A Child’s Imagination is Precious~ Our Granddaughters Poem.

Most of us who are parents or grandparents think our children are just the best..  Because they are in our eyes. Not all children are so lucky.

I want to share with you  a poem written by our now Eight year old granddaughter who wrote this poem in two sessions as we took her to school and back again. She composed this on the journey to and from school in the back of our car as we travelled.

I thought it so good when she read it out to us when we got back home, I said it would be a great poem to take to school on her show and tell day when they take things to school and speak about them.

As it was scribbled hurriedly in its  composition on the note paper you see below, I asked her if she wanted to re-write it on some better paper and in her neater handwriting.. This she did, and she took that copy to school.

Our Granddaughters Poem first draft she scribbled down above. Then aged 7

Her teacher enjoyed it so much as did the head master, that they asked her to read it in their Assembly on their last day of half term, before Halloween. 

So she read it out to the whole school and said ‘Grandma, I used the microphone, but I rushed saying it, as I wanted to get it over with quickly’.

 

So here is our Granddaughters Poem.. She entitled it

MY FRIEND.

Who’s that I hear you say?

 It’s my imaginary friend

It’s Benge.

He comes when no one is around

When he comes he doesn’t make a sound

When he comes he talks to me

To keep me company.

I like company so does he, when I enter his reality.

We enter worlds of make believe

Of Dragons dens made out of leaves.

We play up high and flap our wings

We soar and roar and all those things.

We swoop on down and land on the ground

Up we rise, up up tall,

We’re standing on the castle wall.

Giants come we grab our weapons

To defend the castle.

Our Castle comes with a bridge door

But in our castle there is something more

What could it be?

Let’s explore

But first look inside the bridge door

We find ourselves on the bedroom floor

And my invisible friend has vanished once more.

By our Granddaughter Aged 7 at writing.

Imagination is something we should all encourage, it is something to be nurtured.

After all Children grow into Adults..

And I am still Imagining a Brighter Peaceful New World.. 

Together Lets DREAM  And Create the WORLD we want our Children’s Children to Grow in Love within.

Have a Blessed Week.

Over the next few posts I will be exploring more of each section and sharing with you some of the thoughts I had while I sat with paint brush in hand..  And it may even weave into a story.. I don’t know yet.. I am still going within the flow of it.. 

If I appear quieter than usual, this is what is keeping me busy at the moment.. 

Have a Beautiful Weekend..

Reconnecting with my Creative Self~ Part 1

Hello my lovely WordPress family, I only intended to be away from my blog for the weekend, as it turned out it has been over one week! It seemed the more I embraced those silent pursuits away from technology, the more reluctant I was in switching the modem back on.

Swan Family~ Flood water rises in a Nature park near by on one of my walks

Often when we go within those silent moments of deep thought, they take us to the realms of realisation of how far we have come. But they also bring to the fore just how much further we still have to travel.

We all of us look after our physical health.. Well I guess you could say I have been looking after my mental health. While I am always trying to be optimistic and work with positivity, sometimes our energy wanes, and I had to sit back and ask myself why I was beginning to feel so drained and emotionally wrung out.

Unity of family~Learning by example~ Finding Peace..

I have long come to recognise ‘the Signs’ of how those emotional feelings creep up on one, and how we get embroiled within the emotional circuits of other peoples energies.. Having come through my own uphill journey, overcoming my own nervous breakdown many years ago, the signs of tearfulness over the least little thing sent the alarm bells ringing. Disengaging from the Media is one thing, but how do you disengage from your friends whom you love whose emotional journeys are pulling you this way and that.

When you are empathic by nature, sometimes the only way of protecting yourself is to withdraw for a time. And get back to basics. I have to accept the world keeps on turning and there is nothing I can do about all the negativity that happen within it. For such is the Yin and Yang of our collective progression. And without the Negative how would we experience the Positive! All is part of the cycle. And getting all emotional about the many tragedies around our globe is not going to help heal the world if I end up contributing more negative emotions to the matrix which is already circulating in abundance.

So I needed to take myself out of those vibrations and create New Energy. So what have been up? I have been embracing several new projects and sitting within the silence and just listening to what answers have been coming back from the void of space I have surrounded my mind in.

Following your  instincts~ Knowing when it’s time to move on.

So over the next couple of post I will be sharing with you those projects, along with some of my thoughts and Inner guidance’s which have helped realign myself back ‘in tune’ so to speak with my ‘True Self’ something I shall be discussing in my next post.

