You are doing so well Glitterfairy - so aware, I am proud of you

I think tiredness is sapping my imagination atm... but yesterday was a good day and there is nothing like your own rhythm to remind oneself that life is good even if you miss Mum!

Was good to depend on her for afew weeks though and let some emotions and hormones come out, they needed to and it makes me feel alot more settled now and closer to DH.

I feel like soaking in the hotpools today. Tigermoth is being minded by our Tiger guide, learning to growl, prowl and swish his tail in the forest and baby paps is off with the dolphins for swimming practise.

After a soak I am going to wander up the windy track and visit the tree of spring - it is abit like the tree in the story "Little Foot" all covered in blossoms and special to everyone. I am going to breath in its splendid delicate blooms and nestle in the soft moss for 40 winks.

I have been reading abit about Creative Visualisation and it reminds me of what we are doing here in the Yurt.

It all combines in for me about thoughts and how we use them. Like the NOW thread where I rambled on excessively!! awhile back. And even the prayer thread thats been happening atm.

So many terms I for many years steered clear of like Grace, and pray can be used in non-religious ways with great effect and response

This morning the fairies gifted to me a dress made from the blossoms of the tree of spring. Its fragrance is ethereal and I now glide rather than walk.

The dress has wings and I will fly above the lands bringing the scent of spring to all who reside here, scattering soft petals upon the ground. They are edible and have magical qualities full of spring expectation.

Beautiful Paps. I started counselling today with womens aid and I spoke of you and our chats here. I told her of your images of breaking the heart and she was very struck.

So I am keeping my heart safe in here as well and thinking of my dream of blossom and spring. I have a picture of cherry blossom against a blue sky on the wall above my desk at work!

Strange coincidence hey!

I am stopping by your perfect blossom tree to smell the cherry scent and gaze mindfully at each single blossom and to take one piece away with me for the days to come. I will treasure that piece and wait until I create my new home where the first thing I am going to plant is a cherry blossom tree!

By the way Grace is a wonderful name and a wonderful thing!

i just wanted to say thanks paps for the invite back to Yurt. I'm going to try and concentrate my energies elsewhere [and more constructively than i have been doing of late away from MN, but i might call in here now and then. You are a clear voice of reason!

Papillon · 10/02/2006 08:00

Ruty Most welcome to pilgrimage through the lands of Yurt anytime, its an open space.

The Cherry Tree blossoms deeper into our lives, there is no coincidence when you walk the sacred path of energy and the hidden life. Yesterday I was given the book "Sexing the Cherry" to read.

Now the journey continues as the petals of the Tree of Spring unfold their poetic grace.

The cherry blossom tree attacks our senses not just in a visual way but in scent, in the rustle of the branches and in the spiritual sense it awakens.

Each perfect blossom speaks of hope and its abundance is heavy with the promise that life is optimistic and sometimes we get more than we ask for in every sense.

Moving on I see a wonderful crab apple tree with its so English pinky white blossom and an orchard of apple blossom. The sky is a deep blue behind the blossom and beneath the trees are daffodils glorious, golden and dancing in the all green grass. A path beckons me on and I see my golden stag and its mate smiling at me.

I sit and listen to the sounds of the birds and the rustling to the trees who spread their skirts of blossom and whose scent catches in my nostrils.

got carried away and pushed the blinking button twice!

Papillon · 13/02/2006 13:45

That was very beautiful Glitter and worthy of being repeated!

I am here for healing today (head cold and mastistis) - the elves have created blossom baths amongst the trees, marvellous for all manner of ailments, or simply to relax in. The elderflower is in bloom and much elder champagne in tall goblets is available to sup on.

The mist from the steaming baths curls around the orchard giving a quiet yet tropical ambience.

glitterfairy · 14/02/2006 21:12

Yippee elderflower champagne! AM a little tipsy but the elves are bringing me calming waters which take away headaches, mastitis and colds! The waters are drawn form the icy bubbling stream which gurgles past the bottom of the orchard.

Get better soon paps! Lots of love.

gothicmama · 15/02/2006 09:16

just popping in for some soothing and good company. feel very large and heavy today so am hoping to lounge in the meadow with the poppies and a glorious picnic whilst gothic child swims with the dolphins like the mergirl she is

Papillon · 15/02/2006 11:38

to be truely weightless in mind spirit and body try the blossom bubble bath. Some of the bubbles are very large so one can simply slip inside and go for a fragrant trip over the orchard and meadow before popping on request into which ever location and mindset you desire.

Feeling better, homeopath has been making me sweat and heal well

Papillon · 15/02/2006 11:54

when are you due gothicmama?

glitterfairy · 15/02/2006 19:40

Glad you are feeling better paps. Having a bit of a weepy day today. Saw my counsellor and we did some really good work together on anchoring and giving me a new way to get to sleep!

Here I have had a nail spa day and a facial as well as some aromatherapy. Am just about to dip into the blossom pool myself and refresh myself in petals.

gothicmama · 16/02/2006 21:26

In 6 weeks paps. Thanks for the tip Glitter it is truly devine to float around am feeling much more relaxed peace and hugs

gothicmama · 16/02/2006 21:27

sorry paps it was you who suggest the blossom and it seems to have worked for glitter

Papillon · 17/02/2006 11:03

glitterfairy · 20/02/2006 09:18

Hi everyone. Today is market day again and we have a huge selection of spring vegetables and a mountain of rhubarb! I am going to make rhubarb jam, pies and crumble for later.

There is a kids fair today as well because it is holidays here for my kids. There is an old fashioned carousel whose magic horses take the children into their fantasy worlds and fly them round the world twice in a flash!

HIya gm hugs right back!
