Today

The perfect back rest has been sought, whilst I admire and absorb the warm beauty of Grandfather Sun. The air is a frost breeze, but the radiance from above is too delightful to hide from. The Wind Woman whispers amongst the semi-arid Karoo flora, whilst the bird life converse and sing to each other. Otherwise the silence is dominant. At times - when the mysterious conversations cease and the birds silence themselves for a minute - the pulsing of my heart is the only vague sound perceivable.
Today I have dedicated myself to the silence. I am devoted to immersing myself in meditation and creative conjuring’s; to wondering, channeling, reading, meandering and sharing thoughts to The Universe.
A glorious day that is a reminder to just breathe and be a spirit drifting upon the path of radiance.
It seems as though the beckoning smiles of the Fire Elemental (Siva-Shakti) have been felt by us all, specifically humans. This luminance is strongly alive within our souls during days such as these.

May all beings be happy, peaceful and liberated! :)

Reflecting on Blessings

As per usual, life has soared on forwards and during the tumbles, strolling and gliding I have managed to forget to document any projects, adventures or inspiring life occurrences upon this blog.

"Where to begin?" she wondered, wandered...

Since arriving back from Malawi (which was during September 2013), I have managed to reside within Cape Town up until the present. Please understand that five months is an immense amount of space and time to me. Five months is a life time.
During these months of floating within the Mother City (once again - I seem to have created a pattern of dwelling upon a near or distant land for two months and then allowing attachment and ego to haze my vision :/ ) I have managed to reside within a number of homes. From a room to share between my love and I to moving to a beautiful, expansive home within Simons Town, to moving to a flat within Sea Point for two weeks, back to Simons Town and now living separately within Green Point and Table View. Gypsies we shall remain, even whilst confined to the concrete jungle :/

I have been attempting to focus upon my creative endeavours whilst within the city, so I may somehow establish myself via visual art and craft. I seem to have become more confident within my own voice and the messages I channel, but now I wish to share these messages to a mass congregation of divine beings, alas I need to be patient and continue to believe in divine timing and synchronicity, already a galaxy of events has occurred since moving from Simons Town, so now I need to relish within the temporary slow movement of life as always "anicha", "anicha", "changing", "changing". The only permanence is change :)

I miss residing within Simons Town, so we could  frolick to the sublime, secluded beach, walk for twenty minutes to arrive at a magical waterfall, visit the faere dog and purely enjoy the silence of our surroundings. Alas, I also miss Khula Dhamma and Hogsback and every other land that is not the city...
Regardless of my struggle to create contentment whilst residing amongst the chaotic kaleidoscope of fast paced society, Skye and I managed to focus on creating beautiful container gardens and assist the growth of various plant spirits. Skye is as passionate about Permaculture as I am and as in love with Mother Earth and Father sky as well, so combined we're potentially a difficult couple yet enthusiastic couple to float with. Difficult because we're both capable of being intense about life, the world and modern society. Reflection. Lessons. Living in the present. Manifesting the future.

Below are a few photographs of our Earth love whilst residing within peaceful Simons Town.

Unfortunately we were unable to harvest much, as we did not remain at the house for the needed period of time to reap the fruits of our labour. We continue to plant seed and seedlings regardless as giving back to Mother Earth is more important than taking from her and her creatures. We purely wish to re-create a natural environment where it no longer exists, so more humans may possess the opportunity to observe Nature and share their lessons to others. Children, animals and Pacha Mama are our greatest teachers.

Mother Ocean and the majestic Waterfall were our saving grace when being confined within cement walls became rather suffocating (we're both accustomed to living outdoors, so please bear with my sometimes critical attitude of man created structures and systems).

Hmmm, I believe I have now rambled on for a necessary period of time. Reflecting on this post (which I have been writing for a few months now, due to lack of internet connection), has been interesting as I have been flowing through a chapter of personal transformation (as we all are and shall be for eternity :) ) and have therefore been adding thoughts and connecting experiences whilst within different heart and mind spaces. My decision in regards to this post is that I need either write shorter blog posts or write a book(s). Haha. Seriously though, even I am beginning to believe my stories and messages are rather lengthy the majority of time. Anywho.

I wish to remind those of you divine creatures that stumble upon my blog and kindly read and perceive my beliefs and thoughts upon Pacha Mama and life in general, thaaaaaaaat, life is precious.

Yes it is all we know, and we are all trying our damndest (hopefully) to live to our fullest potential, follow our Truth and share ultimate love to all beings, but life is a gift, an opportunity to gain enlightenment on situations that we struggled to understand within previous lifetimes. This life is another chance to choose our direction accurately and wisely and yet take "risks" simultaneously. Same same, is yoga :) 

Refrain from creating "complicated" situations, they are after all only complicated if we perceive them to be. Once we remove our ego from an experience, all that remains is the Beloved, Shiva, the God-Self.

