Keep on stepping

Go places this new day, where your heart will
Walk where you will and in the walking know
The way is yours
Allow for storms
At end of day, they’ll prove
Your heart was wise and your choice was good.

Give me joy in my heart

The smile on Wounded Child’s face was the smile of Life itself, and it stretched from ear to ear. It was the delighted grin of a young child who felt completely secure in her joy, and who was revelling in the mystery and mischief that is a gift to us all in our young years.

The hope of a new day

The year was 1966, and these events had passed before, but because time is not linear, there was no reason that they could not be lived again, in the hope that comes with a new day.

Messages are everywhere

I think the giant woman who came to Luton was telling me I need to carry my own case.

And so I opened it up and took out the rocks and the cobwebs and the skeletons.

And now I can carry it with ease and take responsibility for doing so 😊

Inspired by Akala, I wrote a new rhyme

The power is within me
 The power is mine
 The power is in me
 It's there to be mined
 The power is within me
 Not the power of the mind
 The power of the feminine
 A force of a kind
 Not the kind that recommends filial piety
 More akin to a female deity
 It's not like a film script
 Where it all falls into place
 It daunts and it challenges
 It gets in your face
 It's the power that is needed
 The power that is felt
 It's a power to be heeded
 To heal and to feel.
It's a force and a power 
and it is real 
 It's angry
 It's forceful
 It knows what it wants
 I won't use it to hurt you
 But to heal you
 and grow you 
and show you,
 to know you
 Its my power
 I know it
 My yin for your yang
 It's your power that dominates all over the land
 I won't use mine to hurt you
 But to righten a wrong
 Not to whiten, but brighten 
and shine the light on
 The crimes of the past that still go on.
 There's a fire in my belly
 Not a fire in the booth
 Akala said it,
And I sought out the truth

I have new names and they are “Wounded Healer” and “Story Teller”

Self knowledge

know yourself and you will know the universe and the gods

Temple of Apollo at Delphi

Self knowledge is not enough, but it is a pretty powerful tool!
