My eager heart fell again...
Like it had never had pain;
Never been broken.
Why so soon?
Why so quickly?
The heart feels no fear!
Ever ready to love...
Remaining open; remaining pure.
There I go again,
Fluttering to the love theme...
Til the day my love will be requited.

Rose buds
Petalled, gently, silent touches caress the skin.
Speak it, relay it, play it, spend the day inside it.
What of it? Blooming stars gaze - speak the unspoken word.
Soul free - free the soul, live it, your way.
Actors mock, there's not much talk - speak it still.
Lay awake for it, petalled down, keeping it free.
Blabbering woman or sensitive soul?
Growth belongs to us, to this day - let it be ours.
There is a depth amongst you, keep it real.
Misunderstood yet still - never to become more than that.
Petalled still, gently spoken, let the trees bloom with roses!
Cherried blossoms, lost amongst them, their pretty smell.
Keep the silence, speak the real thoughts - flowering gardens.
Forget the pretense, no matter how intense - have sense!
Rose buds blossom into flowers, beautfiful, pretty ladies.
Their days are numbered, so are yours...

Devastating
Devastating - realising the real you,
After all that's been said and done...
You've won.
Or so it seems; the battle, not the war!
What are you fighting for? The real deal?
Or your own ambition?
Did your heart get lost in the process?
I think so! I know so!
The heart doesn't care for ambition,
Silly rules or selfish needs!
The heart loves, gives, soars, expresses endless beauty.
The art of the heart is love...

If you're going to be anything...
Be an Inspiration...
A trail blazer
A pioneer
Do it without hestitation
Though it will be hard
Though they may hate you
Be it, for if not you -
Then who?

Beautiful messages from friends along the road...
"Sunnyside is slightly less sunny without you and your verve, energy and yet thoughtful clamness. Wishing you people that welcome you, appreciate you and inspire you too."
"You have the courage to make decisions others can only dream about...you are a born leader. You are an inspiration to many and an unbelievable amazing and kick ass friend to me. You give 100% in everything you do. The Lisa I know always wants to challenge herself and get the most out of life. Your shoes say "No fear" - your head says bring it on. I'm going to miss you, the tea, the oversized coloured cups, the Lisa on the bike never stopping, the Lisa who took off my door, painted the room and built the wardrobe, the painter, circuit champion and Taekwondo dancer yet there is a big bold world out there that needs Lisa and it's yours for the taking!"
"Lisa, genius ninja and lovely free-spirit, the world is a brighter and better place for you being in it. All the best on your travels, I know that good things will come to you. Hope you're back this way at some point in the great unknown future. Will miss you like crazy! Homeslice!"
"Dear Lisa - thank-you so much for all your wonderful help and inspiration! People like you are rare. Keep your enthusiasm, talent and smile up!"
"as Ali himself might say, you the greatest - the double greatest even! I've had a brilliant trip and got to see what a good friend you are to me and others, all the time."
"keep spreading the joy Lisa and help us all come alive."
"You're so friendly and crazy, we could share so much time with a laugh. I love your character. I was glad that you were trying to listen to what I said. Thank-you for trying to understand carefully. Your painting makes everybody happy - never stop painting!! Wishes you all the best with lots of love."
"Thought I would give you this small gift as a token to thank you so much for your wonderful gift to me - your total trust and friendship and for being the lovely person you are; a funny - little, gorgeous, little Irish - talkin', rapid-fire sweet-talker of a woman...who blew me away from day one! You are a very precious individual...the world is a much better place for having people like you within it..."
"I will miss you so much. Thank-you for always being a true friend. To know you is to love you, you truly bring joy to the world."

She'll be that Girl
That walks alone
That Speaks the truth
That tells it so
She'll be that Girl
Separated forever in heart-knowing
Ahead of the pack
A leader, a pioneer
She'll be that Girl
That stands alone
Misunderstood
Infinite wisdom
Many past lives
She'll be that Girl
Colourful they say
But why so different?
Why can't she be like the rest of us?
An outcast
She'll be that Girl
That hurts just like everyone else
Feeling pain more intensely at times
Everything intensely
She'll be that Girl
Misunderstood
Harsh, hard, painful lessons
Heart-breaking
Generousity beyond words
Strong vulnerability
She'll be that Girl
Waiting longer, stooping lower
Raising higher
Spiritual journey - the divine quest
Simple living, living with the basics
She'll be that Girl
A life without regrets
reaching new heights
A spirit like the wind
She'll be that Girl
An inspiration to all
Answering to divine call
Going with her heart
To the depths of her very soul
She'll be that Girl
Looks and stares in wonder and disgust
Questions, assumptions, perceptions
Wrongly accused
She'll be that Girl
A queen
Regal
Born to lead
She'll be that Girl
Achieving greatness of the soul
Humility
Strength
Courage
She'll be that Girl

