Creature Comfort by John/Safety/Home/Eco System/No Over Thinking/Contentment/Self=Awareness

 

Creature Comfort

 

Below the surface in its lair,

well fed, sheltered and safe,

our little friend thinks

no further than its sleep time.

No worries of tomorrow,

content, with a full belly,

and safe and warm,

what else is needed?

Perhaps a mate, 

but not now!

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on

 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do

 hope that you find them interesting, thought-

provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -

 

The Rock Philosophy

This simply written short story is aimed at those who

 seek to understand themselves, and through

 understanding themselves comes a greater

 understanding of life. 

 

The Life of Jesus

(as witnessed by his brother)

Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your

 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he

 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly

 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead

 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of

 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not

 better to know the truth?

The Great Earth Mother by John/Eco Poem/Nature/Elements/Harmony/Peace/Together

 

The Great Earth Mother

 

Air, water, earth, and fire,

natural elements which can inspire.

Grow, swim, fly, crawl or walk tall,

the Earth Mother, provides a home to all.

Yet each second ticks away,

never ever going to stay.

Each with a life of its own,

like a seed waiting to be sown.

On desert ground will they fall,

or fertile soil for harvest tall?

Appreciation of life and each other,

brings an understanding of the great Earth Mother.

Autumn Leaves by John/Nature/Winter/Seasons/Nostalgic/Peace/Tranquility/Meditation/Awareness

 Autumn Leaves

 

Walking around my childhood haunts,

natural beauty in abundance it freely flaunts.

A squirrel darts along a branch on high,

as if its home is in the sky.

My children now walk the self-same trails,

beside nature's glory, mortality pales.

Its autumn and golden leaves are falling,

I can feel it now and winter is calling.

Connection by John/Appreciation/Natural World/Eco Friendly/Being Mindful/Being Present/Happiness

 Connection

 

I stand still, breathing gently, fully,

my body and soul, as one, connected, truly.

The full golden moon, in its early dawn glow,

bathes me in light, trusting that I know,

everything is connected in an unseen way,

growing through knowing each and every day.

My Early Morning Walk

Yesterday I went an early morning walk, not to far though. I don't have my old dog Mackie anymore for company but I do take my staff.  Somehow or other it compensates for not having a dog, lead in my hand.   The staff and I have some history because its literal roots began in Tenerife.

I used to live in Tenerife and many years ago now my dog Mackie and I most weekends would set out for an early morning walk 'up the mountain' as I would say.  It was very high up and surrounded by forestry and beautiful scenery. On one of those walks I spotted a dead tree, not that there weren't a few about but this one caught my eye.  Next time I came back with my saw and I then had the raw version of my walking staff.

When I walk I sometimes stop and lean on my staff whilst I appreciate my surroundings for a few moments then move on.  Yesterday I paused on my path surrounded my trees and there was some metal structures for kids, a frog, a large mushroom etc.  It was still early with no none around, and I am leaning on my staff listening to the little stream and admiring the scenery when I heard a sharp ping.  I thought someone had thrown a stone which had hit the large metal mushroom.  I scanned the area, nothing. Then I heard a few more soft plops as something hit the earth.  I looked above, hailstones? I wondered.  Then there was a flurry off them with a few pings off of the metal structures.  Then I realised it was one of the trees releasing its acorns, something I had never witnessed before, at least not so dramatically. I felt blessed in witnessing it.

The Speck that wasn't

 

I keep water outside for my cat and this morning as I went to freshen the water I saw a very small speck or possibly a bit of grit on the dish. I was further away than the photo above when I first saw it. Anyway I went to look closer and much to my surprise I saw the following:-

 The smallest baby snail I have ever seen.

Changing The Lens

 

Changing The Lens

 

Nature’s vibrancy and life fill me with love,

whether it be a mouse, a worm or a snow-white dove.

The sun equally shines on rich and poor,

and that is a certainty of which, I’m sure.

At first thought, life can seem at times mundane,

boring, querulous, and anxious, driving me insane.

Yet, if I pause for thought and see it through,

I know it’s within me to start life anew!

Not by a physical act, like moving or changing my job,

but simply looking, listening and living as I cease to sob!

The true sunshine comes from within,

illuminating and beautifying, a maturity thing.

Now changing the lens on what I have seen,

I know that I can fulfil any dream.

So, no more sitting back; it is time to change,

there is nothing now out of my range.

On a dark night

instead of fright,

enjoy the sight,

of the green moon light!
