Taking a step back often feels like you have somehow failed, but in not stepping back I would be failing myself.
It’s hard this internal knowing, when you have no words to describe what it is you understand. It’s like you have spent years gathering together the various bits and pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle in your mind. Each piece comes along at various points in your life and you have to juggle them about to see if they fit.
Then all at once you get one piece that slots into place and all the other pieces which you held suddenly now all fit into place. And yet you are still trying to make sense of what it is you are putting together, because we don’t have a picture box lid to understand just what kind of finished picture we are creating.
I felt the jumble of the pieces suddenly make sense, and in the next instant it felt like a huge wind had come along, and the pieces scattered in a thousand directions. I felt such a void of confusion, sadness and pain.
Pain for a world that is caught up within its own journey, as we each try to make sense of the pieces we hold.
The pain of my heart transferred itself quickly into fatigue as I found myself shutting down, and shutting out the world more and more as I slept, slipping into a void of depression, a feeling I know only too well. And were it not for family, friends, and my granddaughter’s wonderful presence, it’s a void I know I could easily slip into again if I were not mindful of the signs. But I have been to the depths of despair many years ago now. And never again will I plunge back into that deep dark well.
So, my smile is ever present as I keep positive in the face I present to the world. I took my mind into that tranquil zone, I painted, and I painted some more. I allowed the painting to absorb and transform those feelings. For I also have come to understand that other forces are at work, as our Light codes and energies are adjusting as the Geomagnetic Storms now intensify their frequencies which in turn are affecting our moods and health and our DNA. I painted out my heart as I faced my fears as I raced into the unknown. I painted, as the snow fell outside, the snow transferred to the canvas, or was it water? Both cleansing, I will let you decide.
I know I am not the only one who has been going through the emotional washing machine. We have been tossed around, wrung out, to feel drained and left to feel crumpled and limp in the face of feeling helpless to that which we see occurring around our world and our neighbourhoods. Wondering where it is all leading, and for those of us like myself, we wonder if our energies will ever make a difference.
Stepping back, pausing and taking that deep breath away from the constant bombardment of negative news allows us to view life from a different perspective.
Those who read my posts regular, know I am a great believer in ‘Signs’ my recent posts were trying to make sense of that ‘Knowing’ some of us feel. So, it was no surprise that over this period of time I had a ‘Sign’ come and visit me not once but three times in as many weeks. As a Sparrow Hawk which is a rare sight at the best of times, landed not once, but three separate times into my garden as she hunted the sparrows I feed. She has been coming on an off since January when I first took a photo of her or him. But since I have been absent from WP she landed three more times in full view in my garden.
Her presence came to remind me to lift my own wings and concentrate upon raising my own higher vibrations. So, I have been meditating more. She taught me to lift myself higher, and look from another perspective, to that which I had allowed myself to wallow in… the pain of others and other people’s stories. Showing me while we are all of us connected, I need not take on their pain.
For each of us agreed what roles to play, be it a Hawk a predator or a Sparrow its victim. She came to show me I should not get hung up on the details of life, but trust to the currents to which way the wind catches my wings. I saw how the Sparrows cleverly avoided her clutches, as they flew into the thick branches of my shrubs and how all the sparrows along with blackbird cried out their warnings of her arrival. I saw how unity of species played a part in their survival and now how they have altered their feeding habits in mindfulness of the hawks presence. I see how some keep guard and watch, while others feed. I also observed how some are selfish and fight fiercely to possess the feeder not giving an inch. Nature is a constant reminder of our fight for survival. And when the snow came, we helped nature along.
The Hawk has a wider view of the world than ourselves, and reminds me to broaden my own perspective and to trust and let go to the Winds of Change. Being Empathic I feel at times raw emotions as their currents ebb and flow through humanity, I also feel the cosmic energies that pulsate which are coming to open up our hearts.
I think this is my longest ever absence since I started blogging in 2007. I started out wanting to make a difference as my words rippled out, and during my recent void I wondered what possible difference I could make. And yet by reading the many comments you have all left me over time. I see how my poems have touched you and how connected we all are in this our Earth Journey.
I could write thousands of words and never come to express that which I have come to understand of our human self and our existence on planet Earth. Nor could I ever explain what I have learnt through the years of my Spiritual involvement via the communications I have been privileged to part of and witness.
Those of you who are upon their own Soul Journey, know of what I speak, others perhaps have yet to soar to find their own flight paths, for we are all of us at our various levels of evolution as we fly in our ever-expanding circles as we search and explore our own destinies, and make sense of who we are and why we are here.
At the time of writing this I have no idea how long I shall be flying, it may be a matter of days, or another few weeks. And I thank all of you for your patience, especially those comments still in moderation waiting to be answered. Thank you those who have sent me your beautiful emails. I will be answering all of them over time.
All of you are loved and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love you share and show me here, words never seem enough in appreciation. But you are all greatly loved and I feel Blessed for having you all in my world.
Sometimes we may not make sense of the way we view events of our world. But some events acts as triggers, that change the perspective of others. The Hawk came to show me there are no victims. For we all came to play our parts.
I did tune in yesterday and saw how 17 lives lost on the 14th February were not lost in vain. If a country with a young generation of all creeds and races can come together in Unity to stand up and voice their views.
This world is on track.
I see Unity Consciousness working right there in the eyes and hearts of the next generation that will have to stand strong and firm in their beliefs, as their courage comes together to create the kind of world they wish to live in. And the ‘Knowing’ I see within my heart will be worth the sacrifice of those who agreed their particular parts so that Humanity may evolve through Love.
Hawks are masters of flying, they enjoy the landscape, I need to soar a while longer as I adjust my energies as I ‘Paint Pictures’, as I accept ‘What will be will be’. (Que Sera, Sera).
In Love and Light

