NOW AND THEN - THE DREAMER WAKES

Image
Dream time, to fly away, meet lost loves, find answers to the deepest questions, awake to face the future with truth, courage and love.   

NOW AND THEN - THE TIME IS NOW

Image
  I am reminded that there is nothing as precious as the time we are granted to live our lives. It is easy to fritter this away, waiting for the time to be right, not appreciating that the time is now. 

NOW AND THEN - BECAUSE

Image
From Paris to Blackpool Pier, memories flow as day breaks and the witness awaits.  

NOW AND THEN - FAITH

Image
  More nights caught in the other world of dream time, waking to capture conversations, remember what for a while was reality. 

NOW AND THEN - TODAY

Image
  A simple but important message, do not wait to let your people know they are loved. Do it now. 

NOW AND THEN - LOVE AND SONG

Image
 

NOW AND THEN - BEYOND IMAGINATION

Image
Inspired by waking dreams and the morning sun dripping silver onto the Mediterranean.  

NOW AND THEN - DIAMOND

Image
 Witness to the shining of the light. 

NOW AND THEN - HOPE

Image
At a time when hope is needed more than ever, the simple pleasures of nature bring me joy. Every year I feel the light of spring with the arrival of the swallows after their epic migration from South Africa. I have spent an anxious few weeks now waiting for their return to the village after reading reports that many had not survived the spring storms. Yesterday I saw the first swallows swooping over my roof terrace, not yet in their normal numbers but I hope more are on their way.  Once again, for another year, I am missing the bluebells. They are another sign of hope and love, a sea of sky blue carpeting the woods, reminding me of my childhood, my loved and lost and special times my own children and dear friends. Maybe next year I will walk in the bluebells.

NOW AND THEN - INTO THE LIGHT

Image
Leaving our fears behind as we walk into the light, as ever the word is love. 

NOW AND THEN - AWAKENING

Image
   

NOW AND THEN - AMOR PAZ LUZ

Image
May your hearts' desires shine bright to the stars  in love, peace and light.   All my love to my family, dear friends and everyone who has inspired, encouraged and supported me during this difficult year. 

NOW AND THEN - HERE

Image
Loss is part of our human experience, most of us will suffer the death of people we love during our life and face the long process of grieving. There are times when our loved ones are quietly remembered with love and smiles and other days when their absence is a struggle. It helps me to know they are always with us, in our memories, in our dreams, in our daily lives. 

NOW AND THEN - FOREVER

Image
It is hard to believe 5 years have passed without my wonderful Dad, although as I write the word 'without', aware of him looking down at me from the mantelpiece, I know he is still with me and always will be. 

NOW AND THEN - HARMONY

Image
Dream time, back in bluebell woods, standing on a sea washed shore as dawn rises, holding hands in peace, love flowing, promising to witness the dream as we wake to a new day. 

NOW AND THEN - SHINE ON

Image
  Never be afraid to say what you feel, how ever crazy it seems, whatever the fear of ridicule. Our story is our truth, our dream world reflects reality,  sharing brings healing and peace. 

NOW AND THEN - CALLING

Image
 The dreams linger, half formed in the half light, waiting for the call to turn dream worlds into reality. 

NOW AND THEN - IN THE CIRCLE

Image
At this time of year when unrelenting heat dries the land and the trees and countryside wait for autumn rains, I long for the cool green of the North, where I visit in my dreams. 

NOW AND THEN - GLOAMING

Image
There is a brief moment when the setting sun slips away, the moon is rising, stars are starting to blink and I am lost in the depths of perfect blue. Gloaming more usually brings to mind winter oak woods, crows flapping at dusk, the moon through bare branches but today the word was given to me and it seems a perfect fit for the Spanish twilight.    

NOW AND THEN - TO SEE

Image
 

NOW AND THEN - LOVE IS THE ANSWER

Image
 When all seems dark, love is the answer. Follow the light. 

NOW AND THEN - WHISTLING

Image
  I am blessed by nature, living near to both mountains and sea, able to lose myself walking in trees. The wind on my mind, whistling seemingly impossible dreams. 

NOW AND THEN - DREAM HEALING

Image
  Lost again in the dream world, where all is possible, peace and healing flow as golden as the setting sun on the sea.  We only need to wake and remember. 

NOW AND THEN - BORDERLINE

Image
The healing power of nature as our troubles are washed out to sea, love and forgiveness bringing peace. 

NOW AND THEN - HEALING

Image
  I am still haunted by the thought that tomorrow maybe too late, as others have said so well in words and song, say it now, heal the hurts, find peace in our hearts. 

NOW AND THEN - MAY CHIMES

Image
Remembering my mother on her birthday. My grandchildren and I tinkle the wind chimes, as she always did when walking by in her garden. 

NOW AND THEN - MIRRORED

Image
The desire to connect with our lost loves, to speak with them one more time, to say the words that were never said and find peace is one that I imagine we all feel at times. If only they were the other side of the mirror looking back at us.  

NOW AND THEN - BE LOVE

Image
  I had little hope of seeing the sun on a damp and cloudy day. It came out as I walked through this arch  of holm oak, the winding ivy and mossed stones glinting, lighting the path onwards. The peace and serenity I felt stayed with me as these words came to my mind in dream time. 

NOW AND THEN - LOVE IN BLUE

Image
Once again I am missing bluebells. I am fortunate to be able to walk in Mediterranean woods, like all of our time spent with nature, they are restoring and energising places. Still, I miss the bluebells, their beauty and the feeling of peace and healing I feel when walking in woods with loved ones. In my mind today are those who are no longer with us, who loved bluebell woods, who I find still in our sacred places.
