*~*~*~*The Land Where the Bong Tree Grows*~*~*~*~*

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

I can't take us there though; not got it in me... [wistful]

Where's Paps?

We need GlitterFairy.. and Melsy.. there are others whos names escape me.. .. and ^anybody else who fancies relaxing in the balmy, spiritually renewing Bong Land.

so long since I have been in the realms of the yurt The winds of change at the solstice blow the pollen away and freshen the sleeping areas. The down bedding hanging frmo the trees is refreshed and cleansed. Dreams of growth and ripening of ideas abound. Baskets of fruits await for us to smear our mouths with their bounty and opluence. We enjoy the earth's fecundity. I bring berry jam and spelt pancakes for all to enjoy, with yoghurt from the soft downy goats that gaze from the trees. Much love to all in the yurt x

Iris I am calling you the psychic one as I just went out and bought goats milk yoghurt and berries in rl!

I am feasting on yours hear and the pancakes are scrummy. I am also building a fire tonight and roasting our veg from the yurt garden and polytunnel, large red peppers, tomatoes, asparagus and mushrooms along with new potatoes and fresh peas.

The children are dancing and singing tonight and preparing for the festival next weekend.

glitter - Don't know about psychic but I do get the urge to post specific things sometimes. The roasted vegetables are wonderful.
The children's dancing is magical. My LOs dream of going to glastonbury (or is that just me ) we'll have to make to with dancing and making our own music in the drizzle at home

Oh Iris I was going to go but ran out of money after booking our holiday. Next year! Definitely. Maybe.

The ashes of the fire are being scattered in the woods for the trees to soak up the potash goodness.

Everyone is sleepy today so I have put up hammocks in the trees and am making sherbet to cool us all and ice cream with fruits from the alpine strawberries in the mountains.

A woman sits on a rock
she has no form

the wind catches her essence
and blows her into tomorrow

little glimmers of light shine
casting sparks that catch the sky

waves form
and what shows as foam
is the beginning of bubbles
each full of stories
of time before form

Blessings to All =

Paps it is you on that rock!!! How on earth are you? How are the little trees and your young saplings?

I am off surfing today with the dolpins whose essence will make me more graceful and able to stand the waves. Afterwards I am lighting a bonfire on the beach and lying looking at the stars and listening to the mer people.

The wind has released my essence
my water mind is back

the mer people and dolphins rejoice
as I join you glitter
in star gazing and mer listening

the youn saplings are a joy to behold as are the little trees

i am blessed and blessed Be

xxxx

We are all blessed Paps!

It was lovely star gazing night and I enjoyed talking with you once more friend. Glad all is well with you and yours.

Papillon - your poem made me cry. love and light to you all x

humbled to have touched your Spirit as tears touched your face (((Iris))) and lovely to see you here

I am back, so glad to be back, I went away from myself and this wonderful place... I was ashamed of myself but my personal pride and journey begins anew in a woman who is weightless and wonderful inside and out.

Was wonderful to talk to you Glitter, and bond anew under the stars

My soul sisters we travel far, but return to our home where we are Great and Divine , centred in the flow of all that is good. Accepting our blessings, and continue to EXPECT OUR MIRACLES to come to us. We choose to walk our sacred paths of Ascended
Consciousness in this space and in our lives, and once we KNOW that we are part of our own healing, we begin to STAND and HOLD ourselves in our own CENTRE OF POWER.

My power chakra hums in my solar plexis, it sings to my sisterhood and to my brotherhood of remembrance and weightlessness

.

Weightlessness.

It's all a question of weightlessness. There is light and there is light. One kind of light illuminates the shadows, and another kind of light illuminates the spirit. Weightlessness has to do with your mind. Your body is your mind. It is matter. It has weight and substance. When you move into higher consciousness, when your soul becomes illuminated for all time, you will be in a state of weightlessness. When you move into emptiness, you move into that process. You begin to let go of the body. You let go of the mind and its control over your thoughts, your emotions, and your physical self. When a leaf leaves its mother tree, when it floats off the branch and into the air-it is as if its spirit takes flight. In a sense it has let go of its connections with its body, with its larger physical self, and has moved into the source of power. Weightlessness is learning to be without form.

quick hijack of sorts. Been thinking about you Paps and Glitter the last couple of days and wondered if you'd flown MN as i've not seen you on here lately. So, just popping in to say 'hi' and hope you are both well xx

Hello DelGirl. I am still here and can be found in lone parents from time to time and very occasionally elsewhere. Nice to see you here.

I am having a BBQ on the deck tonight with veggie kebabs from paps garden and a little fish.

The fireflys are doing a dance for us and the smoke is curling into the sky showing us happy sky pictures of our new renewed lives and spirits.

Paps, I have changed all my emails and so you can now find me at alihandscombatmacdotcom. Yes at last I am a mac girl too! Write to me old friend.

