came in. Once the hoards arrived i decided to move from the transitional levels and head down to the other terraces and read and look at the wall carvings/panels.
Hours went bye i wandered and wandered, with my head swimming in pools of pure thought...pure light emanated from the top of my head.....i was like the wee torch i had on my forehead earlier to give me light ...i felt i was giving light................There were people AGAIN AND AGAIN............. coming up to me asking to gave picture taken with them, old, young, family's etc....AS i wandered around and around ... Please we have picture with you.....it was FUNNY.....IT GAVE SELF SO SO MUCH PLEASURE TO GIVE THEM......Funny i did think whether i had grown another head on as it went on, however if it gave them HAPPINESS THAT DAY...IT WAS MY PLEASURE. AND THAT WAS THE DAY ON TOP OF BOROBUDUR....HEAVEN ON EARTH. THANK YOU ALLLLLLLLL SO SO SO MUCH IT WAS TRULY A REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE.......................ONE THAT PLANTED MORE SEEDS ON MY HEART THAN EVER BEFORE.................!!!

Thank you you and YOU...........There are times when i have struggled to think what to say, as My English is not quite the best huh, certainly as never really studied much at school..."who needs English" self used to think.......That makes me laugh so much now.............However you get my Just huh. So yeah my BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS, FA MILLY, LOVED ONES AND TEACHERS...........FROM THE DEEPEST CORNERS OF MY HEART, FROM EVERY LIVING CELL THAT MAKES ME, ME, THE I's THANK YOU ALL AND WILL ALWAYS THANK YOU, FOR THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR THOUGHTS AND INPUT TOO...........MAKE ALL IN WHAT YOU CREATE, IN YOUR CREATION, ONE LIFE THAT IS FILLED WITH BEAUTY AND LOVE. Aho.

Namaste. xxx

PEAce jOY love harMoNy comPaSSIoN. xxx


Arrived at Jogjakarta airport at around 8am, got picked up at Airport by my driver Ayut, and headed of to Prembangan 20mins or so down the now teaming with cars trucks and 100s of scooters again carrying anything from 5 people to a sheet of plywood, try that down your main street huh?.....
When we arrived it was relatively quiet. The walk up to the ticket office was through an array of stalls and market traders etc which were all getting ready for the day ahead.
Bought my ticket and off i went through the turnstile and into the Gardens that surround the Temples. The gardens were beautifully manicured, lush green grass and the surrounding trees blew gently in the soft breeze. As I walked my something was brought to my attention. there was Gamalan music played constantly, albeit very quietly and just audible, which made the walk around the gardens etc very very dream like.
On approaching the main temple, self began to realise just the scale of what lay ahead, it was huge? immpressive? you would comprehend the scale, the Architecture the detailing, for those whom have been fortunate as self, will understand.
All around the perimeter there lay hundreds of smaller shrine / temples which all had collapsed over the hundreds of years and Earth tremors which are a common occurrence in Java.
The Anti temples lay in ruins however you still get the feel of what they would have looked like, as they in themselves still are pretty much monumental in scale and with the amount of carved masonry which all has still been kind of relaid in random fashion, gives the impression and energy of what was.
I walked all around these fallen relics taking each and every one in, then it was time to enter the main CANDI (Temple)
There are 237 temples making up the whole area but are split into 3 groups, the smaller ones just discussed, the second which make up Gate houses and are larger in size and finally the third, the Main Central sections. The main Temple(s) were all built in or around the 8th and 9th Century and were built for Hinduism, the complex layout all signifying the sacred and cardinal directions N S E W, However it has only 3 doors, N S and W as you always enter from the EAST. The main Candi is known as Candi Siwa (shiva) and houses a statue of Shiva as supreme God and glorified in the Trimurti faith...Trimurti being the worship of a trinity of gods, Siwa, Wisnu, and Brahma. There is Siwa in several posses and you have Brahma, and Wisnu.
Also in the main temple there are statues of Ganesha, symbolizing Happiness and Durga the spouse of Siwa as the ruler of the Universe.
There were 41 frames of the Ramayana story in Candi Siwa all beautifully carved in stone and in Bias relief which in itself was truly breath taking to walk around and look at.
So imagine the Central tower with steps up to doors in the N S E W, OK, then these doors face smaller Temples with their doors facing the central Candi, however only as said, only 3 faces have steps and doors. In these other 3 Candis you have, Candi Angsa which faces Brahma. This is the temple of the Swan, which he rode on. In front of Candi Wisnu you have Candi Garuda. This is the temple of the Bird God Garuda, and this was Wisnus vehicle.In front of Candi Siwa you have Candi Nandi. The temple of Nandis Cow. The vehicle for Siwa.

The scale of the work and detailing of the Masonry is monumental (pun not intended) It is on scale that truly takes you breath away.
I walked around in AWE for several hours, until the heat and the now ever increasing rate of visitors to the Site, and the fact that self was asked on several occasions to be photographed with some of the tourists made it a bit of confusion and hard work, so self decided to head for the other smaller temples, Lumbung, Kalasan and Sari, all situated within the beautiful surrounding gardens. As self walked in the garden theer were several trees bearing a strange fruit, orange asome yellowishy pink etc it wasnt until self picked one up that i realised what type of fruit it was...not a fruit i guess but a nut...it was teh Cashew nut TREE. Remebering seeing the fruit in Kilani commune Hawii big island. The fruit itself is not unlike the shape of a pepper however not hollow. It is soft and very juicy however several seconds after you bite it and chew thw soft pulp, you find out JUST how stringent it is, it literally will take every drop of moisture from your mouth until your tongue near sticks to the roof of your mouth...! However its deffinately worth a go as the taiste and juisyness at he time is pretty much extreme. As for the old Cashew itself, well its the part that hangs from the tree, and is plain and looks dead right hummble just sitting there.....the Hummble bit with mostest. wonderful. However it is this little hummble brown bit ontop that costs a packet to buy as you have to collect so much fruits to make a a handful, huh, so every time you take a handful of Cashew, remember that it was probably a tree the size of a average BEECH tree back home that supplied all that handful. mmmmmh, just as well they grow really quick too. smiles.

