Greetings
Beautiful April has come and gone and now the month of May has arrived. Winter is approaching!!
I say beautiful April as the weather here in Perth has been sublime, with warm, still, sunny days, cloudless blue skies. No rain at all (which is worrying for the farmers as they wish to seed their crops!).
February brought us record rains so the sub soil is still moist and the trees, flowers and street lawns still look very happy!
Nature’s Support During Change
These serene days have gifted me a magical environment within which I can better cope with the final days in the life of my nearly one hundred and three year old incredible mother. What an amazing journey it has been for her and all of our family.
Most days through April I have (along with many other beachgoers) gone to the much loved beach and enjoyed myself swimming in the still warmish welcoming ocean water. This is what I love doing!
It is being one with nature that supports me so wonderfully during this time of change.
A few years ago I wrote a poem about the beach and posted it on my newsletter. It is (I think) worth repeating again.
THE BEACH
THE BEACH
Do you ever go down to the sea and the sand?
The sparkling waters at the edge of the land
It really takes my breath away
As I venture forth there every dayMercurial splendour at its best
Allowing my body to float and rest
Within its enveloping and tingling foam
I know I have found my sacred homeMerriene Scott
What is your way to cope with stress and find balance and harmony?
Do what you love and enjoy!
Shine your light with love.