Namaste again for tolerating my thought spills whilst attempting to share the message of metta (loving-kindness), karuna (compassion) and panna (wisdom) to all beings, especially in regards to our relationship to Mother Earth, Pacha Mama, Doni, Gaia. Whatever your desired name for our Divine Mother, she is within us all and all of us within her. What you do to the Earth, you do to yourself.

Love compassionately, breathe deeply, hug warmly :)

Be Love.

Aum Namah Shivaya 

Blessings and metta, metta, metta

The Warm Heart of Mama Afrika...So Far :)

Somehow three weeks have already past since departing from the chaos of the concrete jungle of Cape Town and already we have been amidst the sublime land of Malawi for two weeks:)

We ventured through to Mozambique with the intention of floating there for at least two weeks, but the hostility of the locals and the not so cheap lifestyle, created a longing to travel onwards towards Malawi. After a solid week of travelling through the beautiful tropical landscape of Mozambique, we finally arrived at the Detsa border of Malawi where we were lovingly met by family friends (we consider them family :) ) Betsie, Marius and their four year old boy Brian.

We have been residing with Betsie and Marius in their home situated in Lilongwe, since we arrived in Malawi and shall do so until we continue travelling through Malawi whilst volunteering upon various organic farms/ smallholdings/ backpackers and so on. 

By the weekend we were already venturing through to the lake, (which isn't nearly as far as we thought), where we spent the night at a lodge named Red Zebra and ate scrumptious food, or rather I stuffed my face to say the least.

As soon as we arrived at the blissful serenity of Lake Malawi we headed towards the water elements and cleansed ourselves in the clarity of our range of vision.

Mmmm, my heart longed to remain in the water until the next day, but unfortunately had to frolick through to the eating area to consume delicious food morsels.

The next morning we departed from Red Zebra, so Betsie and Marius could allow us to explore a few other vicinities along the lake. We first travelled through to a beach named Livingstonia Beach and as we strolled along exfoiliating sand particles, we happened to discover a gigantic, ancient Baobab tree (these sacred tree beings reside upon the majority of the land), possibly the oldest and wisest we had had the privilege to witness so far.

We continued towards a beach named Safari Beach where an immense amount of Baboons and Vervets roam and play. Skye and I decided to hire a Kayak for two hours, so we could float along the shore and source a secluded area to douse ourselves within the lake once again. 

During the afternoon of the Sunday we had to travel back to Lilongwe and wave our au' revoirs to the lake...for now :)

Anywho, below you shall source a few memory catchments of the weekend :)
Plus you can view a few more by checking the new Malawi page :)

Blessings and ultimate metta

Waldorf Constantia Biodynamic and Organic Market

Whilst we have been floating amidst the "Mother City", Cape Town "Sacred Earth" (me)  decided to create, bake and sell healing vegan meals at a market every Friday from 11am to 3pm.

All the food I sold was created by me, including the bread loaves, hummus and avocado spread. I utilised organic ingredients as often as possible, (especially since all the toppings were raw) and all the food options were vegan, gluten free, wheat free, sugar free and yeast free! :D Therefore any being was able to ingest and savour the deliciousness without clogging their intestines and feeling lethargic for the remainder of the day there after. Instead, the food gifted energy and a happy digestive system :)

Recipes regarding how to bake the "Four Flour Bread Loaf", "Bran Muffins" and "Date Bliss Balls" shall be posted as soon as possible! :)

Eternal Summer Wonderings

It seems as though I may be an eternal nomad. Perhaps my heart and soul are continuing a journey along the road that was not finished during a past life time, or perhaps I was a wagon gypsy during a recent lifetime. The possibilities of why I am a nomad during this current physical journey are endless, but my soul is smiling and I'm enjoying the journey thus far.

A being of my heart, who seems to be a wanderer of the Sky(e) elementals shall be joining me along this continued journey. When we met, we both had been feeling a longing to venture in the same direction, even before our reunion within this life. Africa is where our feet are leading us, specifically Malawi, but we'll drift through Mozambique for a while before we cross over into Malawi.