Yeh, so headed of down the tree lined pathways to the smaller sets of temples, and still the Gamalan played gently, gently in my lug hole....thats ears in scottish. (getting in practice for coming home soon)
These temples are a lot smaller in scale. The temple Lumbung has a main temple as temple siwa and is filled with Dyani Buddha. Candi Sari has an entrance flanked by 2 huge stone giants holding a Cudgel and a coiled snake, this temple was also used as a Buddhist temple the temple of Candi Kalasan was built in the year AD 778 as was the other sanctuary's to Buddha, However Kalasan was a [place to worship Tara, the Goddess.
The time spent in all these Temples was utterly majestic, the energy's not powerful or anything like before in Bali etc however they ALL did lend to one what they still have, giving compassion when you gaze ast them and peace within when you walk, and when you realise you are really aimlessly wandering in awe taking in all, taking the breath from you, you just can not comprehend the splendour and immenseness of what once was, and what would have been. In my mind, one of the spiritual wonders of this world.........onward to teh NEXT WONDER........................... BOROBUDUR, BUDDHAS HEAVEN HERE ON THIS EARTH. WOOOAAAAAA!!!!!

Thank you Namaste xxx

Back In Bali and off to OZ !

Hi every one, got back from Java last night and pretty whacked out man....so please be patient as will put into words ALL what happened there when get back to OZ ...thank you all, however managed to upload some snaps for you................Thanks again for everything. Sean xxx

Back from the Hills and West of Bali.

Hi to everyone. Thank you all again for taking time out to Log on...your responses have been wonderful and make it all worth while...thanking each and everyone of you all NOW, this blog was going to be brief however, self just kept going, now can hardly see the screen and me fingers are AGONEEEE! lOVING you ALL.....Namaste. x

Got back around 1hr ago or so Bali time being 3pm, Pretty much Exhausted and head still Buzzing from all the most wonderful and some of the Most powerful energy's have experienced....what a wonderful 2 days it has been.
So yeah, this will be a brief post as really tired huh, however will try and make it as informative as much as self can.
Started of here in Sanur and Wayun our driver picked us up Dead on time 7 am. We headed way up North skirting the West coast of Bali until we reached the first Pura..Rambut suwi....It took us a wee while to find the wee road that led us down there however after 10mins or so putting about we succeeded, and made it. There are several Puras there all ranging in different size and different energies, however there is an unknown one around the side, right down on the shoreline....we headed for there first......we were greeted by the Mangcun(holy man), He did not speak any English however we all got on wonderfully. After setting out our Channa's (offerings and incense) we said our prayers and Got blessed. the Mangcun talked to us about the energy lines that ran from this Pura to various others and as i watched him draw these lines on the sand a picture or some form of writing appeared in front of my eyes......MICHELLE back Home will understand.....!!!! We sat with the Mangcun for a good while, talked, smiled and laughed....the teachings were fantastic, teachings of the Heart....without language.

After walking around the other Puras on the cliff face, we headed of up to the top of Bali and hopefully to catch a ferry to Manjana island and to this Pura that some say has energies there you can almost see in the Air.......The Roads were narrow, bumpy and well, the most amount of Lorries, trucks and scooters carrying everything from Lengths of Bamboo to Chickens..and thats on teh Scooters. The road is the Main road from teh Ferry Terminal which takes you over to Java, and is only like a stones throw over the sea. Man o Man it IS pretty hareum scareum stuff as everyone basically Josstles for pole position etc, quite frightening......They are truly MASTERS AT SCOOTER HANDLING!
We finally arrived at the ferry/wee boat crossing to find it deserted, albeit a port full of wee boats, and boatmen. We sat down under a tree and had some lunch, then enquired as to how much to get across on the 25 min ferry......We were told firstly that it was gonna cost an exorbitent amount and said NO WAY.....HE then said that we have to pay for the whole boat even if there was just 2 of us headin across to the island.....we then replied that, is this the anount that you charge the locals whom wanna go over and pray???? As this question was in the content that the amount he was charging us would be around a months wages here for most.....!! We never got very far, he said that we had to charter whole boat.....but we knew this was nonsense and said our thank yous and left albeit very very dispondent, as Kestrel and self just had an conversation about this matter several hours ago...where when she was teaching in Java, similiar experiances had arose to this one.
So we headed of in search of the next Pura......leaving what had happened well behind.\
When travelled thro some of the most dry and arrid country side, however ironically enough....it was really green and Lush??? The ground was parched dry and not unlike the earth in the Northern Territory, Australia, however It was full of Vegetataion being Corn, Paw Paw and Coconut trees which were the size of a sky scarper....BUT....VERY VERY DRY, ARRID and SCORCHIO.
We found our destination PURA MEALANTING......AWESOME in structure, Architecturally Beyond Belief and Built BY GODS THEMSELVES..............As you can see by my reaction, IT was truly truly BEAUTIFUL. Again there were several Different areas there to make offerings, and pray...each one different than the last. We sat down and made our offerings then headed of to the Main Area...beong exquisitely painted and decked out in the some of the most dazzling array of coloured sashes and Banners etc, adorning the Deity's and Various Sacred Trees and Rocks.
There was an Old Lady Mangcun whom came over to ask if we wanted to Pray there and Get blessing....Kestrel said OK , however self just sat in Awe, looking in all directions, my head was swimming in pools of pure white light.
We headed south and to our final destination for the day which is now becoming evening, to a Pura called Pura segara rupek.....this my friends holds some of the most Powerful energy's on the Island as it is a Gateway through which a lot of it comes through......flanked by Trees either side. On Arrival there we were greeted by The Mangcun........and instantly his smile and Vibration enveloped one with a sense that you have met this man before ? Again, the Language barrier was Not a problem as we all understood each other perfectly.
This Pura is right on the shoreline and has 2 by praying areas that are either of the Huge trees which make the Gateway, and in the MIDDLE...IS HUM DINGER. A wee Pura and a WEE house, bejeweled in Coral and various items from the sea etc.....Adorned and exquisitely painted too. Yeah, this is the Temple of another Sea Goddess....this is HER HOUSE.
Sitting down just outside the Pura, at point i thought i saw the Air ripple.......Then again?? i took it down to being Fatigue, however Kestrel arrived at that point and said to me...Do you know Sean that the Energy id so strong here that sometimes you can see the Air ripple......THAT BLEW MW AWAY..BECAUSE IT DID AND IT WAS!!!!!
The Mangcun came over and said that we have to go now and pray with him, make offerings and then just hang out together and talk and listen and learn.
We made our offerings and prayers then we all sat down and talked......where how when what and who etc etc..........it was wonderful, peaceful and full of Great teachings....!
The Mangcun asked if self wanted to sleep inside and right next to the Sea Goddesses Wee house...? WoW off course self did, however there was maybe a family coming in at around 12 midnight to some prayers and if this was the case he would wake me up and would wait until it was all over then go back to sleep......Self was so so tired by now, and my head again was like floating in a Vat of pure consciousness that i really needed to ground and sleep. So of i toddled at around 8 or 9 ish? I lay down with a sheet over my whole body and head as teh Mosquitos were out to eat me alive and all in their wake no doubt......You could feel the energy coming right up from below, it was liek a low hum coursing slowly through my body.......then i thought a heard My Daughter Abigail shouting Daddy, then ............... a CAT jumped on to my head, making me jump up and nearly...@#?!**%$#?????? You could imagine huh. Managing to settle down again i drifted of to sleep. Not long after, a car appeared and YES it was the family...time to get up again. I sat outside and listened to the Mangcun say his blessings and the Beautiful ringing of his bell.....it made me smile so so much, just the whole scene.....and all the time the waves came in and receded...it was surreal and such an experience.
The family left and settled down again. The land of NOD , and dreams like no other. Smiling so much.
The Mangcun awoke me at around 5am and it was time for prayer, offerings and Blessings, this time in the Holy spring, and the related Pura. We talked again for a long while with again much laughter and that feeling of total calmness and in Beauty that self is HUMBLED once more by all the experiences, the Devotion of the Holy men the Power and Energy's that are here and all around YOU TOO......AND.....JUST HOW LUCKY WE REALLY ARE TO BE HERE AND TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN...........THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH.
Off to BED very very soon.....!!!! As thats me away to Java and Borobudur etc at 5am the moro morning...........will say Hi and have fotos when back here....Thank you. xxx
Namaste. xxx

