Fire crackling through my veins so I bristle to leave
The hearth stone cold,
Abandon home.
No sustaining cauldron of richly bubbling stew to nourish
Starving mouths and bones that crave flesh.
I stir secretly that fire behind things,
Seen only in fleeting shadows that flare and flicker and then reform so they wonder if that glare
Was really there or just
A trick of the light,
A lie of the dark.
I crave the backward blast of rocket engines and the forward thrust of open furnace doors,
A razor blaze so sharp there are no edges.
Burn it all down
Burn it all
Burn it
Burn
Would I know desolation in
Softly smouldering ashes and crisp blistered skin,
Fierce loss and cold regret?
Or would my blackened lips crack
A smoking smile at no thing left
But a pure spark
Catching a life?

A coastal walk revealed something magical 🌊
As the sea spray rose, shapes began to form, first dancing figures… then a face. Zooming in, I saw the laughing Old Woman of the Sea looking back at me. Take a look… 👁️

As we leave the Easter weekend, this is what my heart is singing:
"We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side"
- Lyrics from "Side" by Travis
Full Moon in Libra today🌕
A moment of completion and rebalancing.
Where do you feel out of alignment?
What’s disrupting your sense of harmony - fear, relationships, boundaries?
Listen to your body and intuition. They already know the way back.

The natural world is always in conversation with you.
When you’re grieving, it shows you life continues.
When you feel alone, it keeps you company.
Whatever needs healing, the earth offers its quiet balm 🌿
