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.
