I rarely dip into the outside world in terms of mainstream media, for it unnerves me!
I keep myself occupied in the world as I know it…the one where I weave wreathes from Willow and Dogwood…
The one where cruelty and chaos are not allowed entry!
You’ll understand my terror, for that’s why you’re here…to touch base with reality!
Yes, this is reality…as it was meant to be and in the world most inhabit, is not!
I have always chosen this reality, both as a child living in poverty and as a mother creating sanctuary for her children in London.
I have always sought out Mother Earth, wherever she was hidden from view by retail parks and shopping centres, housing estates and suburbia.
I chose this reality.
I planted it, brought it forward, share it and allow it’s force to move out in waves of healing and peace.
We all choose our own realities and what we allow carelessly in or strive to keep out!
The Lughnasadh Garden is another reality being birthed at Bealtaine.
Just as wanton destruction is being justified all over this Sacred Earth, the need for creation is more necessary than ever in the history of what we laughingly refer to as “civilisation!”
And, if you are brain-washed enough to think for a minute that politicians will lift us all up to a better life, then you should really seek your inspiration with them… and not here at this little portal!
Regardless of party/gender/colour or creed, politicians take us to war and care nothing for the protection of Mother Earth…and that in my view is unforgivable!
Today I am feeling angry with what I saw as I looked at the world through the poisonous media.
Even Social Media is being taken over by hate and vitriol!
As I approach my birthday and my 61st year, I am becoming convinced more and more of the need to keep one’s head down and continue to nurture and care for Mother Earth.
It’s all I care to do, for there is much destruction and violence all around that has reached a point of insanity!
I don’t know where to go from here, except to keep doing as I do and keep this website going…where, I do not know!
(Thank you Alana!)
For lovers of Bealtaine Cottage, there is a second website, growing daily and now with over 85 new blogs and hundreds of unseen photographs, as well as podcasts and stories… Visit:
The greatest concern of our times is happening on a daily basis and affecting every one of us.
The gabbling media assault our senses with celebrity highs and lows, sport and highly edited titbits of what is happening internationally…all the while keeping away from any real conversation about the chaos that is the weather all around us and those dreaded words: Climate Change.
I would like to offer words of comfort and reassurance, but that’s not possible, for I live in the real world and events are happening too fast for me to be able to offer predictions that will reassure!
So, let me tell you about the people I hope to reach with this news…
If there is a Universal Consciousness…give it the name Goddess, God, Divine, Mother Earth…whatever you know it by…then that consciousness must surely want us to care as deeply for our planet as we care for ourselves.