Oh, yes, I am deep in hermit mode and have been for years now, especially since we moved this summer and I “injured” my collar bone/rib/higher heart chakra. It was more of a reset than an injury, although physically stopped me in my tracks and kept me solitary while David was finishing now things up in Goshen. It has lately become such a journey of such immense gratitude and beauty. I cannot even describe it, but that’s the other side of the soulful withdrawal.

We each contribute to increasing the Light in the world according to what guidance and skills we have, Sue. I question and doubt too at times. The going gets heavy, as it has been of late again. It is at those times I am reminded that what we see on the physical plane is the cleansing in action – and it looks and feels murky and ugly. But it must be done. Just like a boil cannot heal until it has been lanced and the pus released, so too the earth and all that is in it. There already is much Light. Each time we send it out it increases exponentially. I prefer to focus on peace, Love and healing. Like a magnet energies also attract more of the same. Energy cannot be destroyed but it CAN be changed. So changing fear, anger, hatred etc etc to Love will always make a difference.. Your paintings are powerful and are sending healing energy to the world. Spread your wings and soar high!!!

Well lady, when you disappear you always return with amazing gifts, amazing insights and amazing clarity…A truly beautiful tiger! Every little detail, the overall image.Well done DW. It really is beautiful. You are at a much different level of creation now…Very professional.
As For your thoughts I could not agree more as I am sure you know. Quite a bit of this turmoil has also included quite large solar flares so we’re being blasted open I think 🙂 These times are often overwhelming. For those who have been on the journey all this time, we probably know more about the reality unfolding than we would like to know, but it has all been part of the learning process. Knowing what can be but seeing what is, now that is tough. We will get through this together!That said, I just want you to know that this march while nice for some kids to be heard and I appreciate that completely, I also have to say that it is manipulated as they all are, most likely George Soros 😦 They had a news guy out there asking them questions about the second amendment, gun control etc and many of them couldn’t answer the questions because they didn’t know! They are there because they are being encouraged to protest/march but they don’t even know why! I know you know what I’m talking about. …
And to Mrs. Hawk I say, thank you for coming your way. Signs are such a wonderful way to live. It is what puts the magic into life! What a strong totem animal to show itself! Lucky you. The timing was obviously spot on and off you go 🙂 I’m happy she was there for you with her messages. You and your hawk and me and my ‘Bizzy Bunny’…Oh yeah! Have fun communicating with her.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful self with us all…Words, paintings and insights. One stop shopping my friend 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thanks! Be well and have a good week ahead…Hugs and love your way….VK ❤

