Spring here in the UK has been exceptionally Hot..As Hot as some of our Summer days. It got to a record high in some parts of the country, it was over 23 degs, in Scotland which broke all records for March..
As often is the case I love to sit in the quiet and just Be.. absorbing Nature and the peace.. Saying Hi to the occasional passer by and stroking the odd dog that bounds up to say hello.. I seem to have some sort of beacon which seems to say to dogs come on lets sniff out this Dreamwalker and see what she is about.. And I have one or two tales within Dreamwalker’s Sanctuary about my encounters with Dogs..
Such was my experience, I couldn’t sleep and just had to write what came into my mind.. so around 2am out came my journal and pen.. and below is the resulting poem . The Nature Photo’s you see are what I took along my walk. The Tree of Life I added as I just love.. However the Hawks were too high to get a photo on my mobile so I found a couple of Sparrow Hawks in Google Images…
Walking on High.
Today I awoke with a spring in my step
As an appointment with Nature today I kept
The Sun shone bright with skies so clear
As off I did walk with a smile and good cheer
~
2012 is the year of the shift
As I walked in the Sun I was given a gift
My gaze travelled high to the buds of the trees
And low to the ground was the hum of the bees
~
I sent my thoughts to the Creator of All
As I asked for his gifts and he answered my call
For up in the heavens Two Hawks they appeared
Spiralling on upwards my eyes filled with tears
~
A feeling inside me did burst from my heart
For all of these gifts we each are apart
No longer on ground did my feet seem to walk
But high with the Hawks I flew and did talk
~
They told me of visions and far reaching sight
And how to sail upwards in effortless flight
Teaching Patience and Grace as they glided with ease
With no earthly worries or grudges to appease
~
Higher and higher aloft I did rise
I danced with the Hawks amid the clear skies
Adrift with my thoughts I floated back down
As once more my feet did touch back to ground
~
‘The Shift’ is within as we awaken and see
As many more join in the flight to be free,
I carried on walking with heart full of love
And asked for another sign from those up above
~
For my journey unsure on the road I must tread
And appearing like magic I looked above my head
Two Butterflies danced on the breeze with such glee
Ascending to heaven in answer for me
~
We each see the signs as The Shift we all feel
As our hearts open wider in this world so surreal
So follow your Path and see where it leads
Ascension is coming for this Earth to succeed..

Sue..this is SO beautiful. I am totally impressed. ‘Walking on High ‘ is a wonderful, beautiful, beautiful and beautiful poem, three times over, I identified with that on a personal basis….and –thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures.
I have a friend that I have known for years. I ALWAYS know when she wishes to confer with me, for a specific colored butterfly inevitably appears and will stay, fluttering in front of me– where ever I am. How amazing your path in life IS.
Again…this is SO beautiful. Blessings, ~R

‘Walking on High’ is a powerful vision given to you Dreamwalker at this ‘time’ in your life. Perhaps its meaning goes beyond what you share with us. I think there could be special meaning only intented for you.
Whatever the case it is special; it is beautiful; it is ‘Walking on High’.

Hi Nikki, yes Pussy Willow Trees seem to hold their own Magic this time of year.. And I know a few sprigs look wonderful with Spring flowers like Daffodils.. And once upon a time I would have picked a few too.. But now I know that they are best left in Nature.. It was great to see them and the Bees were busy too.
Flowers give of their lives to uplift and make our moments of remembrances and celebrations Happy Occasions.. For the moment they are picked, they give of their lives… But they come at our Birth, our Birthdays our Weddings, Anniversaries, Mothers Day, Special occasions, to brighten us up when we are ill, From loved ones and lovers, and they are still present at our Departure as we say farewell to this Realm… Flowers are a Huge part of ALL our lives, and one of the Greatest of our Creators Gifts to Mankind… Loved you dropped in to comment Nikki, Hugs back xx Sue

I have a painting of a Willow Tree in my bedroom.. well it is not a Tree but of the branches. Painted by a dear friend..she was a true artist honest to god.
But she never did anything about it as she was so deadicated to her family.
I think she would have been very well known.
I did not know this was the tree of life…I like these branches for Easter decoration.
Although I don’t have many plants in the house as my cats ter to pieaces..you know.
I did have this tree in my garden when I moved here but it had to be removed as it was just too big for my small garden.
In holland these trees are everywhere along the water sides… so beautiful.
