Everything has its opposite within it.Love can be very destructive if you mishandle it.Pain can help you find ways to grow and change.Fear can eventually lead you to a path of hope.

When you truly sing, you sing yourself free. When you truly dance, you dance yourself free. When you walk in the mountains or swim in the sea, again, you set yourself free.
We can’t fix, only support each other to process, manage, transform, make life-journeys in own way.
If you want to change something, whether in a relationship, work, or anywhere, identify and focus on the few most important bits, and don’t throw in extras to mess it up.
The misconception of something being a certainty sometimes gets to me until I remember we can change most things consciously.
There are always exquisite things and times to remind us of the original source of all beauty and love.
….the perfect beauty of the pattern that each raindrop makes as it joins its puddle.
Mist lies over the river like the icy breath of winter angels. Darkness gathers round… and it is beautiful.Thank you for this life, this death, whatever it is you arethat makes us finally see.

I don’t mind what you call yourself, so long as your heart is being true to you.
I constantly yearn to celebrate life & its infinite manifestations, to examine the details of everything including the human heart & mind.
Affirmations: “I love & respect my mind, body, spirit.” & “I do what best nurtures all parts of myself.” & “I thrive on wholeness.” Namaste!
Affirmation: What most fulfils & energizes me – mind, body, spirit – is what manifests in my life.
Dance your Soulful path / and you shall know the magic / of your mind & heart / and all the beauty laughing / to fill your rising self.
Instead of letting our emotions run amok, we can use our minds as tools to build or create realities that serve us better

Enlightenment is not about cocooning one’s self, but about integrating more fully with both your self and life.
ego promenades, flounces, pushes in unwanted places, trips, stands on others, whereas a sense of destiny grounds – you just do what you do
I believe in always being open to learning more through exploration of everything available and following one’s sense of curiosity, creativity, and playfulness.
If the spirit of wonder & curiosity stays alive in us, then surely we will always have new questions, and always expand our creativity in response?
If you are unaware of what’s within, you will be shown in the mirror of your near future life experience. Wiser to keep a step ahead.
Words fly like stones into clouds and accelerate….
Words to intrigue, inspire, examine, question, praise; Words to help us appreciate our world, our selves, our games; Words to dance our true soul fires gracefully free.
All I can say to people who hate their mothers for giving birth to them is “get the fuck out of your scaredy shells and kiss the world”.
What life means has individual answers for each of us.
I want to be part of the happiness team – let’s create the happiness team – from love, not greed, love of life & our planet, true & free.
I listen to the silenceand yearn to be more me,swimming in the sea of myself,learning eternally -finding out where the rocks areand smoothing them into sand.

Have trembled beneath the pressure of a light beam.
Allow the light to fall across you. Shadow or sunlight. Allow it to define your shape. In its way. Another day it may be different. It surely will be. Are we ever the same? Is the light? And the way a form presses into the grass?
from CHAOS?Trust the imagination – lines and shapes revealed – space and light instead of blackness. Silence being tentative, tender life of universe.
Having no need to judge, control, react, so forgiveness does not even arise.
Let’s forgive someone for Valentines day, it’s a great way to show love, and forgive yourself too for the hurt you held onto.
If you keep wanting to get back in the nest, you’re missing the amazing experience of coming out to play at life for a while.
Everything is reflected in both – outside (out there) and inside (in here) – marvel at it, experience, learn. The personal is also the universal, and the universal is also the personal.
What we think affects our life so much that life is for each of us just what we think it is. So the question of what life means has individual answers for each of us.
Smile, ask, listen, provide, thank” then “take time out to have fun & renew yourself” but “always dream up more questions”. – Julia Woodman
Needing to express what it’s like here…. / Trying to digest the incoming stream …. / And dream it all over again.
… as we travel again between life and death, Waking and dream, blinking, while layers within layers,None better, none worse, unravel and knit up before us . . .
You have everything inside you, though you sometimes only recognise certain bits relating to the current stage of your path.
We are alive in all our layers of self and selflessness – individuals becoming one.

Love yourself enough to open your eyes, and open your eyes enough to love yourself.

