the need for peace

If I am honest, i am finding it all very mad at the moment. as i was en-route to my nature refuge earlier these thoughts were ruminating in my head! what do i want? peace i think...but maybe in humans of a certain temperament the points at which they interact with the world become too 'hot' or sensitive, or overloaded....then a point is reached where 'everything' is too much...sometimes in this state the whole structure seems brittle and in danger of collapse of some sort. hence, the need for peace. a retreat. the world seems too mad so a retreat is sought....well, i have been going to my nature place for years now...and earlier i just lay back...smelled the scent of blossoms in the air...watched the gnats weaving in the air...without thought, without reflection.just lay back and soaked up the earth energy...it is pure...it is what i need right now. peace to all, and thanks for reading.

Moving with the green gods

Ahhhhhhhh, its back again....at its best..green, and strong, and vital, and lively! no wonder we used to dance around maypoles and make love out in he fields in latter days! Its early May! nature is totally medicinal....i have visited my secret nature place a few times lately and the place is hidden again as the leaves are out on all the trees. this year, i am viewing the place anew. i know it so well yet can still be amazed in many ways on every visit. for example....at least 80 berries are forming on my 4 yr old blackcurrant bush. ......my mountain ash sapling is now exactly my height! (nurtured from seedling!)i have noticed many new horse chestnut trees growing in he vicinity (dropped by squirrels i think)watching with wonder the way the ones growing in shadier places have more spread out leaves at he top, to maximise sunlight! everywhere it flows, this seemingly effortless natural intelligence. an area is cleared slightly, thus enabling a flush of life for one of the species...they come and go...flourish and retreat...a game, a dance....but it varies, experiments, flows....and works damn well. we can, of course, learn from it...we need to....if we do, we get happier...we get freer...we start to see and feel real magic....the magic of flow...balance....not to win the lottery or attract loads of money, but to be free, vital and ever evolving! peace and love, and early may vibes be with u all:)