FROM Pura Silayukti to Java.....Premabangan and Borobudur....!

Hi every one, thank you all for logging on and taking time out to read this blog . Namaste x

Well, as last post indicated, the best was left until last, for that day any way.
We headed out East to Pura Silayukti.
Was told by kestrel that this was one of the most powerful spots on the island, and little visitation by Tourists.
On arrival to Padang Bai, which is the main wee port that you get the ferry out the likes of Lombok and the Gilly islands, the Bay itself was beautiful and picturesque with Chrystal clear water and tree lined hills skirting all around. Not many tourists as it is still the quiet season and allegedly the Australian Govt has been saying that it is still not safe to come to Bali ......Rubbish!
So We set off around the Bay and headed up the hill to Silayukti.
There are 4 Temples in the grounds, each one a different deity and energy.
Seemingly the 4 are done in a specific way, that slowly generates the energy until the last one, which in itself being the most powerful.
We headed in to Nos 1 and just perfect time too, as there was a ceremony being just completed. We waited and said our hello and smiled at all passing when it had finished.
We set out our offerings and incense and prayed for a while and the energy was great, soothing nice and making us feel ready for the next one.
When we hit temple 3 the, we were unsure where would be best to place our offerings and self had an instant pull to the left of the main Shrine and Kestrel to the Right.....which later self had come to realise that it was the Male and Female Energy's, as you stood from main shrine and looked out the male on the right and the female on the left, it all made sense.
The energy there was really good, and a lot as self stood and meditated fro around 15 - 20 mins or so. Wonderful.
Now it was time to hit the BIG KAHUNA.........THE FINAL ONE!
By now i reckon my eyes were like saucers and pupils the size of footballs as self felt the top of my head going to explode, however NOTHING WOULD HAVE PREPARED ME WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!
We made our way down the VERY steep stepped cliff face to which miraculously appearing in front of your eyes was the small walled platform a wee tree and a Grotto cut into the cliff face, adorned with various offerings, shades and sashes etc. Kestrel pulled out a palm tree leaf mat and started to set out the offerings and the incense etc...as the WAVES behind made a thunderous noise. Self could feel the energy as being so so different from all the rest eh......self cant explain fully but........how calm can you feel....times that by 3 or so and that's how one felt...albeit the top of my head was now in blast off mode.
So, we sat down and Kestrel started to cant and sing a song, beckoning the Sea Goddess to come. Within 5 minutes or so after laying out my offerings and praying, self could feel my body starting to vibrate.....a bit like a pendulum......forth and Back .....slowly. I BECAME AWARE OF THIS.....? Not focusing on it, just let it be, until the vibration got more and more powerful until one was moving, pretty darn dramatically...............and all the time feeling this awesome power and energy coming up from below and through my body.......She stopped singing.........and BANG!!! SELF STOPPED MOVING!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE FEELING!!!!!! Somewhat pretty much in shock self got up and looked out into the ocean and sky and smiled with a smile that made tears in ones eyes...........Many time one has felt the energy at the drumming circles etc each time being different and some more powerful than the last albeit VERY POWERFUL STUFF....THANK YOU IAN AND AUDS AND TONY AND SUE love you guys so much xxx..However, man o man NEVER EVER ON THE SCALE AND POWER OF THIS. This Kestrel said is why one must do these Puras in specifically this order. We sat down after and had some lunch and on the way back I drifted of to sleep in the Van absolutely shattered, but feeling like so so SO in connection and so so SO calm and so so SO HUMBLED by the whole experience. Namaste. xxx

Tomorrow going on a Pilgrimage right up to Manganan island to where there are 3 very sacred sights not marked on any Tourist map, which self is pretty much honored to get a chance in visiting. Hopefully sleeping over night at one, which is meant to be like an experience and a half...The HALF will do me just fine Thank you. smiles. xxx

On Wednesday am heading off at 4 am to catch a flight albeit for 3 pounds each way plus taxes, but the taxes are 25 pounds, to JAVA, and to visit......PRAMBANGAN AND BOROBUDUR...THE ANCIENT MASSIVE STRUCTURES THAT WERE FOUND IN OR AROUND THE SECOND WORLD WAR PURELY BY CHANCE????? CANT WAIT. WILL update when get back to OZ on Fri or SAT or SUn.

Thank you all again from the deepest parts of my Heart, self IS TRULY HONOURED to have such wonderful friends and family, my thoughts each day are with you all and may Love peace harmony Joy and Compassion be with you all every second of this day to the next..! May you ALL Walk in Beauty. Namaste.XXX I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU ALL...KEEP SMILING HUH!!!!! Smiles xxx

POEMS IN THE NIGHT......... AWAKE AND WRITE!!!!!

FOREST WITHIN A FOREST

There is always a forest within a forest,
all you have to do is SEE.

There is always a forest within a forest,
in that forest, you have your magik tree.

There is always a forest within a forest,
pristine and perfect from canopy to loam.

There is always a forest within a forest,
always giving you shelter, making it home.