I know exactly what you are going through with the piece of the puzzle fitting.I call them coincidences, mistakes, accidents, what is meant to be but some people know that these don’t exist and when the pieces of the puzzle fit at a quick pace I call that being in line with Spirit. I have gone through this in the last couple of months and still keep going through this to this day. It is hard to explain as you have to tag so many incidents back and forth in one post people would think I am babbling so I just enjoy the process and I know on these point how you feel.
The events surrounding us are truths now coming to the forefront. These incidents are sometimes not the faint for heart. The signs as you say are coming to the forefront now as humanity is to view these incidents, some not pleasant and others not pleasant either. Unfortunately I look at this as Humanity being cleansed Spiritually. Yes, Consciousness is being elevated in this time. This is to allow a new chapter for the better for humanity. Yes we must lift our own wings as this shows strength. The Sparrow Hawk fulfills its destiny what sometimes we perceive as an aggression but it is part of nature as the sparrows are part of nature as well and are aggressive to their own species and other species of birds. We can go to the top of the food chain and we have mankind at the top and mankind is aggressive as well perhaps the most aggressive. Like I said everything else in the world fulfills its destiny and the only ones that don’t is mankind.
Beautiful painting of the tiger. Sending you healing and strength ❤

Dearest Joseph,what a beautiful comment with so much wisdom.. I agree Humanity is undergoing cleansing, we have built so many layers in our karmic records, so much needs to be peeled away as we learn to let go and release that which we no longer need. I am not surprised you understood perfectly my words. Spirit often work best through us when we go into our quiet zones.
I so thank you for your healing thoughts, and for your lovely compliments upon the Tiger.. I am striding forward stronger, but not rushing.. It may take me several days to answer all of your amazing comments.. I was touched beyond words and brought to tears by the kindness of your words and those of others who have shown such love here..

Sweet Sue, honoring yourself in this way means that, in a way, you give the rest of us permission to do this, as well. You can feel all your feelings in your words. The goings-on of the world are also going on in your heart. I understand this. I also understand what it is to need to step away. I love your beautiful analogy about the soaring bird. Just by coming here to this site, and by reading all your words, and seeing all the responses and community that gathers here, it is like a big blog circle of peace minded friends. We are metaphorically smoking the peace pipe. We are metaphorically elevating our vibrations to create more love. As you mentioned the students yesterday who did the March for our Lives, my mind drifted to the moment when I tuned in and heart Martin Luther King, Jr.’s granddaughter telling the crowd to repeat an affirmation. It brought tears to my eyes that, perhaps, we may yet change the way of things. I will never understand the need to own military-style guns and I hope that there are enough enlightened people in this country to stop it. There is a lot of love, and a lot of strength in our young people. They are taking their responsibility seriously and doing a pretty good job of it. 🙂
Ah, friend. I hope you soar and heal, and paint and feel the love coming toward you from all over the world – in the people who are part of your community. Sending you big hugs full of love and light. ✨💜✨💜

the painting confirms that ‘inward’ retrospection does not marry well with immersion in society, even thru cyberspace. it’s important to get ultra quiet and sometimes just go ‘blank’ and allow that higher self to take you to calming places.
it’s a very powerful painting that almost makes me cry; cry, because i am so touched by its beauty and of your story and knowing that you followed your inner voice which led you to creating this painting!

Dear Sue!
Hang on to hope knowing that everyone is trying to make a difference in our world; just that some are operating at varied levels or diverse frequencies. I had felt very disillusioned after doing my work in Kashmir, India, but my mistake was that I thought I could make a difference and I couldn’t.
Having evolved over time, I found a new way to reach people and wrote a fiction book to convey what’s possible. But again, I told myself, this is a never ending, evergreen assignment. I must continue to be tolerant, be respectful, keep writing, and never give up. One day the right person might read and understand the book. Or, come up with a better idea, and that is what matters!

