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. !!!!!
THANK YOU ALL.
KEEP SMILING FROM THE HEART. XXX
Namaste. xxx

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. !!!!!
THANK YOU ALL.
KEEP SMILING FROM THE HEART. XXX
Namaste. xxx

PJ HARVEY....ONE LINE!
Do you remember the first kiss? Stars shooting across the sky To come to such a place as this You never left my mind. I'm watching from the wall As in the streets we fight This world all gone to war All I need is you tonight. And I draw a line To your heart today 'To your heart from mine A line to keep us safe' All through the rising sun All through the circling years You were the only one Who could have brought me here. And I draw a line To your heart today 'To your heart from mine A line to keep us safe'
just.........SAY!
Gentle cool air, careesing my skin
feeding my thoughts for the silent
evening that will proceed.
Turning a page of today, my thought,
the wind whips across my face, bringing
it the understanding, rest.
Wealth of peace sits quietly, as thine
heart is tempered to a glowing orb,
a warm orange glow.
Lay beside me my call, show me the
stars, show me that glow in YOUR heart
show me home.
Take me once more, to where the dark
cloth covers everything and only the light
of our creation shines through.
Orange glow of all, an abundance of what
we covet every day is around, the peace
the love, the joy.
Once more the wind blows against my skin
now looking into your eyes, where a million
candles are refelected.
My reflection is swimming, diving into your
pools of tenederness, of timeless depths, im
feeling, all in every day.
This shall be, the time to say hello, to say,
goodnight, to say thank you, to say I love
YOU, TO SAY.........? JUST SAY!

OFF TO BALI IN A FEW DAYS.
THANKING IS SOMETHING THAT WE HOPE TO BE ON ALL
LEVELS THROUGH THE CREATION, TO KNOW WHO WE ARE'
WHAT WE ARE, AND WHAT OUR CAPACITIES ARE.
IN ORDER TO SAY A TRUE THANKS TO THE CREATOR,
YOU HAVE TO KNOW, WHAT YOU ARE. AND THAT IS
A PERSONAL ENDEAVOUR. TO KNOW YOUR GIFTS AND
BE ABLE TO SHARE THEM.
Thank you all so so much. Namaste xxx
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. We found a great place to through down the swags, quiet and shady and not far from the Pools for swim and Not to many Campers or tourists kicking about too.
A couple from Germany came over and said hello, we traded of some OZ beer for German beer, sat down and talked, sharing our wisdom and teachings from all around the globe..... TRULY TRULY delightful stuff, THERE were several times the PULL FROM YOU AND YOU AND YOU TOOO came through as self sat and thought of home, of my Children of ALL THE EXPERIENCES AND YOU, Sitting there self smiled as salways, and said my thank yous, to YOU ALL. Later on We all went for a swim later and settled down with a fire, and the couple which now toatalled 4, another 2 from Holland, had joined us again, we sat and sang songs talked and Just connected no more no less..........excellenty! Thank you . xxx
So thats about all the news my wonderful friends and family .... some work some play, making good balance i guess.....so yes heading of to Bali in few days for...REST AND REST. And to arrange my arrival back home at the ending of the YEAR. Well looking forward to coming home and seeing my Children and My Familly, My loved ones and Friends. HuGZzZzZ TO ALL . XXX
The didges self has been making have been coming along pretty well and will take some photos and put on here tomorrow OK...BIG ( healing) BELTERS.....! smiles. XXX
THANK YOU ALL.....MAY ALL YOUR STARS INSIDE, SHINE WITH THE LIGHT THAT WILL CREATE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILES ON ALL THE FACES OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU MEET. TRUTH.

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

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.
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

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.
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.

ThE EAgLE
On rocky crags on mountain peeks
The white eagle sits looks and seeks.
Looking down on a land full of faith,hopes
he flys,swooping rising from cold broken slopes.
Taking his time to search through the here, reality
distinguishing good from bad in all his wisdom, he sees.
Crying out his shrill call that sends out cold sharp song.
Letting all around know his life has not been easy, now so strong.
He resides there in the still cold dark gray, always all knowing all seeing
The medicine he gives messages from spirit to walk with truth power in self and healing.
HORSE.....Forever Free
Of all the things I've ever seen,
Of all the dreams I've ever dreamed,
The finest sight that's come to me,
White horses wild beside the sea
They ran across the trackless sand
In that remote, forgotten land,
And in their running they were free
Beside the boundless, unchained sea.
They raced the first light of the day
And surged across a shallow bay
To feed at ease in grassy plains
With wind alone to groom their manes.
No barn or stable was their home.
No one could govern where they roamed.
They galloped on the fenceless tracts
With no ones burden on their backs.
And each swift horse was nature's child
At home on land forever wild,
And each wild horse was meant to be
At home on land forever free.
On rocky crags on mountain peeks
The white eagle sits looks and seeks.
Looking down on a land full of faith,hopes
he flys,swooping rising from cold broken slopes.
Taking his time to search through the here, reality
distinguishing good from bad in all his wisdom, he sees.
Crying out his shrill call that sends out cold sharp song.
Letting all around know his life has not been easy, now so strong.
He resides there in the still cold dark gray, always all knowing all seeing
The medicine he gives messages from spirit to walk with truth power in self and healing.

IN TO THE WILD.
Hi to every one. How are you all?
Just a quick update. Last night went to room early as the majority of the WWOOFERS (willing workers on organic farms) were what one would say , "pretty well oiled" due to the fact that the Wine was free and boy did it flow. At around 8.30 or so after spending over 2 hrs in the Kitchen cooking 20m meals or so, i went out for a break for 10 mins, only to arrive back in the kitchen to find complete and absolute mayhem, salads which looked like they had been attacked by a plague of locusts and worse, we usually decorate the plates with a SPRINKLING of pepper around the edges...a bit like a design on yer Cappuccino froth thingy ma jig, YEH the Pepper was around quarter of an inch thick and all over the plate, also COATING NEARLY ALL the salad..........well...... breathed in and said......WOULD YOU EAT THAT......THEN TURNED INTO GORDON RAMSAY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME....Kitchen tantrums huh. smiles.
So yeh, after all the guests had left, went off to me kip albeit shattered and feeling quite drained. Cedric, the French Skate boarder come "Gangster" hip hop kinda guy, also whom loves to listen to CLASSICAL MUSIC before sleeping ......he is genuine lovely guy, and has a very Big heart, said that MUST watch this film......IN TO THE WILD.
Directed by Sean Penn, the story is...(wont say much as for those whom not seen yet) about Chris a young Graduate in America in the 1990s I think, whom basically decides to cut all ties and heads of into the wilderness, to find......himself, happiness and AND, and so on............A TRUE STORY THAT WILL RING BELLS AND TOUCH YOUR SOULS. PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN......YOU MUST. Thank YOU ALL.
SHE IS ALL THESE THINGS.
She sits alone on a chair
collecting memories,
Vestiges tracing ghostly
outlines on her selves.
Trying hard to recapitulate,
but losing, glimpses, sparks
still igniting, flashing periods
of light, of time.
The bell rings in her heart
reverberating, sending waves
of the ethereal strands through
this time to the next.
Opening her eyes she sings the
lyrics that are intelligent,
poetic and steeped in references
to history and Mythology.
Romantic yet dark, she is all
these things.
Namaste . xxxx
LOVING YOU ALL SO MUCH. THANKING YOU ALL SO MUCH .
