THIS IS A GUIDE FROM ABOVE, THAT CAME FROM WITHIN.
WE TRADE OUR LUNGS FOR PHARMACUETICALS, WITHOUT REALISING WE REMOVE OUR FOOD, OUR MEDICINE.
WE TRADE OUR POTENTIAL TO BE ENGAGED IN COMMUNAL, COLLECTIVIE CONSCIOUS ACTIVITY, WITHOUT REALISING IN THE NAME OF TELEVISION.
OUR NEW DIETY.
WE TRADE OUR TIME TO BE HOUSED, NOT HOMELESS.
WE TRADE OUR INQUESITIVE EXPLORATION FOR STIMULATATED VISUALS.
WE BEGAN AS TRADERS, CREATING MUSIC, ART, & RESPECTING NATURE, WORKING TOGETHER AS ONE.
WE WORSHIP AN INVISIBLE GOD, WHILE SLAUGHTERING A VISIBLE NATURE, WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS NATURE WE SLAUGHTER IS THE INVISIBLE GOD WE WORSHP.
IF THIS IS AN ALIEN EXPERIEMENT, WE ARE FAILING.
PLEASE, ONE LOVE. HUMANITY!

ALL MY LOVE, RESPECT & THANKS TO THIS LAND. EORA NATION & THE GADAGAL PEOPLE.
THE ART OF MEDICATING
#2
I believe that the food we eat contributes to our health.
I try and mix it up, with inspiration from the wonderful Stormy Brockbank, an Earth Warrior & Pilates Coach teaching from BYRON BAY, NSW.

In my morning coffee, yes I said ‘morning coffee’ insinuating there is more than one, I add Tumeric, Cacao, chilli, ginger, paprika, cinamon & cardamom pods, sometimes all together, sometimes 1 at a time. You can add any spices that you feel your body will benefit from.
Some of my favourites;
Tumeric has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb.
It helps the body fight foreign invaders and also has a role in repairing damage. Without inflammation, pathogens like bacteria could easily take over our bodies and kill us. A natural anti-inflammatory, it is so powerful that it matches the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs. Curcumin found in Tumeric Boosts Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Linked to Improved Brain Function and a Lower Risk of Brain Diseases like Alzheimer’s. Turmeric Can Help Prevent (And Perhaps Even Treat) Cancer, depression & arthritis.
Cacao has 40 Times the Antioxidants of Blueberries, is The Highest Plant-Based Source of Iron & is Full of Magnesium for a Healthy Heart & Brain, has more Calcium Than Cow's Milk, and is A Natural Mood Elevator and Anti-Depressant.
Ginger, Cardamon pods, chilli, paprika, & cinnamon have similar health benefits, all scientifically proven, more powerful than Pharmaceuticals. I medicate myself everyday! I have fun with it. I hope this will inspire you to get creative, have fun & share.

Derived from the Wolf
#3
I have a belief;
that women of this world fit into certain animal archetypes,
you could be a lioness, I know a few,
you could have traits of a wild brumby.
I am A wild Wolf Woman.
I am I am.
When I look at the moon.
I am I am.
She will need time.
This is her healing.
Her feeding. Her feeling.
In this, her intuition grows,
She discovers her layers.
She is a wild Wolf Woman.
She is. She is.
When she howls to the moon.
She is She is.
Her friends and family understand her solitude.
They wait in anticipation for her return,
She always provides.
The Matriarch.
The Wise beyond her years.
The nourishment of the soul.

This Christmas we:
#4
This Christmas we wrote poems
we didn't work to consume
We worked to take the time
To spend time.
This is 'money can't buy' time.
Our poems made each other feel joy and adoration
To love and be loved
Isn't this all Christ ever wanted
To allow ourselves to love and be love?
To take care of our Brothers and Sisters?
How did we come so far?
On that note,
Let's take thanks to whom you believe in
for change being the only constant.
& I had a beautiful Christmas.
I have a beautiful, every day.
