Whirling Dervish

-
Tight and slow with winter chill
We were received into creation.
Music strummed our lighted limbs.
We were Venus and Mars.
Earth centered our whirl and we warmed.
Our hearts opened into ‘yes.’

Empty as space and full as eggs,
Spinning chakras of a dance studio.
Crying at the voice of the ‘call of the soul,’
Joyously answered.
Creatures of earth en-souled.
We remembered the big bang
Back when we were stars,
Sneezing planets into being.

Orbits force spiraled energy,
Like old dusters we spun away the junk,
Opening our minds to catch the fractal light.
He channeled stars and I could hear.
Mercury spoke where language faltered.
We became ourselves again, as light.

Some were sick and wild with homecoming,
Others danced their lifetimes of spinning.
Spinning tops, laughing, falling, followed -
A comets tail arced the room.
White lights whirled above and below,
Spinning colours of red, blue and violet,
Scent of flowers, bread and even fish. 
All perfect in the dream of end’s beginning.

My eyes burned after,
I was spent.
Silently, still, Moon illumines soul’s dream.
We created and destroyed a universe.
Our All, folded back into void’s rose.
Black holes retrieving the day,
Spinning the dreams of another universe.

How To Connect With Your Higher Self

-

We are entering a stage of human consciousness that is very individual and requires less direction. Human development no longer depends on gurus and outside helpers. It is up to each individual to access the power of a personal authority that works in loving consideration of all.  Why do we need a higher self? Connecting to a sense of higher guidance is more important then ever as social media and TV influencers tell us what to buy and how to think. Everyone's idea is presented as the best idea ever. Advertisers promote themselves as the authority on just about everything. The consequences of our decisions are ours to carry alone. So we need to ensure we are leading our lives from a broad and considered perspective. Attuning to a higher self can increase the wisdom available for each decision made. Over time, our trust in ourselves as decision makers can grow. Where is the higher self? There is a dimension just outside of ordinary reality containing the very best versio

My Medicine Box - Finding Resilience in Challenge

Anyone who read my very first blog post on this site back in 2014, will know that I had some trouble adapting to apartment life. Readers may have wondered whether I would be able to sustain it. Well, I did—for a while. In fact, I lasted seven years—a lot longer than I thought I would.  Seven is a mystical number that expresses the energy of learning through experience. This kind of learning isn't always comfortable, and often involves sacrifice. It took time for me to grow comfortable with the idea of relinquishing the family home, and all the stuff I'd accumulated. I grieved for my big house, even though I knew intuitively that I was moving forward. As I reduced my physical load to a density that my new apartment could hold, my spirit expanded. I felt free enough from domestic distractions to be able to focus on my creative work, and my healing from PTSD; which I felt were inextricably linked.  But when I realised how noisy my new home was, I wondered if I could focus.

The Poetic Portraits Project

The Poetic Portraits Project  Poetry Anthology It was the easiest pitch I've ever made. I was invited to write a short sentence that encapsulates how I feel about ageing. Now I could have gone two ways. Eighteen months prior, I had been diagnosed  with osteoarthritis of one kneecap, and a cyst inside the other one. So on a physical  level, suddenly age was catching up with me for the first time. My dance teaching career was over, and I was still struggling with knee rehab. But rather than  hobbling out a pitch about disintegration,  I focussed on what I perceived to be the meaning of my ailment. For many years, I'd struggled to juggle dance with writing, and the knee diagnosis freed me from that struggle; allowing my writing to take centre stage – finally. So my pitch was simple: I'm just about to peak!  It worked. I got in. Successful applicants were invited to attend a full-day poetry workshop at Yarra Ranges Civic Centre, where we would produce pieces of poetry for a pro
