Poem No. 8
Ode to the Petty Tyrant
Driven by forces you do NOT comprehend
refusing to lift the barrier behind which you pretend
to those who give you friendship over whom you exert control
in the name of loving tolerance as you hide behind your role.
When we try to explain the questions you ask
you whinge and complain and glue on your [...]‘I’m too busy’
Daring to realise the value of ‘living the life’, what we have in this world is a challenge that each one of us needs to contemplate.
We need to rediscover and deepen our understanding of what a wondrous gift is life.
What do the words ‘I’m too busy’, ‘with more important things to do’, ‘schedules to keep’ [...]Poem No. 7
Lifting the veils behind which spiralling images,
feelings and voices from the past reveal their stories,
I go to the silence that allows understanding.
Hidden beneath the pounding heartbeat lie the gemstones of experience,

For years now, many people have been asking how I got to Bali and really all I have been able to say is that it’s a long story.

What the Mayan Elders are sharing about 2012
Carlos Barrios, Mayan elder and Ajq’ij (is a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide) of the Eagle Clan. Carlos initiated an investigation into the different Mayan calendars circulating. Carlos along with his brother Gerardo studied [...]Precious Gift of Life
What a ridiculous attitude to the precious gift of life…. this constant violence, greed and scapegoating. It is a time for deep reflection, humility (in the true sense) and soul searching at both an individual and collective level.
It is time to rediscover a profound love and gratitude for the miracle of life, for ourselves, for [...]Christmas Wishes
Pauline would like to wish everybody a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2011.
She would also like to extend her special appreciation to everyone for their interest, comments and feedback throughout the past year. It really means a lot to her.Ireland, the Island of Saints and Scholars?
Ireland was once known as the island of saints and scholars. The spirit of integrity and nobility of her people survived despite the many atrocities visited upon them by the betrayals, both spiritual and temporal of those in power, their lackeys and those Irish who, for many reasons, betrayed their own people.
There are many examples, in [...]From Ubud to Denpasar
These days the journey from Ubud to Denpasar (or ‘Badung’ to give it the traditional Balinese name) has become quite an extraordinary adventure. Beyond any doubt it is a very real lesson in being in the flow of the great ‘Nowness’. Road rules are kept to the skimpy minimum, if not ignored completely. Motorbikes with [...]
Germany continued….
One of the places I have come to know a little is the Pfalz. It is in South Germany near the French border. It is a beautiful area and has been the major wine growing area in Germany since Roman times.
For anyone who enjoys the peace and quiet of forest walks, without the discomfort [...]
