SERENITY
Serenity flows like the waves on the shore
Gently caressing the sand and stones
Serenity flows like the rivers and streams
Washing away our fears and woes
Serenity flows like the rays from the sun
Warming our spirits
Our hearts and our souls
Serenity flows like the stillness of night
Embracing the world in its soft velvet cloak
Serenity flows with each sunrise and sunset
Lighting our pathway with the purest light
Serenity flows when we still our minds
Sit quietly at peace
To listen – to be
Serenity

Allow yourself to smile
Allow yourself to be happy
Allow yourself to hop and skip and enjoy life
Allow yourself time out – just for You
Sit quietly
Listen to the waves lap upon the shore
Watch the raindrops dance on the windowpane
Lift your face to the sun
Be warmed in heart and spirit
Allow yourself to live
Allow yourself to be

LOCKDOWN
The coronavirus has placed us in a somewhat Yin Yang position. On the one hand our movements are restricted and social interaction is effectively banned. On the other hand, many of us, (excluding the essential workforce) are in the enviable position of being able to focus on ourselves and have the time to honour the promises we made, whether it was a New Year’s resolution or a ‘to do’ list we wrote a year ago.
HONOUR YOURSELF
If you have access to WIFI the big wide world is at your disposal. Everything you need is online. Education and creativity literally at your fingertips. Art lessons. Writing classes. Yoga. Crafting and Card making. You’ll be amazed at how much stuff you have in your home that is great for crafting. If your tastes are more on the aural plane, tune in to some amazing Opera or Musicals. Travel the world online. Be transported and allow your imagination free rein. The list is endless.
UNIVERSALITY
The coronavirus is a serious illness and fatal in many sad cases. It has put us all in the exact same position all over the world, regardless of colour, creed or any other individuation. Ironically, lockdown and no social interaction is the norm for many people. Right now, they are shrugging as if to say: ‘What’s new?’ As for social distancing, far too many people don’t have that choice. If you’re living in a shanty town, be it in Africa or India, tapped water or electricity supply in your home is non-existent, or any of the appliances that we take for granted.
“Fear makes us feel our humanity.” Benjamin Disraeli. Never was a saying more apt.
GOD’S TEARS/ DEORA DE
Heavy laden
Spiralling out of control
In a world that screams unreality
And you cry
Fear – terror driven
We run towards destruction
Whilst your arms outstretched
Reach towards us
And you cry
Outside my door
The branches of the fuchsia sigh in the wind
And tenderly I hold the blossoms in my hand
Heavy-laden with grief
With love
Your gift
And You cry
Deora De – the tears of God

THIS BLOG COMES WITH A WARNING
Do not spend all this free time you’ve been GIFTED doing housework, or spring cleaning. This time has been given to us for a reason. Perhaps, it’s to continue working from home. Perhaps, it’s to make us more aware of the importance and value of socializing and meeting friends and family more often. Use this time wisely. And if you’re working from home ensure you take time for YOU!.
The waters in Venice are clear. Pollution and CO2 levels have fallen rapidly. The universe has spoken. Are we listening?
A NEW WORLD BECKONS
Let us build a new world
Not of steel or stone, but of enlightenment
Let us light
Thousands of candles throughout the universe
Flickering in the darkness
The power lights of hope
Let us stretch us our hands to each other
From country to country
From continent to continent
Helping hands
Loving hands
Hands of peace
That offer and bring forgiveness
The gifts of love and unity
Let us build a new world
A World of Light
That reflects the true spirit of who we are
Why we are here
A World of Light
That will reflect the truth and remind us
Of that truth and
Guide us