There is always a forest within a forest,
pathway, golden ribbon, shows the way.

There is always a forest within a forest,
sharing with the mother, there you lay.


To life:-----'---,@

when a smile can say a thousand words
that shows pictures, happiness and Joy.

When a Gesture of compassion, can give
warmth, to every Girl or Boy.

When a show of pure Love from deep in
our Hearts, making sadness disappear.

When notes from Natures music sheet
played, every day, sweet music in Ears.

So, rise from sleep and bless the day, make
it a gift, for to take and to give.

WE all have that gift from life itself, creating
thought, "Life" it is wonderful to LIVE!



WHALE SONG, EARTH SONG.

Fields of Concrete, Forests of block, Glass and steel.
Rivers that run with the movement of the Car, Bus
and Train.
Canopies of rooftops, shading us from the blistering
heat.....getting hotter.
Meadows that spring up, giving us new breeds of flowers
STOP, GO, NO ENTRY or THIS WAY ONLY!
Little fish swim and Jostle for pole position, needing
more food, more petrol, "I want to be fastest, first, or
home before you".
Leviathans of the sea, taking taking on board their
symbiotic partners, parasitical relationships, gorging
on the scraps of opulence, filling their bowels with
blackness, that spills, an offering to Gluttony.
Giant Moles tunnel, Beetles the size of houses remove
discard an dump, only to find a morsels of dust,
Fingers adorn, leaving their Labyrinths and craters
a testimony to Greed.
Steel Lotus Flowers, Lily pads, float and bob merrily
on the ocean waves, sending out their exploratory
tendrils, that burrow under the Ocean carpet,
foraging, searching for what has always been there
since before time...now- global currency.
Whale song, now a distorted echo, song sheets that
were penned by Gods themselves, now, strewn in
random order pages, 8, 1, 5, 111, 23 etc Notation
Do fa me so do......no rhythm at all.
Let us ALL have one thought, Each and every day
for what we our actions have and are doing.
Let us be the Flower, That Mole, Leviathan t Whale
the Canopy and The Forest LET US BE THE NEW
LIFE, NEW WORLD, NEW ENERGY'S AND NEW
THOUGHTS FOR OUR NEW FUTURE. Aho.

THE CARDINAL DIRECTIONS FOLLOWED....THE PATH OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR....

Heeeelo to all again...this will be quite a quick post as....it costs a packet here to go online, and the connection is pretty slow so it takes such a long time to upload photos etc etc, therefore i will upload photos and write in more detail whats a self been doin.....especially as at moment the plan is to head to Java to BOROBUDUR and several other sacred sites on East Java......as say that is the plan however, been trying to get a cheap cheap car and driver to take me there. It is there BUT its taking its time.