Hi DelGirl How are you and your baby doing? She is probably not so baby now!!

I am flying today above the clouds, I can see the fireflys down below me, like stars on the Earth

The air is soft against my face and I begin to close my eyes and dream in hypnotic pleasure as the clouds drift over my body, creating sensations that stroke my entire being.

Am in a energetic mood here whilst not in rl.

So am surfing with the dolphins today and then going for a run on the beach. At the end my pony waits and we gallop off with the wind in our hair. I need wind and air today and am getting it here.

I need the nail bar today, after a mischievous treatment by the pixies which they assured me would look fab, in fact looks like I have white out, twink on my nails!

So I am off to be varnished, recoated and fabulous

Then massage mmmm

how strange I was thinking of you all today log on andthe bong trees are on active what a coincidence. I hope you have all kept the gothic library up to date I misse soaring with the eagles peace

Me and glitterfairy, we been raising our individual and collective energies gothicmama, its drawing you in, calling my soul sisters to visit this place

The library is well, the outer world does not diminish nor sully its storehouse of wisdom X

I am in there reading about the antarctic gothicmama. Nice to see you here and the eagles miss you too.

Paps, I too need the nail bar and will join you in a massage as I am in need of relaxation.

Then today I am at the lake looking for glittery stones to put in a display and enjoying a shower form the waterfall. It is strange how I am currently drawn to water.

Hello all - just a brief visit to the soothing realms of Bong land

Papillon - do you channel by any chance?

what do you have in mind Iris

I astral travel and have contacted past on spirits. My energy is very alert right now... the solar Eclipse is in Leo this month... I am Leo rising ROAARRRRRRR! And I began not 5 minutes ago my monthly menses.

I need a sleep right now tho and catchup on some dream time

climbs up and crawls into the Bong thistledown tree

No idea about my astrology but am feeling a little restless. I am a LEO so guess it is my time of year in any case.

Oh well. Will try and get some sleep in some thistledown as well.

Am going to try for a happy day tomorrow playing in a stream with my kids near a pond where they will take jam jars to collect wildlife which we set free when it has been examined.

make sure you don't kick or elbow now love

although in the Bong tree, I sleep uninterrupted and wake only when the sleep deficit sand timer says its time to wake

here is some stuff about the Leo Eclipse I found...

Because this is a New Moon in the sign of Leo, the solar eclipse will pack a double powerful punch where new beginnings are concerned. New Moons are all about making that cut from the past and moving on to bigger, better pastures.

This is especially so in the dramatic sign of Leo, which is all about enhancing creativity and indulging in romantic pleasure and the creative arts - music, painting, singing, dancing, you name it...When this conjuncts your natal Moon AND Saturn, what you will instinctively feel is an intense desire to get along with all the Leo natal energy dying to break loose BUT at the same time, there will be heightened sense of limitation as to what you are emotionally able to achieve. Your emotional need to shine like a proud mama lioness will be felt nonetheless.

Saturn conjuncts the New Moon transit will add heightened feelings of restriction and limitations... though these will be somewhat offset by the trine aspect with Venus and Neptune. You will be able to resonate with the fiery energies of Venus and this should manifest itself in greater desire to start a new cycle in socializing or making new contacts. Your sense of aesthetic appreciation and idealism will also be greatly enhanced at this point and Saturn should be able to add as a source of strength, of added stabilizing influence to ground any Neptune delusions/illusions from going overboard.

All in all, this is a great time to do what you consciously want to, indulge in any forms of creative endeavors, do something which you are passionate about (esp. so since Leo rules the Heart) or just simply feed the Inner Child and learn to be a Child all over again...this is a time to focus on your own individual needs instead of tending to the needs of others.

Thank you Paps.

I move through the forest like a ghost walker at night watching my way by the light of the fireflys.

I listen to my nightingale friend who knows I hear her song.

At the centre is a lake and the moonlight shows a path for those who wish to bathe in her cool water at midnight dappling the light and spraying silver drops as they splash gently in the dark beneath.

Today I feel calmer after my moonlit moments and I am in the library reading.

The LEO writing paps has stirred me as it reflects very nearly my current moods. I am at a new threshold in life both romantically and at work which is exciting and challenging and next week go for a new job. So it is all about new beginnings and a fresh start for me now.

sorry to push off after asking a question (very rude of me) but DS had a particularly violent and protracted night terror

Paps - I'm doing an open to channel course soon and wondered of your experiences. Your wise words about the Leo moon explain a lot about the surges and urges in my life at the moment (though I'm a Sagittarius - I must have some Leo in there somewhere?)

I will bring my DSs to the lakes to splash and play with the dolphins and mer children this evening to tire them before bed. I will let them drink from crystal pools by the rock rose and hope this will soothe the night for DS1.
