bong land sounds good to me.

teething. ugh.

fransmom · 02/07/2007 22:53

had some bad news tonight so have come to rest and think a while in the land where the sun always shines and there are strong trees to lean against

Papillon · 03/07/2007 07:02

suggest placing the bad news in the good soil here fran then water with care and watch the buds grow

glitter I will write you an email sometime in the near future

today in the land I am still on the island of dancing hammocks and sand. I will travel inland on a canal barge to visit mother earth who resides in the centre

glitterfairy · 03/07/2007 07:59

fransmom, paps suggestion is excellent. Perhaps we should start a garden for sprouting good from bad? I have started by planting a few large seeds of my own and comandeered a corner dedicated to them. I am calling it the garden of goodmorrow. There is a very comfortable hammock or three under some trees ready for meditating in as well and a wonderful coloured fountain.

Papillon · 03/07/2007 08:42

I have afew seeds to add to the garden I will help them grow in their own sunlight and not others.

theUrbanDryad · 03/07/2007 12:20

i have far too many seeds. maybe i should start my own patch...

glitterfairy · 03/07/2007 14:55

Feel free we will have a patchwork. Indeed I used to do quilting and it is said that within the threads and patterns lie a womans sadness and woes.

These woes will grow though and flower, blossom and teach us that through our losses we learn the most.

fransmom · 03/07/2007 22:27

in the garden of goodmorrow, the seeds are already sprouting;(i saw this as i read your post paps and gf!)there is talk of donations to a charity in memory of hillls she is now free to wander in the land where the fair trees grow and the sun shines away all our sorrow.

Papillon · 04/07/2007 02:36

Have just cleared a load of braken and dead wood and have planted seed balls. Stored inside each ball is a seed that will grow like a babe in the womb. This means that I can wander off and not worry about watering my seeds every day

Wandering off now to pick Pink Ladys and enjoy the sun on my face

glitterfairy · 05/07/2007 07:47

The roses are also out in full bloom and the smell is wonderful I have dried a batch of rosebuds for tea later on to take me back to June and July in one cup. (rosebud tea is great in rl as wel)

I am looking at the veggie plot and my mouth is watering at the abundant produce especially the many pea plants will they ever make it into the pot or will the children wander down here and eat them all straight away. I will make a broad bean salad when they are ready.

gothicmama · 05/07/2007 21:12

am clearing out the gothic library school is out forever so will cleanse the library and keep it as a place of refuge in the winter. I am off to soar with the eagles and feel free

fransmom · 05/07/2007 21:54

i will run with the wolves and then fly with the barn owl who lives in the tree

Papillon · 06/07/2007 02:55

Bravo Gothicmama on completely school and on keeping the library warm and knowledgeable

I am sitting in my heart today. Having visualisations, bonding and loving my arteries. Feeling the network of sisterhood, motherhood that the heart expresses and find true feeling within. I have never sat in my heart before and it feels like a room that needs some inner loving and action from myself first so that it can vibrate out and heartlessness can fall away from mine and yours.

glitterfairy · 06/07/2007 07:56

Well done Gothicmamma and the library is beginning to sparkle and shimmer. I am looking forward to curling u with a good book there this autumn.

Here in the lands the sun shines warmly and today there si an air of stillness and waiting. You can feel the apples ripening and the soft fruit in the garden blooming along with the roses. I am picking peas, mange tout, courgettes and carrots and the children are gathering wild strawberries and loganberries.

I will ask paps for some honey later from her bees and have got some cream skimmed off from milking our lovely jersey cow "sparky" then we cna have a feast.

THis afternoon I plan to spend in the hammock listening to the insects and the sounds of summer wiht a distant sound of children laughing and playing building dams in the stream.

gothicmama · 07/07/2007 11:07

I am in teh sun today bonding with the world this one and our real one I need to reconnect to what is important to me and build strength for the next steps of teh journey. My eagle friends are soaring above me asI sit in the wooded glade where at night the fairies come to play

glitterfairy · 08/07/2007 10:32

I too am sitting in the sun today and resting here as in rl things are so busy!

I am watching the baby birds learning to fly out of their nests uncaring as to their swift plummets down from the trees onto the green soft grass below. Their parents are worrying away that their young ones are safe but ehre in the lands there are no threats and it is safe to take risks.

Papillon · 11/07/2007 08:47

Feel the need for cleansing today after too much chocolate and other indulgences. So will drink alot of water from the spring and take a long leisurely walk among the trees in the forest. Fruits and salads for dinner on the deck while watching the sun set.

glitterfairy · 13/07/2007 08:18

Hello Paps.

Am riding today on the prairie and having a picnic lunch in the long grass. My horse is very frisky as he has been eating his head off all summer and doing a little running with me but no riding. He has a big grass belly and needs a few good gallops.

Papillon · 17/07/2007 20:42

I seek dry places away from the teeming rains NZ is receiving. I see a white cloud tinged in pink, it carries me away from the grey clouds and transports me to warm fires

gothicmama · 17/07/2007 21:09

I too am in the prairie seeking a wild horse who will carry off to far off places,I linger in the cool clear prairie and fell the breeze upon my cheek

glitterfairy · 23/07/2007 18:20

NZ and everywhere PAps but no matter the lands rain at night to keep everything green and sun sun sun in the day!

I am on a hammock listening to crickets and cicadas in the lazy summer heat which is shimmering off the grass and trees.

Papillon · 29/07/2007 20:04

Read about the torrential rains UK has had this summer, Father Sky is crying so rain time comes for mother earth.

It is shoe day for me today, my shoes here let me walk on walls, ceilings, take big leaps in small spaces and small leaps in big spaces. I can walk on the lake then climb the cliff beyond to enjoy the sunset on my rock

fransmom · 30/07/2007 00:23

hi all!

i am sitting on a swinging hammock, by the sweet meadow grass and reading a book. the sun is shining and the bees are making a pleasant droning sound whilst collecting nectar for honey

Papillon · 10/08/2007 23:10

My teeny bach has been converted and walls taken down and new holes of insight and vista created. I invited my bongian pals to visit for a glass of perssimon champagne and mandarins and nuts from the bongian gardens.

My own patch of garden is showing tender new shoots and grows with warmth and assurance.

In the garden the children play and laugh with the dogs and cats. The people enjoy the sun and the sound of the waves coming into shore.

Papillon · 13/08/2007 03:38

Glitterfairy where are you? Are you ok? I just mailed you and got daemon the return post man email for your hotmail.

Hope you okay and just rolled up in cashmere, or are you running and running and running and running and can't stop to type?!