Loneliness
A deep sadness overloads my eyelids
Heavy hearted I move forward...
Alone, no companion to call my own
No friends on the road...
Isolation, desolation, desert land.
No fertile soil to plant my roots
to blossom beauty
to grow my truth
just misunderstood.
Has the backpacker trail lost its glow?
Was it lost long ago?
Was I ever the backpacker?
Is this just the journey of the soul?
No tick box list!
Just the come and go flow
Still it hurts to live it so...
To be alone
Misundertood
No friends of truth
No connections true
Just hidden agendas
No service above self
A lost bunch
A room of people yet no connection!
Loneliness remains...

Fierce Spirit
Though woren out shoes,
They will not stop me.
With shoddy tools,
They will not stop me.
Less than the best to work with,
It - does - not - stop - me!
A pocket full of pennies,
A bag of second-hand clothes,
My favourite things stolen,
No place to call home,
It does not, will not detour me!
My spirit is fierce,
Fierce as a tiger,
Calm as a bear,
Flowing like a fish in familiar water,
My heart is there.
Stillness,
No hunger,
No want for anything,
I have all I need,
This moment is perfect,
Perfect as a dream.
An artist so it seems?
A poet sometimes too!
A traveller in the haze.
A dancer of the spirit,
Moves, movement, effervescent,
Caressing my very soul...
Youthful - forever youthful,
No stress, means youth!
Words flow like water,
The pictures I paint the same.
I have it all,
Yet nothing?
Richness of the soul,
I am consumed by beauty.
Beauty of the soul...

Master Teacher / Oracle Faery
Deep Guidance, Hard lessons, Truth unfolding, Inner strength, Wisdom
To teach? That is a priviledge, to know enough and to have experienced enough to teach that is an honour - this is who and what you are - easy eh? Not at all! For to teach of the spirit means endless lessons, hard lessons of the heart - to remain open and loving despite hurts and hardships.
Those who acquire knowledge in their specialist field must continue to do so and this is no different to spirituality. You already know this but sometimes continual growth can be hard - to have to surpass where you have been, to never rest on your laurels - this is strength, this is endurance, this is the life you chose long before time began.
Starter:
You are on the right path - you are a teacher of life and you are continuously growing and honing your skills so that you remain in beginners mind, never totally aware of your personal wisdom so that you can remain humble enough to pass it on without barriers. This is a positive, beautiful guide. It may be challenging at times but would you really want it to be easy? It's all unfolding beautifully.
Reverse:
Are you fighting the flow? Asking too many questions? Wanting to much control? let go...life like water works best when it is allowed to flow. You can't teach others if you don't lead by example so go back to the start and embrace beginners mind. It's beautiful.
I was given this beautiful deck of Faery Oracle cards by my dear friend Sherree. There is a blank card in there for to fill in my own personal guide and the Master Teacher / Oracle Faery is what came to me with an image of a Faery sitting on a throne wearing a Scholars hat, pointing ears, heart shaped face. This reading came out on paper after. It's here to remind me on the days I forget of who and what I am.

Blind-folded
I am walking forward blind-folded because I see the world through my heart and intuition. When we live by our intuitive, passionate hearts we are tested constantly. Sometimes even though we have trusted and lived by trust, the awareness, the knowingness, the ability to be strong in the intuition gets tested by taking away direction (where are we headed?) because we get smarter and closer to the truth.
The universe sends out its messages, which we follow, each one rewarded but a final resting place seems elusive, out of sight, like the light at the end of the tunnel or the pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow.
As rainbow children we follow the rainbow in hope for our own treasures yet we never know when we will find it...
But find it we will for it is within us, swirling, jumping impatiently like a child, glowing and growing keeping us alive.
We are the blessed blind-folded bunch, we are together as one and our treasures are coming to us, teaming forward, cheering for our trust, for our courage, for the love in our hearts.
We're going see all our dreams come true and the rewards will be greater than we could ever imagine.
:-)

Stargirl - an inspiring Read
Stargirl is true to her name, I couldn't put the book down. I could relate to her huge heart, living the impossible dream, being an outcast yet remaining true to her own beautiful soul. She sees the beauty in others and in her own unique way helps them to see it and make it shine. She's not a character, she is very real - these people - star people exist and they exist solely to bring love and joy to our hearts so that we will some day soon learn to do the same through our own beautiful uniqueness. As soon as we learn to see it, as soon as we learn to stop hiding from it we will indeed too shine like stars and be the star people we truly are, peeling back the layers of mud that society has wrapped around us through years of conditioning.