So yeah...my first trip was to the Pura (temple)Batakaru in the centre of Bali.....this temple in itself now very very large was a bit on the Touristy side huh, however it was "a starting point", to which i had been told that i must start......in the Centre. The temple had gorgeous meandering canals and a shiny glistening slow moving river which skirted the beautifully manicured gardens. I had to adorn the usual customary Sarong and sash and buy offerings, such as palm leaf baskets filled with flower petals and a wee "lolly" sweet.....also with the addition of my own teachings "sacred tobacco " too. The energy's there were calm and peaceful with a few areas that gave a "bit more hum" but all in all it was great start.
We then headed of to Pura Tana lot which self had visited way back in 1990's, remembering the majesty of the Pura as you walked down the avenue towards the island temple, but now, afraid to say that development and what can be described as Blackpoolesque stalls etc now line the avenue, therefore was real saddened to see this, however the sunset there is a must do BUT...what with all the mixed energy's around etc....Its a bit of a head spinner! As i sat there taking what the temple was giving one of the holy men beckoned me over to one of the caves below the temple to drink some sacred water...which was refreshing, and came just at the right time as was getting a bit dizzy with all what was happening around......after drinking the water i noticed that there was another shrine way around the bay, somewhat smaller than the "main attraction"
Setting of through again some of the most beautifully kept gardens, but every other 5 yards or so being harangued by wee kids wanting to sell over priced postcards, self skirted around and came to the smaller of the 2 puras......there were very few people there which was refreshing....i sat down on a wee rock, looked over the bay to the larger temple and sat and meditated for a while.......it was lovely....good stuff. Said my thanks and off to meet Madey my driver, head home and relax.
The next one, which takes in the South was Pura Uluatu.....the Monkey Temple and homage to Hanuman the monkey god.....cheeky monkey.
Pura Uluatu was huge, festooned with Monkeys whom take great pleasure in trying to steal anything that they can...cameras, necklaces, hats and what ever else that they wanna whip from you. Yeah there were a few areas in and around the temple that were really powerful, however was there for a brief time as we were heading of to go and watch the KECHACK (FIRE DANCE)....the Ramayana story played out on the grounds of the temple just as the sun goes down.................IT WAS MIND BLOWING. Briefly......you have many guys and gals....the females playing the male part always...... constantly chanting "chak chakcheka chak" which undulates in tempo, rhythm and tone and becomes so so hypnotic that it takes to where you wanna go...........then the story is played out, by wonderful dancing, movements and actions that were so powerful, sad, happy and absolute awesome, all the time the cacophony of the "chak chak"bringing the show to a degree of transcendental pleasure.....................it was amazing.......will be taking this "chakchak" back home to do in a work shop come circle as its great for a group, and brings all together through sound, breath and wonderful energy.
The next PURAS were Lake Tambalingan , in thew North...........THIS SELF HAD BEEN TOLD IS A MUST.....................!!!!!! We drove for ages high into the mountains and through wonderful rice fields and literally Acres of vegetables and wonderful gentle farm land.......headed down this VERY rocky steep back road down to the lake. The cloud coverage was getting pretty dark and bleak looking as it does once you hit a certain altitude, and at this time of year prob 100% of downpour. So we arrived at the edge of the lake where we were greeted by several men whom said that if i wish, for a small fee guide me throw the forest and to where SELF" SHOULD GO"....!!! So yup sounded just the ticket..........!
My guide was Wanyeh whom think was around 50 or so, not much English but it was better than my Indonesian/Balinese however , this is what its all about huh.............we got on like we understood each other perfectly by...... HAND VOICE FEELING AND TOGETHERNESS....THE JOY OF HAVING ...NO OTHER THAN HARMONY LOVE AND PEACE IN YOUR SOUL...NO FRUSTRATION AND NOTHING OTHER THAN......SHARING BROTHER TO BROTHER!!! and and and....was like we had known each other for years....So we Headed of, my trusty stick in hand given to self by my guide, my offerings incense and a Rain coat.
We walked through a Forest NOT LIKE ANY FOREST i have ever been through.........it was the most powerful est Woodland self has ever ever set foot in, the trees were HUGE thick Gnarly and with every step taken, they listened and talked....my sacral chakra felt like it had been whacked, again and again, then it came right up to my slowly working its way up to my heart then throat, then, self was nearly in tears, full of emotion, the love for humanity my family fro you and fro ALL that stands FOR GOOD IN THIS WORLD!!!!!! .....my guide turned at one point on the journey, bent down, picked up a flower and gave it to me......."special", he said, I LOOKED AT IT AND IT WAS A PERFECT SWASTIKA........THE ANCIENT SYMBOL FOR BALANCE FOR ABOVE..PEACE...AND AGAIN....WHAT IS GOOD IN OUR WORLD..but IT GOES CLOCK WISE....NOT LIKE THE ONE WE ALL HAVE COME TO KNOW. After about 30 mins or so walking thro the forest we came to a clearing where there were some holy men praying and some others too. My guide said to me this is the shrine of the wind......the wind blew. As most of my spirit animals are all feathered and with my Name sake self instantly thought that one must make an offering do some prayers and small meditation.....Lit my incense my tobacco, and sat in prayer. The wind blew and with it came a few strong messages...all giving self the messages that at that time in moment what was required, especially after walking through the forest. I sat and spoke to one of the holy men for a short spell and thanked him and all around..Namaste.
We then proceeded to the shrine for SHIVA....My guide led the way. This time up some really precarious steps and rock face........When we arrived, there were 3 shrines.......and self was getting so drawn to the smallest one on the left. It was the littlest of the 3 and seemed to pull me in...calling and calling. I made my offering and prayers then my guide came up to me and smiled and pointed out that there are 2 sacred stones just behind the shrine...one female and one male and indicated that self should go see them.......We both went around and the Energy was pretty powerful there....a mix of both Female and Male. We sat down and did small meditation and then the Holy man came around to say hello. He asked where i came from, albeit through my Non English speaking guide, which made me so so smile but we ALL got IT with NOTHING OTHER THAN EASE. The holy man was so so gentle and gave me Beautiful Gardenia flower...FOR REASONS which come next.
After and hour or so sitting and just Being, we set off. The Heavens opened huh. No shoes, puddles and rain and feeling like i was 10, we headed back to where we started from...but different route........However there was this Pura that had eluded me, but new it was there. Kestrel told me all about it and said that the deity still is there and is So SO strong....GODDESS. The rain was totally torrential, and we walked thro this wee village, where every one was sheltering from the downpour....THEN...........I saw a temple in the distance, about 500yaqrds away. I gave my guide a wee tug and pointed in thje direction of the temple. We made haste and arrived..We sat down and looked around.....I knew it was NOT the Large pura, BUT there was this really unobtrusive very very plain little walled Pura with a few wee shrines.....one with 3 Tiered roof and Just a simple little single roofed shrine..................INSTANTLY SELF KNEW SHE WAS THERE....!!!
The pull was tremendous......."that's where you are" I looked at my guide with the biggest of smiles and he smiled back. Pointing in the direction of the Pura, he nodded. I said "me go there" So, as we stepped out of the shelter, the rain STOPPED.
We both stepped into the courtyard, which was very very simple, and again the energy there was pulling, pulling!
I set out my offerings...THER WERE 4 LEFT IN THE BAG...........1 BROKEN......MAKING IT HE PERFECT 3......then........i looked into my "lolly" bag and i had only 2 left..........THAT'S WHERE MY GARDENIA CAME IN...............!!! NOW YOU SEE.
The rain still just a little drizzle i made it up to the shrine, and my head was like swimming in thoughts of such BEAUTIFUL ENERGY'S THAT IT MADE ME QUITE DIZZY.
Placed my offerings , lifted my hands to pray, and BANG BANG!!!!!1 THE VOICE OF A GODDESS..........................instantly.....MY CHILDREN......AND AND AND!!!! i laid out my first incense...........again and again she talked. My final incense was laid and thanking her for everything, i walked away in AWE...........!!!!!! MY heart full of my Children, their future, OUR FUTURE. THE RAIN THEN FELL ONCE MORE....MY GUIDE AND I MADE IT BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED. Namaste. xxx

Today visited PURA SILAYUKTI....To be done in VERY VERY special order....the best until Last.......!!!!! Will try and get on the moro....!!! havin a day chasing up cars and drivers...and maybe just a little lay in the sun...sorry!!! thank you all so so SO much. Always in my HEART.....I COULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT YOU ALL. Nmaste. Aho.

THE BALINESE WAY...THE WAY OF THE HEART AND SOUL.

