Nereides, 1902 by Gaston Bussière
Of what do I dream,

when I close my eyes?

I dream of the sea

and the star filled skies.

 

From constellations above

I would fashion a crown;

a cloak from the sea

matches my moonbeam gown.

 

I roam in the heavens

with Arianrod and Aether.

I swim in the oceans

with Nereides beneath.

 

With heartbroken Sirens,

sing laments to the seas.

With Aquilo the wind

I sing songs in the breeze.

 

When I close my eyes,

to this earth I’m not bound.

Neither time nor dimension

can tie this soul down.

Versatile Blogger Award

Yesterday, Paul the author of the ‘Living in Awareness’ blog, nominated me for The Most Versatile Blogger Award.

I was extremely excited and very surprised as I have not been blogging that long! Receiving the VBA is not only humbling it is also a positive affirmation as I sometimes feel blogging is a bit like being a X Factor contestant; whilst I might think my writing is okay, others might be secretly cringing 🙂

Many thanks Paul, this has really made me do a happy dance. Please do check out ‘Resting in Awareness’, it is a beautiful gentle blog with lots of practical information.
