Gilayjal Miirlarl - High tide SACRED PLACE...

Yurruun.ga

Gilayjal  Miirlarl at dawn low tide.

Every day I feel blessed living here in this place where we are. The High Tide Sacred Place ...It is so full of the dreaming here.  Uncle Toms ancestors were amazing people.  Uncle Tom is turning 88 in April and he is so old and he knows the stories.  I am so glad of the circumstance no matter how painful this birthing is of what ever is being birthed inside of me.  It is a very strong action occurring in my spirit.  It is exciting.

What is sad about today is that Julia Gillard our PM has cancelled Julian Assange's Australian passport.  I am incredibly disillusioned by all of the circumstances around this given that Julian put his neck on the line for all of us on the planet and then how can we let him languish alone somewhere being bullied by governments.. I just feel very saddened by this.

How can they preach LOVE and fight each other holding guns.. we are all equal yet they push synthetic separation..    
Every dawn is a new day to make a change ...........BLISS N ESO..  Running on Air

 .......................and the moon is going into Gemini today so its my time to ignite..

“I think we're seeing in working mothers a change from "Thank God it's Friday" to "Thank God it's Monday." If any working mother has not experienced that feeling, her children are not adolescent.” Ann Diehl

Garbage Morning

A STICK STUCK
 It was something and I wanted to know what the hell it was so I got all the way out there to look!  It was a stick.  A curly stick that someone had just stuck into the middle of the old rotting pier post. If I was tall enough I would have taken the curly stick out of the thing because it isn't supposed to be there.

What a lovely day today is already.  No tears and lots of clear thinking.  Today Montana comes again to stay with me.  Yay it is Monday at last. 

 I feel that she gets a lot of flack for hanging out at all with me.  I don't want to be Montana's friend .... so much as I want to be her mother and being a mother to her is important to me.  The other  two children  are jealous!   I would say this as this is how it was. 

I continue to say that Montana  restored my faith in humanity.  Which she did entirely .  Jesse was so active as a child and full on.  Matilda was hard core and throwing tantrums at every turn and then came Montana who wanted to read and sing and learn and love. 

It was a dream come true.  Guess the others prefer Johns company.  Montana always preferred my company.  She loved me so much.  Once,  once she loved me like no one else had ever loved me,  it was the sweetest thing I have ever known.  Sweeter than any sugar known to man.  Her love was the purest love there was and I could feel it.  I loved her love and we loved each other so much!  She would play word games with me and I called her " Little Bum"  and I have called her "Lamb Tart" and I have called her just "Tart" for short.  We had to stop that one as it was coming out in public places and people were looking quite strange at a mother who called her daughter 'Tart. 

These days its harder as now her sister won't allow her to even have a radio show with me with out interrupting her and asking her to leave!  She promised me and her listeners on air that she would stay the entire 2 hours next week.  She realizes what they are doing and they will be sad in the end because it is wrong!

Today and just for today I will be happy and I will enjoy this time we have together as time will not last forever and I know this now!  I want to enjoy Montana while I still have some time!

You don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stopped laughing.


So above all, continue to do the things that you enjoy and love as you get older and older as that is the thing that keeps you alive.  Food has a little to do with it but really one must be happy and have a desire to live.  If one loses the desire to laugh and then to live then life is snuffed out and the universe cannot help but reply and death can ensue!

I like to do things that make me feel alive and kicking like standing in the freezing waters at dawn taking photographs.  I probably would have loved to have studied this sort of art at college. 

I do wish I had been born to people who enjoyed education and learning.  To be born and have to live with people who would not allow you to do your homework was difficult to keep up the charade of perfectness that I wanted to convey as a child was terribly important to me because I was already living such an imperfect life compared to others.  The pressure was horrendous

I could have studied in my adult years but I chose a life partner who always made fun of the fact that I am very very clever.  He prefers to tell people the exact opposite these days and they prefer to believe him.  I am in fact still studying and I learn amazing stuff daily and I love to teach Montana.

Go outside because miracles are waiting everywhere for you.

One of the Caves 



     

Some Rocks just out from the caves

Now I have seen the Valla Beach Caves, they were fascinating.  I have heard that these places are considered to be a mans space within Aboriginal or indigenous law or lore, whichever makes you feel comfortable.  I respected this, and I didn't enter into the caves, I stood out front and took pics of them but I didn't go inside. 

While I was there I got a tremendous buzzing in my head and when I came home I had the worst headache I have ever had besides having meningitis many years ago.  I did wonder if the two events were connected.  I do feel better now though so that is a good thing.  It was painful.

After I left the beach caves I traveled along the highway to Burkes Lane where I took a left turn in towards my favorite hill I like to photograph lately and I drove towards Pickett Hill.  A magnificent sight it is too.  It is also a mans space and even uninitiated men should not walk there.  It has strong indigenous spiritual meaning.

Sometimes you gotta live like and Indian but at other times you have to fight like a palestinian!

These are very true words... and words of the Luminaries.


Those words reminded me of a biblical story when Jesus was full of righteous anger and he overturned the money changers tables in the temples at Jerusalem.  Apparently, that was cool.

