This has always been my way.  Make do with what you have and recycle and re-use.  Buy second hand where possible.  I do not like consumerism.  This has done so much harm to the environment. People are addicted to shopping for things they don't need.

So, grasping the rough protuberances of the rock, he tugged and toiled amain, and got himself quite out of breath, without being able to stir the heavy stone.

North Western New South Wales - Crocodile Rock
as I named this place on Bolloi Creek near Boggabri

Quote from, "The Minotaur," Tanglewood Tales for Girls and Boys, 1853

When we walked through these rocks we were very careful of where we walked.  We were walking on the land of the Gomeroi and their land is sacred just as all the lands are to the people.  I lost my Nanna hat here... hope it loves its new home amongst the rocks.  To amain means to use force and power and we pondered the birthing process, pushing amain, yes this surely was a place of power.

The system is broken!  I have said this for many years now, "woe to us if we have to ever test this because we will find out that it really doesn't exist."   I quoted this in 1998 in some of my assignment and assessment writings discussing the system.

It is voting day today in the NSW State Election.  It is clear there are nil to be trusted inside of the dodgy system we are sewn up into.  Independents who stand against mining and the Greens I suppose.  But the system needs to change ideally speaking!

Magic is essentially the higher understanding of Nature

Some people cannot make that leap to understand connection. Connection to the All. Understanding that the All is held in the mind of the all and that the all is all there is -  is where magic happens and all the fineness of respect for all.  But also the understanding that nature rises up when called also - so shall we do the same if we are true to our divinity. 

Being connected to the infinite of everything all at once is all too much it seems for some.  I often wonder if it is money that stops them making that last leap or fear of the loss of it?

Montana-Star

I haven't given up fighting for the love of my older two kids Jesse and Matilda. I miss these guys terribly but I cannot let those feelings choke my life either.   So I live and I learn, and I suppose I am thankful for the wonderful years I did have with the guys in my life.  Some mothers are afforded far less time with their loved little ones before they are taken from them to heaven.  My kids are alive and doing well and I am ever grateful this this blessing. 

Montana pictured) does not share the same ill feelings as the others do, none of us are really sure what the problem with them actually is.   It appears like they needed to born from a limp family to fit in with all the other limp families, and so they invented it all.  I was never "Limp".

Thus she contrives to intenerate the granite and felspar, takes the boar out and puts the lamb in and keeps her balance true.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Compensation," Essays, 1841

Intenerate: To make soft or tender; soften

Ralph Waldo Emerson discusses the Natural Law of Compensation or POLARITY as it is better known as to me and he does discuss it as polarity during the discourse by Ralph Waldo Emerson

POLARITY, or action and reaction, we meet in every part of nature; in darkness and light; in heat and cold; in the ebb and flow of waters; in male and female; in the inspiration and expiration of plants and animals; in the equation of quantity and quality in the fluids of the animal body; in the systole and diastole of the heart; in the undulations of fluids, and of sound; in the centrifugal and centripetal gravity; in electricity, galvanism, and chemical affinity. Superinduce magnetism at one end of a needle; the opposite magnetism takes place at the other end. If the south attracts, the north repels. To empty here, you must condense there. An inevitable dualism bisects nature, so that each thing is a half, and suggests another thing to make it whole; as, spirit, matter; man, woman; odd, even; subjective, objective; in, out; upper, under; motion, rest; yea, nay.

Compensation

from Essays: First Series (1841)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The wings of Time are black and white,
Pied with morning and with night.
Mountain tall and ocean deep
Trembling balance duly keep.
In changing moon, in tidal wave,
Glows the feud of Want and Have.
Gauge of more and less through space
Electric star and pencil plays.
The lonely Earth amid the balls
That hurry through the eternal halls,
A makeweight flying to the void,
Supplemental asteroid,
Or compensatory spark,
Shoots across the neutral Dark.

Man's the elm, and Wealth the vine;
Stanch and strong the tendrils twine:
Though the frail ringlets thee deceive,
None from its stock that vine can reave.
Fear not, then, thou child infirm,
There's no god dare wrong a worm.
Laurel crowns cleave to deserts,
And power to him who power exerts;
Hast not thy share? On winged feet,
Lo! it rushes thee to meet;
And all that Nature made thy own,
Floating in air or pent in stone,
Will rive the hills and swim the sea,
And, like thy shadow, follow thee.

A beautiful peice of work indeed.  A beautiful description of what is absolute truth.... not relative truth  ABSOLUTE TRUTH

I know not whether I do not too much indulge the vain longings of affection; but I hope they intenerate my heart, and that when I die like my Tetty, this affection will be acknowledged in a happy interview.

