Autumn in the Weald by Philip Dodson
RISE UP

Like a fire the leaves rise swirling like flames
The wind catches them like sails at sea
The swirl of colour as they leap their final dance
The breath of change is upon us all
Autumn is here we are approaching the cold

Warm our hearts with the rising that nature brings
Warm our hearts with the beauty of it all
Warm our hearts with what we have already
Warm our hearts with the connection to mother nature
Warm our hearts and dance with leaves

The fire of autumn will die as winter comes
Don't wait for what might be
Rise up now with the wind
Like a phoenix from the ashes
One last dance, one last hurrah, one last leap
Don't wait for winter...rise up now and dance

Space within

Posted on by philipdodson

The thousands and thousands of repetitive thoughts that we have every day allow no space within us for new things to come. We are deadened to our true selves by the exhaustive mindstreams that dominate our unconscious state.

If we learn how to observe, rather than energise these frankly useless thoughts that are there 24/7, then we create space within us. This requires us to be the silent witness to thoughts, to be aware and awake in the present moment that is our true real life.

That space can then allow new things to arise from within us from our essence, from our energy, from our soul, that we are normally are unaware of in our unconscious mind obsessed state.

When we create space and allow our very essence to flow and rise up like a babbling brook amazing things start to evolve and take shape.