Oh, the emotional washing machine, it can be such a challenge… I’ve been going through it too, the ”dark night of the soul” for years and years now, and yes, sometimes it can feel like it’s too much to bear. This year especially, it feels like the everything is coming to a head in a very forceful way. And yet I have moments of utter clarity in which I KNOW that all is well, everything exactly as it should be and it all serves a purpose. The universe is truly nurturing and gearing towards our highest good. Thanks for sharing your experiences and lovely pictures of Nature communicating with you, and your lovely tiger of course!

Likewise Wendy, I had come to that stage of Clarity, them BOOM! I got knocked sideways emotionally as I allowed the collective energies to swamp me too much.. I thought I had protected myself more, but somehow it felt like the rug had been pulled from beneath me.. I did lots of cleansing and went back to basics, I know you will understand this.. I had allowed myself to be too open..
I know our karmic wheel is in motion and many things which we view as chaotic have to unfold to be cleared out, I understand this, but my emotional body was not in sync with my energy body.. And I crumpled for a time…
Thank you for your lovely compliments, Tiger is now on my wall, watching over me, and a reminder to keep moving forward while cleansing ourselves..

You have reached that part where your heart has let go of what no longer serves dear lady. It is most certainly a large part of who you are, but because of that will take some time to adjust. My journey left me so drained that I could barely function on a day to day level. The emotions are the hardest part as they also leave you in such a confused and questioning state trying to understand what is happening. But gradually you ‘shift’ into what you have become, that change you have been working on for so long even though we don’t think we are actually doing anything. That is why it takes us off guard because its like any journey, we have been doing the one thing (traveling) for so long that when we suddenly arrive at the destination, everything stops. We then have to adjust to this new way of being, especially the new view at where we have arrived. It takes time so allow that Sue, and like anything emotional we go through it will take time, and teaches us a little more of that thing called patience 😀
You have sensed this by your paintings, allowing the change to come through faster by ‘letting go’ and meditating or picking up your brush. And I might add, beautifully ‘letting go’ at that 😀
When it all settles you will ‘feel’ the change, it is much more peaceful and accepting. Even to the point that you begin to ‘let go’ of this world, and I mean that as in an acceptance of what happens has purpose, the good and the bad, and no longer holds you in its patterns ❤
Just hold that peace my friend, it is a light in the wilderness, one that no longer needs to be lit by anything but what you have become ❤

Dear Mark, words can not express, as the tears fell as I read your kind words.. I know you too have experienced the road of ups and downs. Learning to navigate it, one has to use our instincts a bit like a compass, following where our hearts needle points us.. The peace is once again settling, yet I still know I need more solitude to regain my balance.. This last wave, hit harder as my emotional body became swamped as I allowed myself to become too open to the collective energies.. A lesson perhaps needed as more layers I had thought healed once again peeled over to reveal an new open wound that would not close over and heal..
So yes, I have painted some more and will continue to paint a while yet, as I regain that Peace..
Many thanks Mark for your wonderful friendship and kindness and for knowing just what I needed to hear..
Love and Blessings
Sue ❤

The hardest part for me Sue was in finally seeing what was causing my pain (the rejection from my dad), I though I finally understood and began to let it go, and about twelve months after that another similar situation came up and flattened me again. I was so shocked because I thought I had faced my fear…but in truth it takes much more to go past it. It has taken a lifetime to build this monster and it does take time to break free and realign into the truth we have discovered in facing it. Over the last few years it has risen and ‘tested’ my heart and each time it becomes weaker and weaker until now it no longer ‘raises a sweat’ so to speak 😀
And it is that process of understanding why we reacted as we did, realising that it was my view of my dad and how he treated me that slowly gave me the realisation that he too was a product of his own father, and was only doing what he was taught to show love.
We all break free my friend, just by understanding why we held those walls of fear, and in doing so it loses its power over us and finally shows us a love we have always searched for…the ability to love ourselves in that understanding.
And that is its whole purpose, one cannot be found without the other, through those conditions we place on ourselves in those fears, is the ability to break through and in doing so find what we have always been searching for, that happiness in finally finding ourselves, the unconditional love…our love ❤

