Sometimes

Posted on February 12, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

We stand upon the precipice of all our lives have sown and look out on the garden of all that has now grown. Can we be proud of what we’ve done; the future left behind? Have we left behind us … Continue reading →

Tilting At Windmills

Posted on January 5, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

There’s bloody windmills everywhere – too many for my lance; if I should take them all on I wouldn’t stand a chance. Maybe I’m getting older but I’m much wiser too; I can’t fight every battle I’ll lose all if … Continue reading →

The Drones of Death

Posted on January 5, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Drones of Death fly silently to all corners of the land and turn the fertile wilderness into dead, drifting sand. The Drones of Death are corporate slaves, they look like you or me they come to end our freedom, … Continue reading →

Gaia’s Art

Posted on December 27, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

The world around me resonates to the most amazing tune; from the deepest greenest forest to the stark beauty of a dune. I wish I had the words to speak the views seen from my heart; there is no thing … Continue reading →

Religion Vs Spirituality

Posted on December 4, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Ravaged by religion, where does the Spirit hide; deep down in the Underworld, where many think it died. But the Spirit true will never die, it’s waiting to be free and the only ones to free it, are folk like … Continue reading →

Alive

Posted on November 29, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

In a world so full of wonder, I wonder how we forgot to bow our heads in wonder at the beauty that’s our lot. We come to this planet Earth as visitors for a short time; the way we behave … Continue reading →

The Tree

Posted on November 7, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

I worship at the Temple Of The Tree; that is the place my heart feels free. Gaia Rocks my battered old soul; it’s open air that keeps me whole. Forest or seaside walking with Gaia; nothing on earth can take … Continue reading →

The Forest

Posted on November 7, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

The city’s drone, the constant chatter, emphasising what just doesn’t matter. The world of wonder – wonder why I simply don’t break down and cry? But then the forest sets me free; that’s the place my heart needs to be.

Walking with trees

Posted on November 5, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

How can we walk out with these trees and not worship them bended knees. Even just the remnants we have left leave me, at times, of words benefit. The grandeur and the might I see remind me that life still’s … Continue reading →

Awaken!

Posted on October 22, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Awaken and look at the world around; Awaken and look where we are bound. Stand up for the way life ought to be; stand for the planet – stand tall and free.

The Dance

Posted on October 17, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

While walking in a forest a little while ago I saw a sight I’d never seen; I thought you’d like to know. A way up there amongst the clouds, as high as I could see was a wise old Gum … Continue reading →

Walking with Pedro

Posted on October 16, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

I took a walk with Pedro, who some of you may know; he is a kind and gentle soul who lives in Gaia’s flow. We walked among the tall trees and talked of what we knew and every step I … Continue reading →

Where in the world (a response to bible bashers)

Posted on September 10, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

Where does it live now, that beauty I know? Where in the world do the wild rivers flow? Where is the place where the silence begins? For that is the place we’re forgiven our sins. Our sins are the crimes … Continue reading →

The end is nigh

Posted on August 11, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

“The end is nigh” I heard him say, but I just carried on my way. I knew ’twas there and just begun; but life’s so busy, I must run. So there I sat like Nero’s clone part of this monster … Continue reading →

Gaia’s New Dawn

Posted on August 6, 2018 by a foolhardy florilegium

What is the path to the future I seek? Why is the future of the planet so bleak? Why can’t I rise up embracing the Dawn not finding another dead species to mourn? When will I see the earth’s Spirit … Continue reading →
