My Love is Hidden


My love is hidden
In the spring
In green abundant opening
In calling birds
and lifting breeze
I ache from wishing
It to be
I wish you growth
I wish you peace
I wish you endless love
From me.

Raging Flower


How is it hidden
This raging flower
That drinks in your presence
and basks in your light?
I'm sure it's as visible
As the sun in the sky
It burns me inside
and wakes me at night.

How come it's Monday?

My brain informs me that it's Saturday...but the computer says Monday...probably because we lost our connection for 24 hrs and I've yet to do my Sunday browsing.

Well these are my mad red Love Flowers...Mark says they look like Animal Flowers (as in the muppet drummer) The centres are yellower than it looks here so they do look like thay just need eyes and skinny arms with drumsticks!

In reality they say 'Love, I love you' all through the petals, the vase says 'happiness' and the tablecloth says 'joy'...so they are my Love Flowers in a Happiness Vase an a Joy Tablecloth.

It's just me messing about with felt-tips and water again...

My limited selection of colours drove me to the art shop today...£14 for five pens!....

£14 for five pens!

The next messy picture had better be worth it!...I'll at least give Animal his arms.

Life is here

Life is here!
It's Big! It's Big!
and it's scary!...
And it sings in my heart
and buzzes in my veins.
Life is here!
It's big! It's big!
It's scary!

As promised

So here are a couple more of Sven's Fractal pictures as promised, the one above has the particular shades of blue and green together that are almost a spiritual experience for me when I see them!

Which reminds me there is another artist I want to find out there....now if I could just remember her name!

So far today Tailcast has been offline altogether...hope they recover!...saves me time now though as I can't go and be so nosey and chatty!

Big kiss

Boys and Fractals

Aren't they lovely when they are asleep!


Adrift on the topsy turvyness of schools hols...Sleeping beauty is, as I type, tucked up in a tent, in a thunder storm, in the back garden!...I wonder if he looks as peaceful tonight!?

I put a new little poem up on my tailcast blog today...still finding out about my personal boxes as to what belongs where.

The beautiful fractal pic below (which is more amazing if you click to enlarge it) comes from here and is the work of Sven Geier who very generously, based on his beliefs that property rights belong to physical property alone, copylefts his images instead of copyrighting them!

They make beautiful wallpapers for the computer and would make amazing posters, t-shirts, anything really.

I shall be posting a couple of our favourites in the next few days.

I'm still waiting for permission to post some beautiful astronomy pictures from the Panther Observatory

Tailcast poem and beautiful light.

Petersfield Lake4 by Crazydiamond on Tailcast



Today is the day my Tailcast blog goes it's own merry little way...I think!...I'm not sure,... just a bit maybe.

Today I posted a poem there that I didn't post here...here being Blogger, livejournal or myspace depending on where you are!

Tailcast is full of treasure such as the beautiful swan picture above by Crazydiamond...which seems to capture on the screen the amazing quality of light that I love the most...light and water is always a good combination, but Wow!

As Tailcast is in the middle of re-launcing I'm not sure how pretty the pages will be, or if I may have to re-do all the links in the next week or so...any problems with them let me know.


Ok, bit of a strange post but all that the three hungry kids'll let me post at the moment!

Big kiss

Today! Today! Today!

Today I read the most perfect, appropriate, freeing line!

In a book called: Unreasonable Happiness, Satsang with Vartman.

Can I find it now? No! so for now I shall have to possibly paraphrase...or quote it perfectly, Who Knows?

It's just rearranging chairs on the Titanic.

It's just rearranging chairs on the Titanic. !!

There is so much I see people doing in life that has this feeling to it and I've always found it impossible to explain why I don't feel like joining in...and when I'm stuck and can't move this is the sensation to it, but naming it is so wonderful!

Who cares? The ship is sinking, rearrange if it makes you happy...or dive in, or go down with the ship...whatever...the ship is sinking anyway and somehow I've always been at peace with that bit...it was the constant discussion, thought and planning that goes into arranging the chairs that got to me.

Best line I ever read.
