A camelia….
Such delight to watch a flower bloom.. each day noticing the subtle changes as it spreads out its petals. Thankful and grateful for the time and space to notice.
Basking in Nature…
A bloom….
I went to get in my car this morning…. and happened to glance at the garden next to it… i knew thst there was a bud
waiting to happen…and was quite excited as i had never seen this plant flower. And here it is…
Wordless Wednesday….
Retreat Musings…
There is something blessed about taking time out to meditate,to explore my inner world and it’s connections with outer reality. The silence is deep, the group feeling is warm and welcoming and our teachers mindful of the insights, joys and sorrows that may come up.
Time passes… noticing happens…
Sitting in the generous shade gazing outwards….
Multi coloured parrots cruise the grass looking for tidbits…
Rocks stand steady…lichens soak up the sun’s rays as they spread across the surface of the rocks.
Galahs roosting in the tops of the eucalypts
The bell keeps us anchored to time passing…
Looking deeply….
Contemplating the universe…the clouds, the rocks, the curves, life and death
Each day the sun rose…
In gratitude to those with me on retreat
Abundant thanks to Anna Markey and Jason Siff teachers of Recollective Awareness Meditation

End of year Reflections
I want to express my thanks and appreciations to all those who have followed, liked and commented on my blogging efforts this year. It has been an amazing learning experience for me….an ongoing one I might add. I have learnt so much about life in other places, people’s incredible capacity to be creative beings and the myriad of ways that this can be expressed.
I feel like I know a few of you a little bit through your photos and writings. I have been blown away by people’s talents, creativity, empathy and generosity both in the sharing of knowledge and the sharing of their personal experience and passions.
In the bigger picture it fills me with optimism for our future when I explore other’s blogs, read freshly pressed and appreciate the incredible images that grace my screen on a regular basis from all over the planet… thank you again and I look forward to the coming new year with anticipation and joy
Yours in gratitude ….Trees
Flowers in the garden make me smile
Colours….
Shapes….
joy and beauty…..
sustenance… ♡