Find what is meaningful to you and stand by it. Even if you begin to wonder if there is any meaning to anything, continue to be yourself.
Don’t let anyone take your power by influencing what you do…. sure ask for advice when you are still deciding, but once you are sure what you want to go for, don’t let anyone deflect you. It is YOUR choice to make and to follow through.
I see people teaching how to make an impact, but i don’t want to make dents, i want to walk lightly on the earth, grateful for universal grace.
You can let go of all that stuff you thought was real when you know it’s just a game. What a relief, what a state of grace that brings.
We are consciousness examining and expressing itself so that it can become increasingly aware of its infinite capacity for being and evolving.
I am beautiful, one with cosmos, life force, eternal abundance, joy, vitality, infinite consciousness.
Life wants you to be complete unto yourself, generally enjoy and expand consciousness, open, explore, love.
I am nurtured within the womb of universal consciousness. It supports my developing awareness as I witness, engage, learn, create, exchange.
Life is like a game – we should be curious to play it – you explore and learn and grow – that is what it is for – that and having fun. It all expands consciousness- your own, the collective, and the cosmic.
If all is Consciousness, experience its infinity, create your own journey through it, be amazed.
We are consciousness playing a game with itself to see how it feels.
I believe in the power of love, and planting positive thought seeds into the collective consciousness.
Theere is an imperative to be in a process, the energy & consciousness of life means for us to be constantly observing, learning & becoming.
Can we be clear about who we are, what we want? Can we be fully present in our truth, and communicate that? Can we understand each other?
Recognising our own mistakes helps us to empathise non-judgementally with others and helps enable us to understand their issues.
grappling with some small understanding of this place, this time, we’re in” my poem “In a BishopsWood Clearing
Dancing to the sounds of trees and stones and slow minutes ticking in our hearts and bones.
Time is not ours and we would not own it. It does not wound us to say so.from the prose poem INNOCENCE
The children walk away from me, flick flickety off at a tangent between thin blotched beech trunks, then turn like yo-yos at the end of their strings and come back to me” from the poem “In a BishopsWood Clearing
Love, love, love, love is all you can do, even in the face of bitterness, pain, anger, confusion, it’s the only thing to keep you steady and stop you biting back.
Be honest with yourself, face your feelings and what they really mean, then you will be able to deal with them and move on.
We celebrate beauty in life and all its possibility so we open it up for others and at the same time for ourselves.
Count the times. The number of times you have seen the silence of another world seep though a crack. The number of times you have heard the sea trying to escape from the blue painted wall.
Be still and know you are loved –Feel the arms of the universeRocking you to its steady hum.
You are a child of the universeCome to choose how to live here.You are a child of the universeLoved beyond measure.
You can judge me all you want, but it’s just ridiculous coz we’re both part of the same universe. Let’s just ride the horses into the meadow and let them roll in the delightful grass.