I can so understand that Mark, And recently trying to write my poetry into order and what prompted their creation into some sort of book form. I too re-opened a can of worms of my childhood and my own vulnerability of trying to fathom out my Mother and her treatment of me. I wish I could pin point it to the same, of a bad upbringing from my grandparents, But they showed us nothing but love. What ever was the trigger along with World Events my emotions felt in shreds. And like you I had thought myself over the worst and strong.. Seems my layers went deeper and who knows maybe they are life times deeper.. But I will keep working on shedding them.. 🙂 I have no intention of letting fear or negative energy pull me back down..
So thank you so much Mark for sharing that here.. We all agreed to this Journey, and I have every intention of doing my best to complete it this time around.. 🙂 💚

From all I have seen dear lady, most cannot ‘see’ anything wrong with their parents or those they love and look up to. It is only because we are very young when these fears take root into a very young emotionally immature mind that our only defense is to ram it down hard and put that wall up to block that pain. And in doing that very thing we can no longer ‘see’ what built it because we are so afraid to look at that pain, and can’t understand its meaning anyway because we are so young.
And we very effectively promote that fear into this ‘thing’ that we drag around forever, but in doing so we keep the fear at a grand level, on into adult hood, not realising that it is only a fear because we don’t understand it. We are still viewing it from that childhood terror.
When it is understood, the relief and ‘let go’ is beyond belief, simply because of what we have endured and because we can now see it for what it was, and its power over us will then begin to be released, finally setting us free.
Just be gentle with yourself my friend and take plenty of time for you ❤

Wonderful words Sue. They really resonated with me today. I have goosebumps and feel a rise of loving energy reaching across the ocean to you.
The sparrow hawk has been visiting my back yard over the past few weeks too. At first I was dismayed, because of the havoc it brought to the birds at our feeders… and then I realized its message is about trusting in Nature and flying high to see the bigger picture that brings harmony.
There is hope and love 💕

It sounds like a bit of a tug-and-war time for you and your soul, for you and your searching heart. But in the process what wonderful paintings you have created. That Tiger looks so determined, leaping through the cold fearlessly and looking ahead, moving forward – which I think that is what all of us need to do. I also like the softness of the strokes about this painting, that it has a soft look and aesthetic too it – which reminds me in times where we are lost, it’s important to be gentle with ourselves and try not to stress ourselves out.
I am also a believer of signs. For instance, right now we are in Mercury Retrograde and some things already haven’t gone my way. They aren’t massive things but things enough to annoy me because they always used to work and be that way. We all go through phases like this. Take your time and paint away. We will all be here when you are ready to come back and blog. Take care and stay safe. Hugs ❤

I KNOW where you are and have been. You did exactly the right thing to bring yourself back up and stay out of that well. Pouring yourself into that painting was a good way to release the lower vibration and raise it full tilt. That painting is STUNNING! You can feel the tiger walking toward you. I’ve been some time resting and restoring myself. I’ve mentioned before that the only way I can watch the news of the world is to record it and watch in a fast forward motion with the sound off during anything but good news. I’m aware but not sucked down the hole. Most of it is nothing I can do anything about other than say a prayer for guidance. I started reading the material of Abraham Hicks many years ago and watching their videos on YouTube and it made more sense to me than anything I’ve ever come across. It answers those questions on why so many bad things happen. You are so on track with how to deal with the craziness of the world. AH is just another tool. Most of us that are “sensitive” need all the help we can get. The empath has a hard time watching the suffering we see. I’m always here for you. You can e-mail me anytime you want to share your struggle. It’s wonderful you have such a good family support. I have my daughter who keeps popping in and we help each other. Sending love and hugs. M

I too love Abraham Hicks.. and have several DVD’s which my daughter bought me.. Very inspiring and full of wisdom.. And puts a lot into perspective when we look through a different lens.
Thank you for that offer of email too Marlene.. I will bare that in mind my friend.. We who are on a similar path keep learning to shed that which is no longer needed and releasing and letting go.. Which is what the world in fact is doing, yet we can not see it, for all we see it from is the human perspective of suffering..
But the karmic wheel is being spun, and circles are closing as others are opening..

