Rainy Relief!

Rainy Relief! 

Thurs 23 Jan.

Greetings to You Good Fellow Travellers on The Universal Journey.

Well, after suffering  such heatwaves that seem to melt my body as well as my brain! - we are having some welcome rainy relief. I can only hope with fingers crossed however, that at this time of year, Mother Nature holds back on the deluges that she most commonly subjects us to. 

At least some areas here in Qld will now find this ‘Moisture from the Heavens’ preferable in staving off the other summer visitor – bushfires. Funny how it creates such a polarity, swinging from one to the other: that we can become anxious about the too opposite extremes of Nature - either flood or fire together in our southern summertimes. Other Aussie southern states of course are in need of further relief from their heated torments and it would be wonderful if you kind people could direct some healing and supporting energies to Perth and surrounds, South Australia, Victoria and NSW as always. 

And on the flip side (of our globe, almost literally!) there are our US neighbours who are suffering great and unimaginable cold, ice and snow! May relief come your way very soon too. 

As I write here I remember the opening stanzas of a poem with which I will leave you to ponder. I wrote this some years ago as I journeyed around our wonderous country, and which is included in my poetry books:

“ Songs of the Great Australian Spirit

‘Tis a song that I will sing you

Of the Great Australian Spirit,

Of the wilderness a-plenty

In the land of Southern Cross .

Come and gather close around me

Join in humming to the rhythm

Of the Great Australian Spirit

That breathes from this land I love .

The Calling of the Wilderness .

Listen closely all my dear ones

To the many changing rhythms

To the many changing heartbeats

Of this land that we are part of .

Seasons coming , seasons parting

Fill the neverending circle

That encloses all of nature

That encloses all of us .  

 For we are part of nature

And responsible as guardians,

Tender ever-loving guardians

Of this land that I do love .

Feel your heartbeat as it quickens

Feel the swelling of your lifeblood

As you sink into the cradling

Of the arms of this pure land .

Let yourself be swept up by it

Let your feet be free to wander

Let your heart beat light and strongly

To the wonder and the grace . “

So go well and safe and surely as your footsteps take you onward
