Such sadness today. Sptember 1989 my girlfriend, was taken from me by Valerie when she was pregnant with daughter, Sarah. Their abduction was not & will not be investigated. The angels tell me Johanna lives on heavy guilt & is considering suicide because of authorities gross negligence & obstruction of Justice. I don't want Sarah to experience that. Please pray 4 my family.

I believe Johanna has passed. Early Sunday morning I working in the garden & I kept seeing the shadow of an eagle soaring above me. I looked up & it was a flock of vultures circling above me, telling me death was near.

A few hours later a raven landed in front of me 3 times, symbolizing a journey into the unknown was near. The sun had double rainbow rings around it. Later I saw 7 rainbow dragon clouds. (Local lore). To me dragons are angelic creatures aiding our…

Consciousness

Consciousness is what we pay attention to. When we reclaim our consciousness from mind (the maker of mental movies), we reclaim our freedom to be who we are.

Where the sun doesn't shine & the flowers droop

When we’re not present, we’re absent. When we’re absent, WHERE ARE WE?

It’s a place the sun doesn't shine when we’re not there, a place…

The Little Prince

We see correctly with the heart. Although age, shape and form are seen in the world, they are NOT who we are. They are EXPRESSIONS of who we are. They are not the same thing.…

Under The Bed

What is it that already exists but until we see it hasn't come into being? Like my good shoes under the bed?

When we take away the sound, shape and form of everything, we have not nothing but what some call "stillness." It holds everything that is tangible, see-able and nameable.

When we pay attention to the silence between words or notes of music we catch a glimpse of it. This image points to it by the mood it…

The Spot



There's a place inside us where we're connected to the things we love. It calls to me like beautiful things do.  Aranjuez takes me there.

Waiting

Allowing others to speak first what's on their mind in their own time shows respect for them. Sometimes it's enough to just listen to the silence.

Have You Forgotten

Have you forgotten about me

And all those with me and those after us

Few knew us except for those we called Brothers

Some of us came to be in the name of Freedom

Those who followed us fought to keep that Freedom

Have you forgotten that we were the ones who never returned

Never got that last chance to say we love our Country,

We all fought under our Free and Flying Flag that we love

We fought so our…

Box Jellyfish catching fish

Box jellyfish with a small fish caught in one of its tentacles. Despite the fish's best efforts at escape, the jellyfish ensnares it in more of its venomous tentacles, to be digested later. Box jellyfish are one of the most…

So many people painting rocks with ladybugs ships and everything one could imagine... but I painted a few that just held words that hold meanings for me such as Hope, Faith, Courage, and Smile.. today one special little Guy with a beautiful Smile found the Smile Rock...

Through this group I have witnessed Families…

There has been a question I have wrestled with for many years.. As I get older I get tired of relocating this creature that many times creates frustration during the growing season...

So now I pose this question to all of you

What is the benefits of leaving slugs to roam free in gardens??

Do they really have a purpose other than they are a living thing..

This morning I found a young one slithering up the metal pole to my hummingbird feeder..

If you know their…

The Anzac on the Wall

I wandered thru a country town, 'cos I had some time to spare,

And went into an antique shop to see what was in there.

Old Bikes and pumps and kero lamps, but hidden by it all,

A photo of a soldier boy – an Anzac on the Wall.

'The Anzac have a name?' I asked. The old man answered 'No'.

The ones who could have told me mate, have passed on long ago.

The old man kept on talking and, according to his tale,

The photo was unwanted…

Spark Plugs

Giving ourselves permission to be who we are fires up our spark plugs!

I knew the poppies were for our fallen soldiers, but I had no idea of the true meaning!

Today I saw a man selling poppies stop a lady and asked if he could reposition her poppy. While doing so he told that lady she should wear the poppy on their right side; the red represents the blood of all those who gave their lives, the black represents the mourning of…