What you write about are thoughts that I often have, but it is, I suppose more about a sensation of awareness. I feel so much is right here, right in the ‘superspace’ of our consciousness, accessing quantum states and going beyond time. I find your paintings to be incredibly inspiring and your world that you share with us is sincere, and embracing of nature and in our oneness. Thank you for you. Aloha, Ka

Hey sweetie. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself, but because I care about you, I am sorry you’ve once again ‘gone to the dark side.’ I’m often reminded of A Clockwork Orange from back in the day – I feel like the guy whose eyes were forced open, but to me it’s not a bad thing. I see the world for what it is and have no expectations it will ever be significantly different. There have been and always will be wonderful people in it. There have been and always will be cruelty and terror. As long as our precious Earth is held in a gravitational field, polarized north and south, I suspect those polarities will remain with all life upon Her. If humans continue to precipitate extinction of species, they, too shall become extinct and the earth shall once again renew herself. Life is certainly not without consequences.
You know we share the visionary aspect, and I’ve often ‘seen’ different outcomes. But since my dear friend Lea died, I’ve been given certain knowledge of holographic overlays. I wonder, since these overlays are like ultra-thin glass slides in a microscope, if we are getting bleedthroughs to another frequency that will one day perhaps obviate itself to us directly. And the transition will be easy. So without getting into it unduly, imagine an undamaged earth where energy exchanges are all we need – no wires, poles, even food except for the sheer enjoyment of tasting it. I suspect you know what I mean. Yet to expect *this* reality to *become* that would be a tremendous exercise in frustration and perhaps futility, at least for me. Meanwhile I bless each precious sunrise and sunset and offer what I can, where it makes sense. And await the future with an openness to miracles.
Sending you buckets of love and rainbows and blessings, sweet Sue. Aloha. The breath of life to you! ❤

I think that I came to the point of realisation also, that the same patterns will keep on repeating.
The trick is to break our own loop and live our own reality.
The more you come to learn, the less you know.🤔 And I agree, we seem set for annihilation if we do not change our ways.
My thoughts took me back as I read your comment to Atlantis.. Wondering just how far we came before, to start again.. And if this experiment of Human species will ever work.. or will it ever evolve through love?

You created an exact mental picture of a whirling mind that can take us with it in its descent in to the void. The tiger that you painted exactly portrays the fierceness of your intention that would not let you slip away. That all the time you had figured out how the pieces of the puzzle fit before they blew away – has left a knowing in you of how they would fit back again, and you do have the courage to pick up the pieces again. It does make a difference Sue, your work, your words, your intentions, your presence and your absence (because it is felt) – it does make a difference.

Dear Sue, I am right beside you. I’m so glad you’re taking the time you need to reflect and heal. One of the first things my shaman teacher told me long ago was this: ‘What we choose not to look at controls our lives.’ Our wonderful community here is so supportive. It’s a blessing we don’t have to do this alone. Your tiger has such a look of expectation on her face ~ ‘Wait! I’m coming! Don’t leave without me!’ That’s often how I feel ~ that the boat is sailing and I’m being left behind. This hit me really had during my recent flareup. So I reviewed my research on Ascension and posted an article. It helped me immensely. Perhaps it will help you. My love and thoughts are with you, dear friend.

Sue this is a wonderful post. I know the feeling of looking at the puzzle pieces of my life and wondering if they’ll ever make sense, particularly in light of world events; that feeling of being wrung out, shut down. It’s important to know that it’s OK to shut off our computers to be present in the moment, to appreciate what we still have and to be glad that we are not on the side of chaos and destruction. Your tiger is a gorgeous animal spirit and you are a warrior. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