"Where ever you go, go with all of your heart."
 ....  Confucius  ....

Corrugate Heart

 The brain and the heart must work in unison to achieve enlightenment and to be in a state of true balance. 

Both sides of the brain must be in accord because one side cannot take precedence over the other.  The sacred Masculine and the sacred Feminine of action and creation brings about miracles.  Our great work while on earth is to work it or walk it out as they say!

I think that walking and working are one and the same.

 "Good Order is the foundation of all things".
~ Edmund Burke ~

Standing in good order

Our steps are ordered, I have read this.  Order is a huge part of natural law.  All things in the universe know their place and are in the order of things.  Nothing we can do can stop this from happening although the greedy may try in vain.

No man who knows aught, can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally, were born free.
  ..  John Milton  ..

There is no real freedom in a punitive regime
when man made laws hurt so many

The police are used by corporations as if it is their very own private security force, paid for taxpayers  to do their bidding.  It could not be said any longer the Police Service (force) are a public service to protect the community from predators and perpetrators  or to protect the community from the true law breaking and violations to humanity coinciding with cuts to women's services  for support in violent situations and 37 woman have already died just this year alone since these cuts to services to woman and children. 

In my opinion this is planned to be this way.  This is not a mistake.  The establishment elite are well aware.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

~  William Shakespeare ~

and ....Never become fenced in..

Never fence yourself in on anything.  I think it is good to continually change your mind and let it move with the forces of nature as nature moves you.  

Nature moves me big time so I am continually feeling the changes that come washing over me.  It is like a spirit bath.   Bathing and you are submerged in energy that is being showered on you by allowing it to be in balance. 

Allowing both sides of the brain to be in unison and fully working with creation and action together, thoughts then action - these  are our powerful team.

Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship.  ~ John Milton ~

If there must be law .. make a law to enforce people see the beauty of the planet!

The beauty of nature is forgotten by governments in their rush of greed and economic blindness. The beauty is raped and torn asunder and will never regain this for our children's eyes.  A blind government leading an even blinder voting public who still consider it ok to back an entity that makes laws and has people sent to their deaths through poor legislation and war on other lands and war on our environment here at home.

Gaze early upon the beauty before thee ..
I Beseech thee, hold the vision tightly,
Allow this majesty to wash the inner workings of your soul
Flowing like a river through you
That healing light that touched you ...
Touched you from Olde

In my back yard .. it is majestic.

Aye!  It is beautiful and this morning, it was no different.   The colours stretching as far as the eye could see.

There is something mechanical that happens
When the intell goes lyrical
After the moons gone full
Forging its existence shaping our characteristics..
Hey you - Welcome to the Hill of truth,
Welcome to the top...
Well done getting away with the capacity
To hang on to what you got.     Mary-Ellen Peters

Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know.

~ Pema Chodron ~

There is nothing new under the Sun.

Eternity is a very very long time and many life times are usually traveled before we do finally learn all the lessons we need for an eternity as a spirit.  We are an integral part of the universe. 

'There is nothing new under the sun', is what I usually say.   Although each life time we traverse may be a different era and in a different time, the lessons will always be the same until we work it out.

Earth is not a platform for human life. It's a living being. We're not on it but part of it. It's health is our health.

~ Thomas Moore ~

Clean water means clean blood..

When the land is sick the people are sick... and vice versa.   All original peoples of the lands of the Earth have been trying to get this point across to invaders since the first point of contact.  Without this connection to the Earth, you cannot see in a deep way why it should be taken care of.  When things go wrong for people and they don't make this leap in their thinking, it shows they have an unconnected heart - brain connection.   Therefore if one is disconnected, they are incapable of not doing harm.   
When you do realize this symbiotic connection, its powerful enough to bring you to tears and to lament over the souls who cannot see the trees for the forest!

Brice comes looking for me if I am too long away!

I call that feeling my close to home feeling.  I feel it with certain people and how they smell to me.  Brice, Montana, they smell divine to me and I feel at home with them, they are my loyal soldiers of fortune that occupy the spaces of my heart.  Home is people as well as it is safety and I love Brice and I love being home with him.

I miss all my kids being around at home.  Its a new chapter now in 2015 and I have to leave behind the emptiness and look forward to filling my days with gardens and chickens and freezing nights cuddling in front of the fire like we are the only two people on earth.  Its given me something to feel secure and I have waited so long to feel this.  I am so grateful for that awesome close to home feeling.