2015 – the year of infinity – if you add all the numbers up you get 8 – which on it’s side is the sign of infinity – and I think it’s going to be one hell of a good year for us.
never put all the good people in one plane, ship, train …..
Never judge the othersfor each one wears a coverfor their version of the original.(talking about individuals in the stream of consciousness that gives rise to each one of us.)
You have to accept all sides of yourself – there’s no point fighting them – just learn how to handle them, and return to the positive, balanced being you know you can be, once the winds have blown through.
Thou shalt wear trousers, but they shall fall half down to teach humility over arrogance.
Cherish the fabulous, the fantastic, the beautiful, the graceful, the moments of abandon, laughter, quirkiness. Cherish the tiny incredible details, the gigantic & varied display, and the infinite depths – of life.
Everything I am seems to be inside my awareness, rather than my awareness being inside of me.
Words to invoke peace & awareness. Words to create freedom and fairness. Words to plant sacred seeds. and sing us back into balance.
Cherish the others in your life. Cherish your freedom to be yourself. Cherish your freedom to choose who you want to be, what you want to do next.
Love yourself enough to give what matters every chance of working by communicating as well as you possibly can, and trying for as long as you wish.
We have to let go of mistakes we can no longer do anything about and move forward with clarity, focus on positivity.
Find your truth and make your existence real as you choose it. Your creation is your own greatest gift. (Neings of Light via Joules)
Let us not fear our wild thoughts for they can give rise to wondrous contemplation, creative endeavour, life changing ideas, momentous bliss.
Grant me the wisdom to know when to keep trying and when to stop wasting time, the patience to keep going with the 1st, and the courage & serenity to let go of the 2nd.
At work, or anywhere in life, people should be a team, working for the best of all, not protecting individual egos.
I let go of all that I had thought was wounded, for there is no ego to wound, no ego to hold on with; there is only love & freedom to love.
Life is a game and you are the player. As you master the game, so you also create it.
Don’t be afraid. You are never really alone. Just be yourself. You don’t ever have to pretend you are someone else. If you try to do that, then you don’t have anything to give the world. Accept and give your gifts with love.
from the prose poem “The Universe Thrums on regardless” in my book SPAN.We are almost nothing in the night. Reduced to warm blobs and the sound of breathing. There is comfort in that.
Let us not take offence over small cheese, let things slide off when they don’t really matter, not take things personally, be free to make better use of our energy, to get on with something meaningful instead.
We are angels just like the rest of our brothers and sisters.
Go lovingly into each moment and experience your infinite being as you truly are. Feel, learn, play!
There is so much to see and learn here that I often find I’m not blinking in case I miss anything. I have to use artificial tears to moisten my eyes.
from RIVERMy body is filled with sand. The heavy grains flow from my eyes and seek somewhere to fall.Speak to me friends. Tell me I am free to go now, for I need to sit alone in the sun on the river bank, juggling pebbles.
Even cats have questions – like “Can’t you see my bowl is empty?” or “Why don’t you turn off the ***! rain now?” From their perspective we are gods!
everybody needs help in some way, we are a community on earth, giving & receiving, ebbing & flowing, reflecting, even tough lessons can help
Being here to witness the beauty, to learn, to be astonished, to love – is enough. Being able to create in addition is a delightful honour.
I am so grateful to be here on this awesome planet with it’s diverse life – everything we need to not just survive but to thrive. I am excited to continually learn more about it, and always curious to see what is going to come up next.
I simply wish to continue to learn, & try to do what I have to do, better.
Each pain is Unbearable / yet TriflingSeeing the TRUTH is Excruciating / yet ExquisiteThrough Laugher & Tears / Grinning & Fear, we face our demons.
We are all ‘right’ if we are being truly ourselves…. that is the best we can be in each moment, until we learn more…
The world is full of confusion and contradiction. We cannot expect to do anything that is absolutely right. We can only measure rightness by the truth within ourselves. And our own truth will never be quite the same as somebody else’s.
Once you face the truth, the knowledge both empowers you and sets you free.
Live in a cosmic ocean, singing sweet hallucinations, dreams of many worlds, all flowing into one…. inner / outer mirrored love.
Feeling free of full & empty, feeling here but also there, Neither or but simply both, a universe within, one single stare.
I am permitted to travel in the corridor between sky and heather” from the poem “Beyond the Beacon” in TerraAffirmative
What if there is no such thing as other people’s wrongness….. ?
The Holy Grail is within you – find your Inner Treasure
Chaos is peaceful when you stand quietly & watch – we are eternal observers, reflecting both tiny & vast, singing infinitely within.
Personal truth differs from one person to the next, so how can truth itself be a constant? At least we can listen to each other in truth.
Every moment we are new and full of infinite possibility as we are part of ALL.
just find your way, like a river settling into its bed, and the sigh of the wind over a lake, light but restful… content with the joy in the arc of an arm throwing a ball for a dog to fetch
Breathe in that vital connection to the life source and sensual beauty everywhere. Feel loved and strong.
I honour the clarity of the present moment, and the stillness at the centre of being (mine & others), even in the midst of so much doing.
Sometimes it’s better to show our vulnerability / pain / regrets so others don’t think us impervious / unapproachable – be real / open
Spiritual counselling is helping people find the deep root of stillness in themselves, which is also a connection to everything else.
Don’t be afraid to be authentic, show up in the world as you truly are.Be as you mean to be, but be light with it. Love it, give it, share it, laugh at it, walk everywhere with it.Be in the world but not OF it.
be the calm eye of the storm where nothing phases you, focus on your centre to remain balanced, let your life flow like a stream of wind
We are the wilderness withinScreaming out for true expression.Even when we’re sleeping,There’s no escape from this obsession.
I don’t have to be safe to feel safe, I always feel safe at my core.
I never think of myself as an attacker, only as a defender – usually of rights – mine and others.