You, yourself, may feel your absence more profoundly but you are never far from the beauty of your art, your words, of your encouragement of others. I have not written in a very long time now but that is how I am when so much is on my platter and with looking for a place, finally finding one, packing up the apartment and now on the verge of moving….perhaps, after I get settled once again I will write once more. We will sign the lease finally tomorrow afternoon and have all day Thursday and Friday to move as much of the small things as we can before a few family members come on Saturday to move the heavy things and furniture for us. It is difficult since surgery to request help but partner is a cancer survivor, I, of course, now with an artificial heart valve and both at 65yrs of age tire easily. But it is yet another chapter, a page unturned and I am hopeful it will be better in this new place. I also hope for you that your art and family have given you positive support and that your smile will continue to show through for so many. Be well my friend. xoxo

So glad you are doing well. My move went fairly well, due to lots of planning and the fact that we spent 2 days before moving small things (no furniture). I had family help and although it was a very long day for me, the apartment location is much better. My fibromyalgia (as you know) causes me to be in lots of pain but I do what I need to do. After the move was done we still had to go back to clean the apartment but I am glad it is over. Now I will take it easy for a time, except when I go to help watch my granddaughters in a week or so, as my daughter just bought her first house….long overdue for her. Do take care. xoxo

Dear Sue always a delight to see you back where you belong and where we all eagerly wait for your pearls of wisdom. That has been coming for decades and you deserve every break and that sets new dimension to the way we perceive the thoughts that comes from your deep, deep reflection, profound insights and the deeper philosophy of life, the questions that keep coming and many times these questions are innocuous in its presentation but other times these questions leaves us in deep lurch and we need to lift ourselves from such vortex of turmoil and turbulence. The flight we need to lift ourselves. Time is the best healer. Patience has power to fight the emotional patient we become because of the constant bombardment of things happening around us and we are pulled in agony.
We need the clue and we need the support and it is nature that always comes to our rescue provided we are connected with nature and the signs and signals are there and it is for us to receive and process for our better reflection and realization of life. You have been doing so for years and constantly churning out one master piece of art to another master piece of inspiration through your poetry and there is no end to your source of such wonderful repository of hope, love and joy.
Taking a much deserved break and making the break count through the brilliance of the colorful strokes on the canvas, I must say the painting looks simply stunning, so real as if the tiger is there in front of us, animated and enchanting the beauty of art. Everything is in the nature. The story of fight and flight sums the way nature and the creatures of nature exist and co-exist but that cannot bestow mercy on the prey by the predator, the sparrows are watched and the Hawks are constantly looking for such traps. That’s rule of nature. We as human beings are the biggest predator and the nature is crying foul and praying not to keep hammering and harming them the way we have been doing and there is a limit to such destructive subjugation.
We need to be observant and we need loads of patience and life has its ways and means to show us what is right and what is wrong and though we get wrong end of the stick for being mean but when we are mindful of things around us we get the shower of nature that has all its beauty and bounty.
I agree dear Sue we all need to step back and reflect before we could take that step forward in life and there is nothing wrong taking that step backward that what’s makes life so beautiful provided we are ready to let go things we have been holding so tightly and see the world in different perspectives.
Thanks so much Dear Sue for sharing such lovely thoughts and the picture of your garden covered by such beautiful layers of snows and always always a delight and breathe of fresh air the moment I land here and then I take off with loads of inspiration.
Have a wonderful week ahead.
Take Care!!!

Thank you dear Nihar firstly for your patience, and secondly for your lovely thoughts and observations. The Hawk and Sparrows indeed come to teach.
This week has seen me out in my allotment gardens more, as the weather has been better. But to say it is April the temperatures here are still not as they should be.. It has been a long winter this year. But colour is not returning to the garden and I hope to be back to posting more and visiting soon..
Stepping back is sometimes needed, as we need to focus and we prioritise that which we often put last. And that is upon ourselves. A task I have often failed to do. And then paid the consequences.. So this time around dear Nihar I am listening to self, and allowing my self room to just BE.
Some days I am the Gardener, other days I am the artist.. And some days I am the writer.. 🙂 .. It is wonderful people like your good self here on WP within my blogging community that also have made me come to realise, You are like family..
Each of you encouraging and so supportive and who understand that sometimes we need to step back a little every now and again..
Many thanks again Nihar.. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, And I am working my way around back to your blog..
Many thanks my friend xx

