You know how I feel...
Nina Simone is a legend and her gorgeous poetic lyrics come to mind when I see this pic...
Happy Friday kids!

Divinity and Grace

This is how I find compassion

I stand between a tree and the sun

I remain until I can find the luminescence in aspen bark.

I continue because I seek the core of truth in every being.

This is how I find grace:

I surrender to water.

I surrender to the rock.

I obseve sensations on the surface of my skin.

This is how I practice gratitude:

I peel a tangerine.

I give away all it's quarter moon sections,

Allowing the fruit of service to introduce me to strangers.

With open palms,

I walk into the fire of life.

The soul needs no shelter from the sun.

I remember that everything is a part of me.

In my world

I seek the divinity of all things.

Finding an eagle feather on the corner of mystery,

I pick it up, holding it between my body and the sun.

Abandonment

Image credit | Sam Thomas - amazing artist

Ok so i have completely abandoned my blog for the last 6mths!

i guess its been for a few reasons... one is I have had very little time between a busy work schedule, a puppy who commands and absorbs most of my free time (willingly and lovingly mind you!) and the fact that I have been in a bit of a slump of late...

Though its all changing right before my eyes... well that last part at least!

The slump I've found myself emerging from meant that I found little that inspired me enough to blog about, and when I did, I just didn't seem able to find time! That's not to say there was nothing rad and wonderful being produced out there by peeps, I just wasn't looking for it!

Going from a place where I just didn't want to do anything or be anything, to a new perspective of looking forward with a fresh burst of energy, a renewed vigour for life and a good cleanse of my temple has been a breathe of fresh air!

Its amazing to me how deeply I can bury myself in insubstantial, unmeaningful and unhealthy habits that completely remove me from the playing field of my life... I got sick of watching an empty pitch, and finally realised there was no one holding me in the grandstands... so I got up off my ass and headed out to play again!

I have a lot to do to fully get myself back on track, so while I'm not promising to blog everyday, I am going to make an effort to adding something to this 'ere lil ol' visual diary more often!

So here a a few of the images I had buried deep in the bowels of my hard drive just waiting for a day that I had some time to share...

The above images were found somewhere on the web... not sure where but if these images are yours, please comment me and I will add the credit and link for you asap!

I saw these amazing artists a few weeks ago supporting Mamma Kin at the Loft... such an awesome gig. Emily had me completely mesmorised with her astoundingly beautiful presence, she's one of those artists that I could not take my eyes off! Her voice is so lovely and the music these guys produce is simply lovely! take a listen to the clip below, pretty cool vid... I like it, hope you enjoy!
