Exploring

To Blossom

"On the Tree of Life 

there are very few flowers in the beginning;

but now,

 the blossom time has come

and all the flowers must turn to fruit."

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 

 

Just Looking

Is there a book

about how animals and their people

can heal their emotional wounds together?

 

Yes, I see you have got it -

"Your Animal

Your Soul Mirror" 

by Tammy Billups, Bear & Company, Rochester, Vermont

Inner Traditions 2025 

 

I have so many new and deep healing books,

but the Profile page is too full to add more to my list.

 

But I found this

to truly be honest, tender and deeply healing:

"The HEALING PATH, A Memoir and an Invitation"

by the clinical psychologist and Mystic, James Finley.

Orbis Books Mary, New York 10545

I have read this twice and watched his interviews

and podcast, Turning To the Mystics. 

 
 

Flowers Around Our Earth

 

I always wished to be there,

but we will visually, here and now, walk together.

 

Great gratitude and appreciation

for the beauty, joy, Love and blessings. 

  

All these photos received from David Glenn and Chris Canning,

yesterday, on April 17, 2026.

They are the retiring owners, superb Nursery man and his artist wife,

creators of the Lambley Gardens and Nursery,

in Ascot, Victoria, Australia. 

All of the landscape photos, taken this week, came from them.

 

The fabulous blue 'flowers around the earth' - my language - is 

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Nachtigall’ In German it means 'Nightingale'.

My Dappled Shadow

My dappled shadow

now slowly tracing

through all the changes,

all the new horizons

never seen or experienced,

how to know

how to go,

how to walk the path

when not racing through the sky,

she is the Lovely

dappled sunshine in my autumn life.

 

I ask the question, and we just walk-it, one step at a time. 

Yesterday, I was weeping as I wrote this little poem.

It was her 4th birthday, 

and we were together for 5 hours.

I feel deeply bonded with Lovely, (my name for her)

as she is beautiful, curious, quiet and shy.

 

For 30 day-time hours, over 7 weeks,

she has been my sole companion,

here in my home and garden.

I am being her interim casual foster-carer,

until she is ready to be fully re-homed.

This a quiet, 'safe place'

with the animal spirits of Poppy and Bobby,

growing tree-people and joyful nature spirits.

Blessings Be With You

 

With deepest gratitude for you
for your Love and wisdom
and for friendship, loyalty and mentorship,
honesty and integrity, patience
and especially for truth-telling.
 
I was always inspired by your creativity,
sheer inventiveness, and practicality 
with vision, planning and perspective,
discernment, guidance, humor and goodness.
 
You led the way, with ideas, insights,
fairness, commitment and trustworthiness.
 
It was your kindness, caring, helpfulness,
the resilience, courage and bravery
in so many physical and emotional challenges,
which was always illuminating to me,
who came along to see 
your faithfulness and generosity of spirit.
 
You were always such a good character,
with empathy and perception.
Many friends valued your listening ear,
and you were certainly deeply loved.
 
I wish I called you Dad for longer.
I miss you so farewell for now,
with my warm embrace, 

affection and fondest love. 
May peace and all blessings be with you.

 

 

 

 

  

Sweet Blue Flowers

So forget-me-not my little flowers

sweet lights of blue along the way

let us all be sweet and kind today.

 

Yes I remember you this day 

as these smiling 'weeds' greet me

from a place in long grass beside the lake. 

 

 

 

Come Into My Garden

Welcome Dear Ones,  

these times are strange

and things are not at all the same
but what brings me cheer right here and now
is that these Ixias are flowering.

The colours are most glorious.

I am most grateful that the sun

has come to brighten the hearts of many.

I share this colour,

this wonderful warmth with you

dear friend, wherever you are this day

my heart sends love to you.

 

This Ixias photo with a note to you, came from my blog

Pink Love Shining, posted on November 2, 2020 when it was springtime.

See my Profile to go to my other blogs.

 

Now, it is the last day of Summer, here in The Adelaide Hills,

where there is drought and long heat waves.

I will be writing in these coming days as we start Autumn.

Peace and Love to you

Bee 

 

 

Oh Hello Kookaburra

Oh Hello Kookaburra,

visiting our local tree and just previously

greeting this morning so merrily.

 

Are you here to awaken the new day

and to highlight improvements along the way.

Seems to me to be,

a lovely sign to say, 'Keep Going',

while you welcome more potential

by always looking to the bright side.

With my deep appreciation, love and blessings

I give to you these golden flowers.

The Gnomes Know The Way

How good is this?

A clean new path

where there is no litter in the grass.

It is a call to walk upon

all that's been and all that's gone

as all the rains have washed it clean

and life is as enticing as it has always been.

 

So here we go along our way.

The morning light is welcoming

and wherever we go there we are

and whatever we call echoes back

so yes,

let's just keep going along this track.

 

All is well without a map

one step and then the next

view the pictures and skip the text,

life is calling and the sky is bright

evening comes before the night.

 

The gnomes with me

are happily singing songs

to keep the pace and move along

so we all arrive before the day is gone.

 

Just look around and know the way

every one has a guide

and as this year unfolds 

many surprises will arrive

so just keep on breathing to stay alive.

Hello Bee

'Oh Hello Bee',  said the little bee

as it landed on the blue chicory flower.

'Oh Joy, how wonderful is this!

We have flowers this year,

after some seasons without reasons,

when these herbal plants disappeared.' 

 

'Previously, we counted the petals

to follow the time of day.

The numbers were different on each flower,

and some flowers would even close for a sleep.

This colour is so glorious.

Today there are only a few blooms

I will call tomorrow.

I think I will ask for a flower message,

so there is more we may come to know.

Fly on little bee',  I said.

 

Just a note to mention:

'Chicory is the flower of assimilation."

The flowers of Chicory open at 7am and close at midday.
