I know You love me
All the time
Your heart has told me
Through Your words.
I hold them close
To comfort me
But sometimes, still,
You catch my eye –
The curtain lifts –
Eternity.
In random places,
Signs, and times,
When disappointments
Crush me down..
You send me hearts –
A glimpse, but clear,
In everyday,
In every need.
Coincidence, some say –
And yet
I know You’ve
Put Your heart in mine.
Went with a friend to Happy High Herbs in West End today. I used to go to the one in Surfers Paradise whenever we went to the coast, and we’ve been to the one in Nimbin… there’s quite a few around..
It’s only a tiny little shop, but packed full of herbs..
Yes, they do sell “love potions” (or herbs/teas)
.. but I was more interested in the other teas..
The Herb Robert and the Pau ‘D arco bark are immune boosters, anti-viral and anti-biotic, and the Pau ‘D arco is also an anti-fungal.. the Brahmi is good for the brain and circulation, and aids memory, focus and mental clarity..
I had only planned to get those three (and was thrilled to find they were less expensive in store!), but there was a half-price basket, so I also got Yarrow (for colds, flu and wound healing) and Wild Yam , for the liver, endocrine and female systems… A good day’s hunting 😀
For more information, go to their home page and scroll down to the bottom – have a look at the links..
Herbs are very useful, but remember, if you use them, to make sure you know the proper dosages and preparation, and any contraindications, especially if you have particular medical conditions, or are pregnant.. anything with the capacity to heal can also have the capacity to cause side effects.. be informed! 😀
I’ve had a lovely week off, but it’s back to study tomorrow… although I’ll probably still be in holiday mode to some extent…
I haven’t started studying the brain yet, but this is how I sometimes feel when starting a new lesson.. 😀
Today (or rather, yesterday – it’s just past midnight..) was a grey sort of day.We did get some rain, but mostly it was dark, overcast, cloudy… grey. I don’t mind that – I quite like grey. I feel it’s had a bad rap – always boring, or presaging disaster. Sometimes that might be true… but grey could equally be seen as a comforting, cosy colour – even inspiring poetry
It’s a colour I love to wear, especially in its darker shades..
Let me show you some beautiful grey..

..Weathered… enduring..
Comforting… calm..
I hope your day has been grey –
in the best sense… 😀
Our local Gallery has a Steampunk exhibition on at the moment. I’m not sure how much longer it’s on for, so thought I’d check it out while I can.
I like what I’ve seen of steampunk… I’d happily wear most of what I’ve seen (especially the boots. The boots are cool.) I’ve done steampunk themed ATCs before, but I’m still not sure what to do with it. It can be called “the greatest era that never was”, and encompasses modern technology, but set in the Victorian era. I like the way it looks.. except when I try it. Then it just looks.. weird..
Just have to keep on trying..
Here’s some other people’s interpretations..
Butterflies and birdcages!
The first inline skate?
…something with dials..
A sort of ray gun..
I-pod case.
…and phone.
mirror..
A skeleton steamship.
steambubbles..
A time machine and a teabag jiggler..
A winged heart (called newromancer)
… and a winged helmet.
I’m planning to go to a masked tea party in May, and I’d like to do something like this… we shall see 😀
Spent part of my day feeling forgotten… ended up ok.. had a nice dinner, watched a dvd..
Thought I’d look up images, liked what I found – here they are 🙂

… and, to balance..
a bit of creativity, a bit of eco consciousness, a bit of inspiration.... hopefully not a lot of pompousness and blathering :D
i'm not entirely sure what's going on here... let's travel along and see...