Well these days we are to be meek and mild like sheep but somehow we have to be tough and clever and sneaky to survive this strange world we live in.  Yesterday I heard of a man hurting a woman who was shopping and putting her groceries into her car and the man used a knife and stole her groceries!

I don't know what I would do now given the laws here in this country and if I was faced  with this situation!  The police and courts of Australia are locking up people who defend themselves against this kind of unsolicited violence and the true attackers are getting away with it.  If someone attacked me like this and I could get the knife off them, then I would definatley  use it on them if I could.  However it is deemed that you are then attacking and soyour jailed for this instead of your attacker! HUH can someone tell me what is wrong here! This cannot go on in our country.  How can we defend ourselves? 

This traumatizes me no end because I do not feel safe now that I know I cannot physically protect myself legally!  I have to let them stab me or I may go to jail if someone is hurt during my protecting myself.

The world is an awfully mixed up and severely confused place within which  we live  today.  Occupy movements have sprung up all over the planet.  GOOD ... we need to stand together against all of the government greed and ridiculousness of society  and the attitudes of the leaders of the world in general.  Who is behind this?    Who is pushing for life to be this way?  Not me.  I cannot understand what is happening anymore!  I know I am suffereing and so are my children and the families who come along now are going to be serious HAVES and HAVE NOTS!

Keep faith in the beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden, in the spring when it is gone. Roy R Gibson.

In our case here in Australia we will mourn the passing of summer into autumn... but inherently it is the same feeling for me.

The Two Rivers in the URUNGA dawn.
I heard clap sticks in my head and I heard them getting louder and louder and that we only had to think this and that it would happen.  It would drive those fellah's mad that needed to be driven that way.  That is original majick because I could hear the ancient sounds.

The quality of a friendship is based on many different values that are considered to be positive.

These values include sympathy and empathy; trust in one another, mutual understanding and compassion, and honesty.

Friends should be able to go to each other for emotional support, provide a give and take relationship on both ends, and be able to express their feelings and mistakes without judgment.


No Light

There's no way out of this, no light, no hope.
Put out the fire that burned so bright, no truth, no home.
My footprints in the sand are cleared with morning's tide.
For nothing will remain, all will subside.

But there must be something more.....

The darkest clouds will fall, all meaning laid to waste
They tell me there's no hope, no light to guide the way.
If these shells of skin and bone are all we have,
Then I refuse to stand and watch the fire die inside. 

 A Hope for Home (commonly abbreviated to AHFH) is a band based in Portland, Oregon that formed in 2006.  Kyle one of the founding members died of cancer in 2006 just after the band formed.

This is an example of love for a friend who has passed but who will never be forgotten.  A spokes person for the band said:

Our message is simple, Believe in Hope. No matter what you are going through in your life, there is always hope. Kyle battled cancer for 6 years of his life, and lived far longer than he was ever expected. He never stopped fighting, and didn't give into hopelessness. He lived a full life through it all, and used the pain and hardships that he was going through for a much higher purpose. Hopelessness can easily take over when we are in overwhelming circumstances and it takes real strength to overcome it. Kyle found hope through his faith in God and through the love from the people in his life. When it comes down to it, those are the things that can keep you going, no matter what life throws your way. So the best way you can support our message, is be somebody's hope, help them through whatever they are going through, just like Kyle did. Thank you. Much love & God bless, The Kyle Cooke Foundation.

Pickett Hill and Graft n Eruption

That was funny because lately all I have been thinking about is volcanoes near here. My young friend was wanting a name for an event and Graft N Eruption came straight to mind as a small play on words from Graft and corruption pun.   Anyway I hope that is a success for those fellahs up that way! It is all about the music and we must remember that and its so good to see that Malachi MC is following this principal in his business he loves.

Lately  I was fascinated with Pickett Hill.  I know now that it is a sacred place and young men are told to stay away! So I don't think that I will be going to close! If men are to stay away then why were the elder woman not respected at the meeting by national parks etc.  Very sad.


This hill still fascinates me though.  I am going to see a really big hill in May ... I am going to Uluru.  I live on a hill and this blog is called On the Hill.  I like hills.  I like high points.  Not sure if it is because I have experienced so many floods and this is the end result.

 
 For tomorrow the sun comes and goes like this on Fri Feb 17  
First Light 6:04am
Sunrise  6:28am
Sunset   7:34pm

Earth is my Garden .... and I groove in it!


Today's post is all about the image and what it means and what it is.  First off this image was photographed right here on the hill.  It is the leaves and moss on a wet part of the bitumen road. The rest of this image is my creative aspect.

The words are closely related to the fact that I do feel that this is my garden and I did grow in it. However, Bliss N Eso already sort of said that.  I thought for a second and I realized that at my age I have pretty well stopped growing.  I have been small for a long time now and that what I do here on this earth is groove.  I groove in the Garden.

I love the representation of Earth being intrinsically the same as the rest of the universe only we are dealing in color here and out there it does appear rather dark at times.  We are but a hairs breath from that reality of the infinite universe every second of every day.

Anyway that's how we feel at the On the hill today.  Like this world needs to take a long look at who are their advisers then if they plead such innocence because those advisers are not good with their advise. 

