Return Gift

 In small crumbs

Or big boulders

Pieces of my heart 

Come back to me.

Bruised and trampled 

Worn and tired

But with wide smiles 

For All to see.


They return to their source 

To make me complete & whole 

Wandering all those years and miles

To realise -

Stillness was their only goal.





A New Year Letter

 My Beloved Children,


This I wish for you:

A future of Self Love and Self Care - because all springs of Life & Joy,  are born in this....

Love for your youthful, lithe and strong body - and the pure freedom of enjoying days of robust health and boundless energy.

An open and adventurous mind -  aware of the magic in mystery and mysterious that surrounds us - everywhere and all the time. A mind that heeds the world and its words but holds foremost its own counsel.

In a courageous heart that realises that  life's alive, richer in taking risks  pushing one's own boundaries - with ease and in laughter, but that the capacity to suffer pain is integral to experiencing joy - Yin & Yang govern our world and also inner selves 

A Will that is resolute and strong - which recognises that ease & comfort only begets apathy & slumber - that the truly worthy is earned by persistence and hard work of love

A conscience that is alert and alive and your own inner guide & a constant companion, alerting you if you stray from who you wish to be

And finally a spirit that remains childlike in wonder - light and bright,  serene and soaring, unquelled by any stormy seasons or unfazed by an occasional rainbow.

I sit by the sea writing this Wish - Letter for You Both as we get ready to cross another threshold into a New Year.

Lots and lots of love

Mama
