It Looks Soooo Crazy!?!:)

Went there again earlier on..its either something about the time of year (it feels extra magical) or because i am now back at work after 2 weeks off so need more nature time, but i can't get enough of the place at the moment! Quiet approach, no golfers again..straight to the shrine...got out the spade and did more levelling off of the circle..in doing this I uncovered a few pebbles that had been lodged in the clay since....well I don't know...since the last ice age? well, ages anyway...i held these cool to the touch smooth pebbles in my hand and marvelled at them..prob the first time they had nbeen touched by human hands...i could picture ancient times as i held them....magic stones!! anyway, rather than just cast them away i made a little circle from them at the border of a levelled area...i did a lot of mooching tonight..a slow moving meditation on the place..how it looked and seemed from different places within the circle. It suddenly struck me how it is really taking on power and energy this place..it looks like magic happens there...i think if someone found it now they would be struck by this place...depending on their own mental/spiritual outlook they could be freaked out/interested/calmed..maybe even sit down for a bit and chill...i wonder what the foxes think of it when i am not there...i feel they are aware of me..they probably think i am a strange animal.lol...i then thought..blimey! what am i doing..flattening it out and the like..well...what i am doing is making it comfortable...comfortable to meditate in..to lie in..to sit in...i think i will plant a lot of chamomile in it and have a chamomile lawn which would be pure heaven to lie down in and soak up! part of the beauty of the place is the contrast between the surrounding natural chaos..the nettles/brambles/saplings/ivy/weeds/flowers etc..all a higgeldy piggeldy jumble and then all of a sudden, a clear circle area surrounded by herbs and fruit bushes and trees...with a sort of mud/straw hut off centre...with a crystal tied into a tree...and a circle of ice age pebbles on the floor....MAGIC ON!! LOVE THIS LIFE!!

taking the spade

Hi...just back from an evening foray to the nature place..i took a spade with me tonight as i am in the process of making the earth in the circle as flat as possible for proper comfortable lying down meditations..i parked up and crossed the field carrying my spade...and ahead of me were a gang of youths standing loosely in a group...i could tell they were stoned:) they were just sort of standing there..and obviously when i came into view it interrupted their communal vibe...after all a man with a purpose..large striding it in their direction carrying a spade! i was expecting a comment such as 'where are u going with your spade' but nothing..a couple of them looked out of the corners of their eyes..but that was it..i smiled as i walked and passed them by...carrying on my mission...no golfers tonight, so a quick dash over the gate, across the manicured lawns and into the undergrowth..swiftly to the place and ahhhhhhh...tranquility. i tied a crystal to a tree, i got this crystal as a present from a friend called Ju a while ago and thought it would be a good place to energise it, so it now hangs in the tree in the centre of my clearing!i did a bit of levelling..and then slowly observed the subtleness of nature around me. The rosebay willowherbs are about 10ft tall now..half the flowers gone..plenty of fluffy seeds about, and bees, tucking into the final flush of nectar..the sun was going down over in the west and its golden globe gave a warm burst of pleasant energy over the scene...it was getting to that point where the day dies and the night begins...i breathed in some more peace, then moved stealthily back thru the undergrowth, down to the golf course and towards home, minus the spade, i have left it there well hidden, the youths had gone..i got back into my car...and drove home..

Barefoot Doctor Book

I set off in my car with a carrier bag that contained a trowel, a bottle of water, some potting compost and a new sage plant in a small pot that cost me £2.00 from a garden centre. I parked in a supermarket carpark and was heading over to the river when on impulse, I called in at the charity shop...as i was walking in I was thinking what have i come in here for, anyway, rather than just walk back out I walked over to the books, and the third book my eyes lazily scanned I saw a book by the Barefoot Doctor! as i follow him on twitter I bought the book, its called 'handbook for the urban warrior..a spiritual survival guide'. I then carried on to the river, through the undergrowth, over the railway and to my secret nature place. I did a bit of clearing yesterday, to re-affirm the circle and it was really pleasant to enter this circle again today, as the sun was shining, a new book in my bag and a healing herb to plant! happy days!! I planted the sage inbetween a blackcurrant bush and a buddleia...and aked its spirit to settle in, and that i would nurture it until it found strength to join in the party that my other plant and tree spirits are having in my hallowed nature shrine! Sitting down on an old bucket type plant pot I read bits of the book..just up my street, the energy of the bits i read suited my mood and the sunny day..energy all good and all around..i breathed it in and gave thanks...CHI!! as the brarefoot doctor would say..by the way..if u are on twitter..u can follow the doc there..at @BarefootDoctor.... and i am known as @worldtreeman...blessed be:)