Already a home is awaiting us amidst Malawi, even if it is for only a short while. We both dream of living self-sustainably and providing for ourselves and in fact that is now our goal. We want to know that we are able to provide for ourselves, retrieving from Mother Earths abundance and gifting to her the the compost we create, the mulch we lay, the earthworm tea we extract. Give and take, it's the natural cycle of Mother Earth and The Universe alike.
We often envision what we shall construct our home of. Shall it be cob? cord-wood? scrap wood? an Earthship?! Shall we grow candy beetroot? romanesco broccoli? custard apples? wasabi? sugar cane? even cacao pods? Shall we create a living roof? Shall we care for many animals? Our ideas are endless and our hopes to educate various beings about living a self-sustainable and healthy life continue to manifest. We wish to grow everything and anything, so we may share our surplus with all who wish to harvest organic produce and learn to eat, breath, speak and live healthily and consciously.
I shall make sure that all the materials we utilise to create our home are either re-used, re-cycled and up-cycled items or made by us, by hand :)
Sho! We haven't even physically begun heading towards Mozambique yet and I'm already sharing the thoughts of our ideal home :D

We continue our intertwined journey in less than a week! We shall bus through to JHB (not unfortunate this time round) where it shall be possible for us to visit a few family members. Then we bus through to Maputo! Awo0oo0o0oooo! We're still unsure of where we shall be slumbering during our first night or two in Maputo, but we'll attract our home towards us once we arrive there or just camp upon the beach (which I would prefer). Once we have officially arrived in Mozambique, we'll just manifest and accept as we venture along, our hearts and feet guiding us along our path of golden rhythms, assisting we we're able to, living in abodes where we're accepted and absorbing the smiling warmth of Grandfather Sun. Mmmm.

On another sing-song note, we have been floating amidst the concrete jungle of Cape Town, for what now seems to be far too lengthy of a stay. We originally wished to visit family and soul brothers and sisters for a week or two, and then those two weeks evolved into four months. Hmmm, ja. Viewing it from a positive angle though, we have been able to work and save money to devote to our drifting and twirling beneath the radiant African Father Sky.

We were also offered to house-sit upon the mountain in Hout Bay when we first arrived in the Mother City. The house we resided in nestled upon "Little Lions Head" is a beautiful home. The view of the valley from our range of vision was  blissful, especially during the colorful sunrise each morning. The second floor was a studio, where we would sometimes practice yoga and meditate, it was also utilised for a Tai-Chi class twice a week. Four beautiful animal beings lived with us as well and they were all fond of us as soon as we arrived at the the house during the first encounter of the space. We were able to acquaint ourselves with a few members of the Hout Bay community. What divine beings :) The community of Hout Bay is immensely conscious of the impact they create upon mother Earth and often congregate to share ideas regarding solutions to current problems of Mother Earth and the IY township and are striving to create community gardens upon unused municipal property amidst Hout Bay. Their intentions and actions are an example to all civilians of the city and we were grateful that we were able to assist in any way we were able to.

Although our stay within Hout Bay was lovely, we were some what happy when the moment to move on had arrived. We both become rather restless when we're obligated to stay in one area for an extended period of time, so we were excited to experience the next challenge of city life.
Once we departed from the valley and to the next suburb, namely Sea Point, I began to create and sell vegan, gluten free, wheat free, sugar free, yeast free sandwiches, muffins and date balls, or "everything free" as a few beings dubbed the food I created. Haha.
I decided to only sell my food creations at one market; the "Constantia Waldorf Organic and Bio-dynamic Market". It seems to be one of the only markets amidst Cape Town (that I have ventured to) that strives to be wholly organic and bio-dynamic, where as the majority of the other markets in the city are "trendy" and a vicinity where the residents of the city are able to be "noticed".
The food I create is healing and a form of medicine as food is able to be. All the ingredients upon the sandwiches were raw and eventually entirely organic, the sprouts were grown at my home base amidst Cape Town, the hummus and avocado spread was created by me and the muffins and bread were baked by me utilising organically produced flour. My most important ingredient is love and is definitely not a secret ingredient, as most beings are aware (well hopefully) that if one lacks to infuse love into their cooking, baking or any form of creating, it shall be usually either be tasteless, non-appealing, dysfunctional or harmful. Love is the MAIN ingredient. I refuse to cook or bake if my heart is not involved in the process, then it defeats the point, of healing with food, because it is no longer healing. The process is as important as the product.

Besides that we were able to manifest money, we were able to drift and swirl amongst the lives of precious golden beings who love Mother Earth and Father Sky as I do and who believe and honour their sacred child-like spirits.
All you light warriors know who you are... I love you <3

A dear, divine sister of my soul and heart.
I love you <3

I shall create another post sharing photographs of the "Constantia Waldorf Organic and Bio-dynamic Market" and information regarding the stalls that sell their products there, as well as photographs of our daily experiences whilst amongst the city vibes :)

Until the next destination and thought process :)

Eternal love, blessings and metta to all <3