Hello to all…hoping all is GOOD IN YOUR HOOD?
Arrived in Bali albeit very very late as the flight was delayed for over 5 hrs at Darwin, which was a bit of pain as had to spend like nearly 12 hours at airport in total as Chris dropped me off pretty much earlier than hoped because he had business to attend to in Darwin, however all was well as it was good just to sit and unwind and people watch for a few hours.
The flight was a quick one, 2 and a half hours and soon was touching down in Denpassar Bali.
Picked up a taxi and headed of to Sanur to hopefully meet Ben (from Butterfly farm) who probably by now was fast asleep?
Three quarters an hour later arrived at Ulia homestay in Sanur, and Ben, wide eyed and smiling, wonderful.
We sat down on the Veranda, talked about what had happened to him since leaving the Fram and who what and where…he had been having a ball, and at 22, why not.
Got To our room here at the homestay which is lovely, clean, very very Balinese and UBER QUIET……! Put my body on clean bed and head on clean pillows , shut my eyes and that was it…………….GOOD MORNING!
The homestay , was at one time a very large hose which the present owners have converted into a homestay, little restaurant come, centre for all good things, peace quiet and friendliness on a scale that …..Makes you smile every moment you are here.
The staff are the most gentle and friendliest I have come across since started out my travels, which makes this final leg of the journey one that puts the ICING ON THE CAKE so to speak. BUT ON SPIRITUAL LEVEL??? WELL WE SHALL COME TO THAT!.......Namaste. x
The next 2 days were spent with Ben as this was all the time he had left here in Bali and by the sounds of what he had been u to on several other islands near by, total relaxation and some well needed rest was required for him, so we just walked talked and said hello to everyone that smiled and said hello to us.
The Balinese people as said before are so so gentle, every one smiles every one has so much patience, to stop and talk say hi where you from, thank you, bless you, giving every moment here a time to reflect on life love and laughter…..how hard huh. NOT.
So yeh, I think have said in past, “how hard is it to smile to someone, and when you get a smile back….how good does that feel” It is like that with EVERY person you meet here, young , old ….even the dogs will come up and hang out with you for a while…woof woof.
Awoke the 3rd morning here with my body in pretty sore shape….as it was pretty well worked out and has been over the last few months so what with the real hard mattress here which is wonderful for my back and muscles going into meditation mode, the combination of those was telling on me weary body…………….massage time!
Checked into a spa which was just down the road , walked in and greeted with some beautiful tea and Balinese music which sent me off to Vega and back…..!
There were several different styles which included hot rocks, Swedish and others that I had never heard of, so, as being pretty much Scottish and not making any wages etc I opted for the basic which in itself still a full body massage but without the trimmings, spas saunas foot scrapes defoliation (goad) and various other forms of torture…(smiles) BUT which I would think would be so wonderful to have for sure…maybe next time huh?
I was ushered thro 2 large doors into the changing area where a guy gave me a pair of what I can only explain as black sort of see thro girls gym pant things…..I looked at him in astonishment and kind of embarrassingly smiled as he smiled at me……funny….A pair of shorts to cover my Girly panty things and a kimono. Led up stair, to where and into this area which was beautifully decorated in Balinese wall hangings, lovely ochres and creams and beautifully lit, with music that again put you into a space that just said…relax. Awesome.
My Masseuse arrived and…………..again smiled and greeted me….by now I was nearly asleep as the music played and my soul was slooowwly getting into what it remembered and what it knows……..First my feet were washed and bathed in some very aromatic warm flower petalled filed bowl and dried then led of to my table.
I lay down and then the most wonderful …..gentle…………..flowing rubbing squeezing of my tired body began.
Starting from the tip of my toes right up to my scalp was made to feel at ease, albeit whacked and slapped and pulled and stretched but wonderfully gentle at the same time, I was sent of on a swirling, flowing, journey to the stars and beyond .
I asked how long she had been doing massage professionally. 5years was her reply, and may I add that in 5yrs man oh man she really knew about her profession. Once the treatment was over, she went and came back, with the most hypnotic, belly, soul warming sweet ginger tea, again with smiles that said a thousand words. Drank my tea and headed of down stair again to, which all this time had forgotten about, whip off me girly pants, well I guess I am still a wee boy inside at times huh…..that inner child. Namaste.

I had been on my face book site and had been talking to Michelle and Troy, if you remember from several weeks ago, whom I met again in Batchelor and whom are my beautiful friends I had met on Elcho island in Arnhem land way back in the beginning of my travels.
So yeah, Michelle had said to me that day on face book that she had been here in Bali several weeks ago and had a wonderful time, and that she had got in contact with a local lad called Made satrua, and that I should call him if I wanna head out into and look for the REAL BALI, and that she had spent a week with Made and his wee van and that it was a fantastic experience. So yeh Michelle thank you so so so much.
I gave Made a call and he turned up here in front of the homestay right on time, himself and his wee van, both smiling and giving out such wonderful gentle energy.…. my man and van. I new that they were the right as I have left everything up to the powers to BE!! That as you SHOULD know by now… how it IS and always will BE……. So we sat down had some tea. Made asked where I wished to go to on the Island ? To which my reply was “untouristy, temples, shrines and and and”. He said to me that untouristy is NOT a problem at all however, I should still go and check out some things that would be of interest to me and that unfortunately would be very busy, therefore still do the tourist trip thing but in context, also en route etc take some unortahdox routes and take in bits n bobs toooo!
I trusted him implicitly, made an agreement that self would , hire him for 4 days, become brothers trust eachother and connect with all what is special and wonderful about life and offcourse, this VERY VERY POWERFUL SPECIAL ISLAND OF BALI. So with , open heart mind and soul……ELVIS…..LETS ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

The next morning I sat down for me breaky, fruit and toast and Balinese coffee…Kopi Bali.
There was a woman sitting just on the next table, I smiled and said my hellos and good mornings, to which in reply was a big smile and good morning back. Introduced myself and she in reply said her introduction……”Kestrel” from Australia.
It turns out that Kestrel has been coming back forth here to Bali for many years, originally by the university on Religious studies etc but now she has been TOLD on many occasions that she has to go it alone and has ……. To start a new healing centre come spiritual centre come …..well she not quite sure as to where and when but it is IMINENT .
Yeah, the universal interventions strike again huh…….! So, she said to me that she new that she had to speak to me but was NOT quite sure what and why for? But albeit had to talk. And that she did.
As I said she has been coming here over the last several years, and also taking IN the eastern part of Java and some its most powerful sites etc, along with her Holy man and teacher from here on Bali.
We talked and talked about, stuff I guess, but all the time giving and taking so much wonderful teachings, every second that passed.. Kestrel is mostly into The way of Buddha the life and teachings which over the last year has been a source of strength, focus and inner joy to me and self is thanking you back home for sharing with me prior to heading out on this Journey, so again EVERY STEP BEFORE AND NOW AND WHAT NEXT ONES WILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE……THE ONES.
Kestrel gave me a list of some of the more powerful sites and Puras (temples) and shrines that were not listed and that self MUST go and have a look at and Pray and make offering…..well Thank you so so so much Kestrel, Truly thank you. Namaste.
So, My brother Made and self headed off….to search for the REAL BALI!!!! OMMMMMM! Sore fingers…….and neck…think need a massage again…smiles!!
Will try and put photos on A S A P. KEEP POSTED KEEP SAFE KEEP LOVE IN THINE HEART AND SHARE IT WITH EVERY ONE. !!!!!

HI AND HEEEELLLLO TO ALL!

Well its been a while since last entry, as been extremely busy here and went away for several days on a wee walkabout with Artist/Teacher friend Mike from Melbourne.

Yeah, the cabins that been constructing are coming on a treat and are approx 70% complete, which is a real feat in itself due to the severity of the heat and humidity each day which fluctuates from barely tolerable to Highly TOXIC.
Its been wonderful though and have enjoyed "nearly" every minute, however the minutes that have passed that had given self a bit of grief were my own doing any way so ....... ALL IS GOOD IN THE HOOD!