They are ruining our planet faster than we have any hope of fixing now.  The Amazon is still being chopped down and mutilated like a serious victim of this world full of madness surrounding this stuff.  The world is in addiction.  If it is addict behavior to want things immediately, then therefore the world demanding everything instantaneously as it does is then in serious addiction.

“Though outwardly a gloomy shroud, The inner half of every cloud Is bright and shining: I therefore turn my clouds about And always wear them inside out To show the lining.”

Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler

The day began bathed in brilliant sunshine...


(Mrs. A.L. Felkin) Quotes Source: Wisdom of Folly.

Today on the hill the weather is really perplexing. Not sure if it will be so hot or pour rain. Storms all around us each day.

I suspect it is a fine day if your in love. Valentines Day is good for that. I have this beautiful heart that was given to me at the beach. So I guess every day is valentines day for me. We look for these beautiful things in nature. When we find them I carry on as though I have found a diamond or something equally precious.

When things go wrong. Look for the opportunity in that moment to change something to fix it up again. If it is in your power to do so then do so. All crisis brings change. Change is not to be feared but to be welcomed as the changeable seasons and the changeable days.

We cannot have sunny days everyday and therefore the lesson in nature for us is that sometimes things are not so bright. Wait patiently as this will pass just like the clouds do. The sun will come out on your situation once more.

Know when you have a good thing. Know that your freedom of choice is a possession that is priceless.

As social beings we live with our eyes upon our reflection, but have no assurance of the tranquillity of the waters in which we see it. ...Charles Horton Cooley

We of our own Never Never...


 What a beautiful sight this was to see the comforting waters of the Never Never Creek again where we all used to have so much fun at different times.  This part of the creek is particularly deep and absolutely fresh and cold.  The water commencing its journey towards the Bellinger River only a few miles away at the source.  I did have the nicest times with my children at the river playing for hours in the water amongst the rocks and sitting reading under the shady trees.

This was a beautiful place to have children grow up.  So different to city life with all its woes and the business of its existence as it is.  The Never Never is beautiful piece of Australia and a very special place and a healing place for woman.

It healed me and I also let it hurt me.  I guess its an energy transfer.  I gained some and I lost some there.  So did Jesse.  He lost his first tooth when he was 6 years old in the Never Never Creek swimming.  We searched and searched amongst the rocks under the water to no avail.  We  had to send a letter to the forest faeries to tell the tooth faeries what had transpired.  They co-operated and there was money under the pillow the next day.  Faeries do not much around.

It healed me and I also let it hurt me.  I guess its an energy transfer.  I gained some and I lost some there.  So did Jesse.  He lost his first tooth when he was 6 years old in the Never Never Creek swimming.  We searched and searched amongst the rocks under the water to no avail.  We  had to send a letter to the forest faeries to tell the tooth faeries what had transpired.  They co-operated and there was money under the pillow the next day.  Faeries do not much around.

Dawn today over the footbridge in Urunga

The golden light of this Saturday morning was glorious but I could see some rain building and a storm on the front.  I stood and took some images and gazed longingly into the pureness of the dawning suns healing light. 

Last week I met someone who told me that it took 9 minutes for your entire blood supply to pass by your eyes and this healing light.  This light is capable of bleaching things in its brilliance.  When you look into the sun you are perhaps bleaching your blood of the impurities within that cannot be dissipated any other way than by the suns rays into your eyes at either dawn or sunset at an hour either side of this.  Other times the suns radiation is too strong and will cause you damage.  This is where common sense kicks in and you make the choice not to do it then.

One hour after this image was shot the sky opened up and bucketed down once more.  Lightening and thunder all around and a shaking dog once more.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde


I love how Example says it in his lyrics,  "Gotta draw a line.  I cant sit on the fence all day.  They'll fight if we don't press play.  Pretty sure.  Cause we are starving, we are thirsty for more of the good stuff and hungry for more of the bad stuff". 




This is the dichotomy of life.  I think Pablo Picasso sums it up beautifully.   "Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time."   Pablo Picasso

At times : It never rains but it pours.... ( proverb)

 Not much sun today in old Urunga town... I managed to get a time bit of sunshine on the dawn horizon.

This morning down the coast a short way flash flooding occurred in Port Macquarie as a storm cell dumped inches of rain on the area.


I have just returned from being up the coast with the girls having fun and seeing sights for fun and photographing all of them.  Cathy and Ana and Jew and I had so many laughs it was surely good for our souls.  It was hilarious trying to understand each other again.   Thai isn't easy and spanish is fun.  I come home speaking like a mix of all of these.  

The trip was marred with some sadness as we recalled again our many great stories of our dear departed friend Texsy who was tragically run over while walking home late last year in 2011.   We shed tears and laughed for her.  We said on more than one occasion that we felt she was there with us. 

I love Jew, I love the tenacity that this woman has.  I love Ana, she is someone to look up to as she is wise and beautiful in her spirit.  Cathy and I took the trip for fun, we couldn't help but think how much it was like old times when we used to trip around NSW with  my job with Koala Publishing.

The entire trip was filled with the effects of the butterfly once more.
