It is hearth
And warmth
And belonging
And mine
It is ours
It is nurturing
It is right
It is needful
It is sanctuary
It is necessary
It is comfort
It is Home
Authentic Voice
Posted by: soultide on: April 28, 2007
I’m learning to let my true voice emerge
Without the filters that destroy its essence
I’m beginning to recognise its tone and resonance
Which truly make it my own
Writing daily grounds me
I feel more centred, more real
More or less in control of some things
But that’s the way life should be
Writing is my healing act
On the page I pour [...]

I love this magical Riversleigh Manor House and in particular my Study. I love how whenever I enter my room, the view from the window is different everytime. It’s like the house and the room know what I need to see on any occasion and shifts the view outside accordingly.
This evening I can [...]
Stillness in my Riversleigh Study
Posted by: soultide on: January 1, 2007
I am being told to be still
Rushing around in my head
Looking for the next thing to do
Is not that healthy
It’s like being afraid of being yourself
Being by yourself
With yourself
And just being
It takes some courage
To be still with your thoughts
And then allow them to dissipate
So that true consciousness takes over
But I will practise until
I can be [...]
Secret of the Season
Posted by: soultide on: December 25, 2006
I’ve discovered the Secret of the Season
I’ve discovered that to feel like an outsider
Is the result of looking too much within
Dwelling within,
Only thinking of yourself
The Secret of the Season
Is simply to cultivate a giving heart
A generous heart
Life is more hopeful when you give unconditionally
Outside

I see and hear
Preparing festivities
Outside am I
From events
Cloudy uncertainty
Raging within
Shake myself out of it
And be present again
Comfort
Posted by: soultide on: October 22, 2006
It feels good to pop in here again
Sink into my big comfy chair
Put my feet up onto the stool that was molded for my particular feet
The bookcases lining two of the walls make me feel safe and content
I’ve been travelling and still have far to go
But this is my haven and my den
And it’s good [...]
Solitude
Posted by: soultide on: April 1, 2006
I am here listening to my own breathing
Knowing that in a moment or two
My loved ones will be joining me
I take this short time to go deep within myself
To re-connect to the real me
Hoping that I can maintain it when I am not alone
I take a few minutes to remember who I am
To realise that [...]
