The Flame Haired Solstice Dreamer


Cold winter brings the Everfrost and jewels every tree
In a forest new as birth and old as old can be
A flame~haired dreamer wanders there and shelters from the wind
And spins her dreams around the trees to break the ties that bind
She takes her thread and spins anew and how the Greenwood smiles
As she spins a spell for freedom and for her spirit Wylde

The dreamer finds an ancient oak and shelters in his lee
In a forest new as birth and old as old can be
Tis summer now and birdsong weaves its magick through her spells
And humming bees drum drowsily in the foxglove's bells
The dreamer sits beneath the oak with yarn upon her knee
And spins and knits and weaves her dreams and sets her spirit free







where shall we get religion?

beneath the open sky, the sphere of crystal silence surcharged with deity

the midnight earth sends incence up, sweet with the breath of prayer

go out beneath the naked light and get religion there

oh my dear bloggers you are all just wonderful~thank you for your positive and encouraging comments.

i have to admit to feeling on a bit of an high right now, and yes my mind is still buzzing furiously~like happy bee's facing a wonderful field of wildflowers!

tomorrow i shall be talking with the OU learner support team.
 but i know i have made my final decision~i won't be stopping my OU forever, just for a few years~and who knows when i go back to it i may even opt for a different degree (at the moment i am doing history but i can go for either history, humanities or an 'open' degree).

i have another few bits to order to start the ball rolling but suffice to say *alittleeclectic* will become truly eclectic!

Hello missus, I took two years out of my OU degree, one year I was getting married and working full time and didn't have time, another year I was quite ill. Don't worry about it, pick it up when you feel ready, it took me 8 years but I got there eventually.

Song of Amergin


I am a stag of seven tines,

I am a flood across a plain,

I am a wind on a deep lake,

I am a tear the sun lets fall,

I am a hawk above the cliff,

I am a thorn beneath the nail,

I am a wonder among flowers,

I am a wizard: who but I

sets the cool head aflame with smoke?

I am a spear that roars for blood,

I am a salmon in a pool,

I am a lure from paradise,

I am a hill where poets walk,

I am a boar, ruthless and red,

I am a breaker threatening doom,

I am a tide that drags to death,

I am an infant: who but I

peeps from the unhewn dolmen arch?

I am the womb of every holt,

I am the blaze on every hill,

I am the queen of every hive,

I am the shield for every head,

I am the tomb of every hope.
All things share the same breath~the beast, the tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

The beauty of the trees,the softness of the air,the fragrance of the grass,speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,the thunder of the sky,the rhythm of the sea,speaks to me.

The strength of the fire,the taste of salmon,the trail of the sun,and the life that never goes away,they speak to me.

And my heart soars."