Dear Sue it feel so good to hear about the way you have been engaging with yourself, and more often in today’s WordPress World we have neglected it more than we expected it to cut ourselves off from the real world. I feel so happy about your musing with nature to art to garden and so much to do there and we have to get where we need our mind and heart needs the depleted gasoline needed to keep going in this digital space and after all it has become our extended family and in a strange way…not to worry at all dear Sue, just be there and enjoy every bit of the dialogue with nature and art.
This part of the world has been hot and summer couldn’t resist its entry and have made an early arrival, and it shows what’s going to come this summer…we are trying to get adjusted to changing temperature and good to be back home and be in front of the computer rather than confronting the heat wave outside.

And your painting shows this spirit in such vivid and great detail, simply beautiful and inspiring. Wishing you the very best as you continue your path on discovery and life ~ we are all thankful for your wisdom. Take care.

You’re right that we must step back once in a while to understand (and often decode) all of the puzzle pieces that made us over the years.

Oh, Sue!! (((HUGS))) I too of late have been asking why should I even bother to continue to bring Light and Love into this world? What good have I done? Have I even made a difference? My mind once so full of words and “wisdom sayings” just so quiet. So many times over the past few weeks I’ve been hit with situations some leaving me just so exhausted (again) and just wanting to give up. And then I began to. Yep, I know all about that Darkness. Then two things changed. I threw something back at someone who I knew deliberately wanted me to sink and die. Doing that a major lifting came and with it my determination to begin to MOVE. Went back to the gym. And then I spoke with my chiropractor (event 2) in which I poured my Heart out to who understood exactly what I was saying. Just “connecting” with him spurred me on to fight back, stand tall, and grab back ME! I’m in the process of doing that very thing. I’ve also stopped looking at the world just to focus on my private life. That is more then enough.
Your painting is magnificent, dear friend! I wish I could paint like that! My “thing” is my camera so I continue to play with it and with the 2 NEW lenses I recently bought. As for that Hawk …. POWERFUL sign! Fly, Sue!! Fly above the madness that is found on this planet! Soar!!! 🕊🕊🕊

Self preservation at times has to come first and foremost. And as we are sensitive souls we often feel we are shouldering guilt and letting others down by not being there etc..
But the time has come for us to be there for ourselves and nurture our own selves more..
We are both learning to do this after always putting others first.. 🙂

Sue, I am learning to put ME first when I can. It feels SO good too! I don’t do it enough to be truthful with you. There are days lately I wish I was “free” in order to pursue my photography the way I would love to. I’m so involved with my life as is and once committed, I will not walk away until I complete what I myself started. Do you know what a luxury it would be for me just to have one entire day off just for ME from start to finish? The moment my feet hit the floor I am involved with my babies, doing even before my first and only cup of coffee. I cherish the time I do have with my camera and perhaps that is why I am so darn grateful for what I have and the time I do get. In so many ways I have such a good life, Sue. I lack for nothing.

I understand, Sue. And I know I am late reading this post but I think we have been experiencing very similar energies. I too, know how easy it could be to sink back into that darkest of depressions. It is something that feels very possible…some times more than others…but I just keep walking…and guess what…there are many times we take two steps forward and three steps back. I just think that as long as we continue to try to move forward…all things have a way of working out. Much love to you and I hope that you are feeling refreshed…renewed.
❤ ❤

Dear Sue,
Thank you for sending me here. What a vibrant painting of this magnificent tiger seemingly inviting us to go and frolic with it in the foamy wave!
May you have greatly benefited from your magnificently painted tiger’s nine lives to deal with the rigour of living an examined life as we continue to be wiser day by day and year by year!
By the way, I would like to inform you that in the YouTube video that you embedded at the end of this post is defunct and cannot be played. The message is as follows:
I have just published a new post to benefit everyone visiting and navigating my blog so that they can become much more adept at spotting and making good use of the bells and whistles. It is available at
May you soon become one of the “power users” of my blog, seamlessly exploring anything of interest and completely at home with whatever fascinations or intellectual challenges that you may encounter there!
Happy mid-June to you!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle
