Change

There is a new energy being birthed through me. I thought I was dying, and it felt like annihilation. An erasing of all I was meant to be and had planned to be. A slow and painful losing of myself into the melding forces of the changing world around me. I did what I thought …

Farewell old friend

I miss you. I didn’t realise that you were there until you left me. Though I know where you have gone, there is still a hole in our lives where you should be. The day started like any other, but by the evening it was clear you were leaving. I could see it in your …

Rise up

This is for the Dragons of Light; Rise up and brush the dust from your limbs. Rise up and shake the manacles from your wrists. Rise up and shed the chains from your wings. This is for the Spirits of Life; All who have lain dormant in the bowels of the Earth, hiding from forces …

The Sky

I stood still in the woods and looked up at the sky. Gazed up through the gap in the canopy and felt stillness wash over me. Cornflower blue and cottontail white, gently moving and holding space for all life to exist. It occurred to me that you cannot love the sky without loving all versions …

The Dragons

The Dragons are sleeping. They lie curled up, like a lattice across the globe, waiting and watching for the time when they will be needed again. When the rays of the Sun stretch over the horizon and begin to warm their skin, then we will see them stir, twitch, shift, and stretch, unfolding wings, bodies, …

Anger is a funny thing

Anger is always the enemy, the deadly force that you must hide or tether to piety like a runaway horse. Hot flaming anger burns through your body like blazing coals. Seething rolling anger bubbles below the surface like a geyser of sulphurous hurt and frustration. But anger also signals that a boundary has been crossed, …

I am an Avatar

Did you notice that we’re not allowed to talk about God anymore. Do you see how people look at you with confusion, slight derision and pity. Oh dear, you’re one of those people who still believes in a ‘higher power’, a bearded man on a cloud up there somewhere. They laugh and smirk. Didn’t you …

Because I love you

Chapter 1I remember as a child how often I wanted to gather up my consciousness and rise right up out of my body. I didn’t want to be here, couldn’t understand the rules the grown ups played, and why I couldn’t just be me. “It’s because we love you – that we lock you up …