Last Saturday Mike, Artist and teacher here at the Bachelor College for Indigenous studies etc, came around and asked if self wanted to go to an opening night exhibition that one of his colleagues had on in a Gallery in Darwin.....I thought about it for a wee while as self was really really tuckered out, and in that modus operandi..... "shall i shall i nae" trait of thoughts, however, after giving it some deliberation albeit 20 secs or so me decided to go. We set off at around 7 pm and into the night roads and complete DELUGE....THE RAIN HAD COME AGAIN, this time with more severity than the last time.

We reached the STUART HIGHWAY turn off which is Highway 01 HERE and that's the one that takes you right down the m9iddle of Australia,as we drove onto it, the car Hydroplaned and did a 360degs spin out, faced the right way and drove in the direction of Darwin like nothing had happened kind of thing however the rain just consistently lashed down horizontally and as we drove the car changed from a FORD TO A HIGH POWERED SPEED BOAT on several occasions. The traffic coming in the other direction...not a lot BUT, WAS USUALLY 4 TO 5 TRAILER LONG ROAD TRAINS, that kicked up a TSUNAMI wave that engulfed the car and all otheres that come in their wake....which by at that point was gonna be like driving from here to ABERDEEN WITH NO LIGHTS ON..........uber UBER SCARY STUFF!

We arrived, Mike not even slightly perturbed by any off the 5 or 6 times we lost steering as the car SKATED ALONG THE CREST OF WAVES etc, and self, well, needing a VERY LARGE WHISKY....AND I DON'T DRINK BLEEDIN WHISKY MAN! So yeah another one to chalk up in the "EXPERIENCES BOOK HUH " although it did make us laugfh a lot, when we arrived at our destination.

The Exhibition which was entitled "THE KUNDALINDI INTENTION PROJECT" Was very very interesting. It involved a few Video installations and sculptures which were very very organic and flowed beautifully with the energies of SEXUALITY, TRUTH AND SELVES.
The art on the walls, which totalled around 70 pieces, showed off the artists thought processes through doing various forms of Meditation, one majorly being Kundalindi Yoga etc.......again very VERY powerful imagery varying from, MORPHING COLOURFUL SKULLS TO POWERFULLY DRAWN SEXUAL ORGANIC FORMATIONS WHICH IN THEMSELVES WERE EACH A STATEMENT TO ONE THOUGHT, THAT OF WHAT HE CONNECTED WITH AT THAT TIME IN MOMENT OF INDUCTION....GOOD STUFF!

After the Exhibition We were invited back to someones house just outside Darwin, where Mike used to have his studio, before he got a position and headed down here to Bachelor.
There self met many lovely people, Bren,the owner, is a professional dancer whom has danced with some major troupes all over the world, mostly contemporary style but has done several things in theatre in Broadway etc and now teaches mostly mixed indigenous styles to various age groups. They just had finished a BIG show here called MUNUK GAPU..saltwater freshwater. had few drinks, sat and talked about the exhibition and was out for the count early doors. Water on the Brain.

In the morning Mike and self decided to head of to PARAP market and have some nice KWOFFE and some fresh cooked Thai or Vietnamese for breaky, so we said our thank you very very much,s and Head of in the direction that our noses And our ever groaning tummy's were leading us.
We arrived in PARAP MARKET.........AWESOME PLACE MAN.....!
A mix of all nationalities food stalls, all fresh produce and some of the most wonderful Laksa soups self has ever tasted....perfect pick me up, Hot n Spicy and sweet and sour to boot.......yum yum.
We had our Kwoffees and decided to "mong" around a bit check out the stalls and say hello to many people that Mike has known over the several years hes been here....every one was truly wonderful.......THANK YOU ALL.

By lunch time it was a case of "what we do now" scenario ??? Mike asked if self had been to some water falls and pools out by Jabaru way ?, which i had not . So we both decided it would an awesome idea to pack an ESKI, go back to Brens pick up a couple of SWAGS, Woolworth's AND FILL THE ESKI with food and beer and head out to check them out.

the RAIN HAD ALL BUT DISAPPEARED OVER NIGHT AND THE DRIVE WAS WONDERFUL......The usual dry outback, Woolybut trees, stringy bark trees, iron woods, Zamier palms and Mango plantations..which by the way are in full pikin season....(eat about 2 - 4 a day) yeh, it was just nice to hang out man and get away....!

On arrival the falls were not quite in full swing as yet but however shall be triumphantly roaring very shortly and will have so so much energy, me thinks take yer breath away for sure.

RAINDROPS FALL AT NIGHT
BRINGING ME TO YOU, HEAVY
HOODED EYES CRY FOR HOME.

This IS AN IMPROMPTU entry...!!!!

It is just the back of 2 in the morning here in Batchelor, sitting here wide awake having a coffee and......in the middle of what i would say would be like //"the end of the world" its BIBLICAL out there.
Awoke at around 1 am to the noise of jet engine starting up...this was the wind traveling through the bush and trees around, the palms and banyan branches getting thrown to and fro, hitting of me DONGER...that's make shift house in OZ.
SO that was just the beginning.........then....... a few rain drops...listening, drip drop, heavier and heavier they grew, until basically you would think that someone has just switched on 100 fire hydrants and directed them at me wee hoose. Now its DRIP DROP ....POUR ON ME HEAD AND ON ME BED.
So gets up to quickly organize what remnants i have left, before they SAIL out the room as such. luckily i always carry Black Bin liners in my pack just for this SET BACK. oh and my Camo Cagoule which ironically have had all this time ..... !

Got all stuff covered and water proofed, my feet now in 2 inches at least, of water and the THUNDER AND LUMIERE FANTASTIQUE starts.........Thunder and Lightning that makes a scene from .... Moses ..... look like the wizard of OZ...No pum intended there , but tiz funny. SO EV ONE .. AS I WRITE THIS it is still Deluge and still kicking of out there.....of for coffee number 2 now and sit and listen and watch nature at its best as always. Oh by the way......if a number of geeeezers riding horses appear from the heavens....OFFER THEM A QUICK CUPPA BEFORE THEY HEAD ON THEIR BUSINESS ...... LOVE AND LIGHT JOY AND COMPASSION HARMONY AND PEACE IN ALL. XXXXX Namaste. x

Birthday at The Butterfly Farm...

HI and How are you all??

ANOTHER YEAR IN THE LIFE.....OF ME.!... and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DAD, I LOVE YOU! XXX Ya old wonderful bugger! smiles. xxx

Well Folks, it was me Boithday yesterday, (15th Oct) and another gone......mmmmh, and what a year it has been.
As you all know, from the day when arrived in Singapore when had trouble getting through immigration to Here In Australia, and ALL the WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES, THERE AFTER...................AWESOME.