I thank you all for your patience and will be visiting all who have left me wonderful comments and well wishes..

Love and Blessings

Out of Silence~ Comes Creativity

“Everything that’s created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness. “

Wayne Dyer

More and more I am seeking the sanctuary of Silence.. to sit within that bubble of quiet contemplation and be inspired to be at One within the comfort of my own thoughts, and for a while disconnect to the chatter of life  for a while..  

A flower Mandala done in watercolour paints and coloured inks

So the other day I had the desire to paint.. I was clearing out some draws and came across some old coloured inks that I had not used since my creative Auragraph Days.. I really have Cyndi to thank for her new blog of Contemplative Colouring  where she designs and creates to share those wonderful images she creates to colour in.. She gave me the urge to be creative.. I hope you pop along, and see what she is sharing..  

I had a Lovely Diary given me for Christmas, my daughter always buys me the  Earth Pathways Diary, and this time within its many wonderful features were some wonderfully created Flower Mandala’s by the  artist Maria Silmon, I looked up her website.. Be amazed.. she can be found HERE

 So I thought I would have a go a creating my own mandala..  The above is my doodlings, not a patch upon her own creative art.. But as I sat within the Silence, Time was none existent. And I enjoyed creating in the Peace of oblivion .. 

 

If you click the Card it will take you to the Source: 

I picked a random Angel Card today Thursday..Out of Dorren Virtue’s  Archangel  Gabriel Oracle card deck.. and it confirmed my thoughts on taking care of Me by staying True to myself.

The full interpretation says:

 

Stay True To Yourself

“This card is a message for you to trust and follow your inner guidance. Don’t second-guess yourself or veer off course to please other people. You know, deep down, what to do. Partner with God’s guidance. Trust and follow the path you’re shown, one step at a time.

If you ever find yourself feeling stuck or if your business stalls, you can be sure it’s because you’ve compromised your original ideas. This stems from listening to fears and trying to satisfy everyone or fit in with others. Fears will never lead you where you want to go. Fortunately, it’s never too late to get back on track by staying true to yourself. This experience will help strengthen your assertiveness. Call upon God and Archangel Gabriel for help in being honest with others.”

Today Friday, I read Linda’s post over at Litebeings Chronicles and listened to the video in full… I just love how these synchronicities fall into place as they show you that your choices are circulating new energy which is what  Matt Kahn’s teachings help show us in this session. 

I hope you will be patience with me for a while.. as I adjust and resettle…( and circulate new energy ) 🙂 

My own energies seem all over the place at the moment.. I need some quiet and creative time .. And will be resting over the weekend..

Enjoy your own Weekends and make time to be creative and tell those whom you love that you love them.. Sending you Love and Peace, and Enjoy your weekend.. 

Blessings

~Sue~ 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flying over Rainbows and Diving into the Ocean of Life

 

Rainbow Spirals.

Lifting my thoughts through the misty grey
I close my eyes breathing in this day
I watch as the leaves whip up and swirl
Caught in the wind as they scatter and hurl.

I sigh inwards as outwards I gaze
Projecting my thoughts through the grey misty haze
A sky so sullen as it cries yet more tears
As my thought they go backwards through Aeons of years

To the time when I knew you and you held me so tight
When the skies held such promise of love and pure light
I remember it well when thought worked its best
Where within crystals caverns we roamed with the rest.

Deep in the vale we spun threads with our minds
Where beauty and nature lived free with mankind
We flew over rainbows and dived in the sea
Creating a window in creativity

Our lights danced with the fire flies that glow in the night
And your love held me warm as I bathed in your light
And now as I plummet back down to this earth
As the negative seas wash us before our rebirth

I hold out my heart as you grasp tight its beat
For my love is united as once more we greet
You followed me down past the spiral of stars
As you hurtled past Venus and flew over Mars

For such was a love no time could hold back
For now I’m home and there is nothing I lack
For your Light is the pure pleasure I seek
At last in our rapture no slave to the meek

We spin now together in the foam of the swell
And our ocean runs deep as forever we dwell
Returning to Light in the consciousness heart
Forever together never to part.

 

We can overcome anything in life by the power of our thought to over come the hurdles in life. All we need is to use our minds, and live from the Heart, And know we are All loved.. And to remember we all need to love ourselves a little more.
