Strength, resilience, vitality, protection.

Grown from seed. Joy in bloom. Guiding messages. The bees know best. The harvesting.

Rest. Quiet the mind. Move with the darkening days. Hold fast to the seeds of next season. Give thanks.

Nos Galan Gaeaf,
The Eve of All Saints,
waiting in earnest
for the spirit of his face,
repeat this charm softly
and await his embrace.

“ Y fi sy’n dirwyn

Pwy sy’n dal “
:
“ I am winding,

Who is holding?”

Wait.

“Hurry husband,
I am winding.
Who is holding?
Lover, Don’t be late.”

“On This dark night
you secure my fate.
Future husband of mine,
on this threaded ladder
of love do climb.”

“ Y fi sy’n dirwyn

Pwy sy’n dal “
:
“ I am winding,

Who is holding?”

Wait.

“I am winding who is holding?”

Lover, don’t be late.

Seasonal story time.

Mam was wary about us heading out after dark. Especially at certain times of the year. She had learnt this from Mamgu, who was both the wariest and the wisest of all. We live our lives with the flow of the seasons, rooted in the old ways that Mamgu & Mam bring into the new. It’s what we are used to. Nightfall, especially during the dark half of the year, was a time to be tucked up safely inside with a wood fire and candlelight. Not a time to go wandering; “Leave the night’s sky to those who have business with it” was Mam’s take on it. Maybe I do have some business with the night’s sky though? Maybe I have some business with the stars myself? And it was this fervent questioning that led me to go out walking, across the fields after dark, on my own, on one particular night, the worst night of all, to be out after nightfall.”

*from “The Stardust Within Us” an adventure in the making

misty over the river
early morning sun
lights up the sky with loving

September sunlight
the last of the cornflower
autumn leaves bring change

We walked, wending our way
along the river bank,
meandering in memories,
skipping heartbeats,
holding hands.
Then you broke free,
ran as far as the eye can see,
into the sunset.
And I watched you drop
to your knees,
as the last drop of sun
joined the horizon.

wander outside with me,
through wild grass meadows,
beneath the wild oak tree,
when Summer rains fall
and the sunlight is hungry
and we haven’t a care
in the world.

We live in a beautiful place and have a lush stomping ground 💚🙏

It’s a short country mile to my heart from where you are, sweet man of wild mountainsides and valleys low;
Closer if you close your eyes, as you run with the dragonflies through the peach grass meadow.

As the crow flies, so do I; towards your wide open arms, sweet man of wild mountainsides and valleys low,
who wanders with the river’s flow.
Wherever I am, you are; wherever you are, I go.