When self awoke this morning, looking out to the sunrise i see every morning,the Orange burst of new life, the trees, now changing into Emerald green, the bush bristling with sound of crickets, the morning chorus of a million birds each calling out their own call thanking and shouting to each other their plans for the day, i started to think about all the Good, and the Not so good experiences i have had in this year and especially my Journey.
I went right back to saying Goodbye at the Airport in Aberdeen and started my travels all over again, i started trying to focus on the areas of the Journey that did NOT really stand out, because usually we can always recall the GREAT AND NOT SO GREAT. So this time it was the ones that always seem to be in the middle...the Grey, non discript ones, as if to say, ones that really were.....NORMAL???.
After several minutes thinking, i could not really come up with ANY...?
You may say,there must be one or two bits of Your travels that were like this for sure huh? But NO defo NO............Self has came to the conclusion quite simply that..EVERY EXPERIENCE......even as simple as going 100yds down the road and pick up a Feather......EVERY DAY HAD ITS MEANING ..ITS REASONS..ITS OWN COLOUR, black or white..but NOT THE GREY. And Life in itself is like this NO MORE NO LESS.........some days we have those DOWN days, the black ones..........but Only for a reason....its what becomes of you and your response and WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED, WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, ADDING IT TO YOUR OWN TEACHINGS, TO YOU....ALL for that reason, it is the.........WHITE....the YOU AND YOUR WISDOM YOUR KNOWLEDGE....WHAT YOU GIVE BACK AND ALSO TAKE........FROM EVERY SITUATION ALONG EVERY STEP YOU TAKE.......SMILE BE HAPPY, EVEN WHEN ANOTHER YEAR GOES BY and perhaps things have been pretty rocky and or up AND DOWN LIKE A SEE SAW.... WHAT DOES IT COST TO........SMILE....SAY I LOVE YOU....I LOVE THIS WORLD....I AM HAPPY...I AM GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY...I HAVE HOPE....I HAVE FAITH IN ALL AND AROUND....I CREATE MY OWN LIFE SO I AM GOING TO CREATE A WONDERFUL ONE! HUH HUH HUH HUH.....HOW MUCH.....JEESHHH I JUST THOSE WORDS IN 15 SECS AND THEY ARE...............PRICELESS!................ KEEP SMILING BE HAPPY..........Aho. xxx

Thank you ALL so so so MUCH...... THANK YOU MY SISTER, FOR PHONING, IT WAS TRULY WONDERFUL TO HEAR YOU ALL....SO SO SMILING. Thank YOU Caroline for my Gifts from home, brought a tear to my eye and my heart was there with you ALL......! LIFE IS TRULY GREAT AND WITH ... HAPPENINGS OF THE PLANET AT THE PRESENT....ALL FOR REASONS, IT NOT LASTING LONG.....INTERVENTION! WOOOO HOOOO! XXX Namaste. xx

MOON DANCER.

Lying on this Red Earth my eyes gaze skyward,
opalescent shimmering, caressing me, feeding my
heart, my soul, my selves, softening the ochres
below my skin.
From silver to pink, she turns into a lotus flower
opening her self to the invitation of Beauty, and
Love, "see me feel me, gaze at my beauty and give
all that beauty for i am here for you tonight" she
speaks, I listen, look, feel.
All around me voices call, the trees talk, sending
out an earthly lament.
All around the ancient messengers sleep, one may
open an eye to gaze at her Beauty, to feel her love
to be enrobed in her aura of pure gentleness, then
silently, it is time for them to dream again.
Moon dancer, is giving her love, to me and all that
see her, she is the light the love, that flowering lotus.
Thank you my Moon Dancer, i give you my heart.
Dream time is here.

My Angel


You are the angel that took my heart,

You are the angel that tore me apart.

You are the breath that I take every day,

You are the breath, and I want it to stay.

You are the warmth in my bed,

You are the warmth that keeps me a-head.

You are the energy as the day ends,

You are the energy with what life sends.

You are the time that helped to heal,

You are the time that made life real.

You are the love that you gave to me,

You are the love that is meant to be.

LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL.... X

To..... i am you.


To hide in oneself withdrawn darkness, sinking
into the shadowless corners, a stillness that
speaks of nothing but emptiness.

To come into life, born from that darkness, where
the shadowless corners have a glimmer of first
light, filling with life.

To be you and oneself, now living and walking in the
light, where the corners now are full of colour,
and are corners no more.

To be here but there at the same time, i am alive
full of the light, of your light of all light, seamless
tapestry enveloping me.........say...I AM YOU.




Hi every one. Well not a great deal happening here other than being pretty busy building on the New Accommodation blocks, which are approx 60% finito.
As stated before the rain came last week, however it did not come to much other than make the Temperature rise and the Humidity pretty unbearable at times.....therefore putting all here into very much different frames of minds......a bit like for those whom have will understand, a sweat lodge without.......mmmh.......lodge or or ?? You have to give into it man...or...it will just eat you alive for sure.

So yeh the rain only came for several days then petered out, however more is DEFINITELY ON THE WAY.

Looking forward to a couple of weeks away as am off to Bali or neighbouring islands for that break, and, to sit and read and do Nothing but connect through day dreams and night dreaming too...........wey hey, well needing it.

Today had a wee accident on my right ring finger....careless and lesson learned. A visit to the local Clinic here, albeit with REALLY FRIENDLY STAFF AND AIR CONDITIONED TOO MADE IT.IRONICALLY A TREAT TO BE THERE. So yeah all fixed up, a jab in the Bum and right as rain in a few days.

yeah my Friends and Family that's about it really...yeah not a great deal, just doing what self came to do........no more no less.

Thank you all so much for everything.

Namaste. x

"I've just read your last article in your blog. Those two months have been wonderful. I won't forget the excellent time in kitchen with you, your energy, your beautiful heart, your ability to make things easy, to make me smile.
I will miss you.

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” - Cesare Pavese


From a stranger to friend, you're one of those remarkable, generous, nice, intense, beautiful people that i rarely met.

Let me know the new adventures of the Butterfly farm and when you're in Bali.

Keep smiling, keep dreaming, keep cooking, keep learning French, keep playing dj, keep making your life and the life around you beaufiful. Thanks.

XXX, Lucie.

You too my Ever Happy Ever on the GO WONDERFUL FRENCH TEACHER...HUGZZZZ! X
