A walk in the woods<\/p>\n

Awakening the senses<\/p>\n

Stirring the imagination….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carved onto a branch where wise owl patiently sits, are the words –<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘Thinking up is a cosmic skill, up up direct your mind<\/p>\n

Your light body will expand, freedom too you find<\/p>\n

Forward and up thinking, a direction just to be<\/p>\n

Much easier to fly in a body that is free’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Owl is poised ready to fly silently into the night at a moments notice<\/p>\n

He has choice<\/p>\n

He is the observer and the observed<\/p>\n

Master of inner and outer worlds<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The branch is old but it is sprouting new leaves<\/p>\n

The wisdom is ancient and timeless…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On a leaf a mouse is meditating … up up up to the big up …the cosmic up … up there!<\/p>\n

He feels fantastic<\/p>\n

Expansive<\/p>\n

Elastic<\/p>\n

A little mouse balancing on a big delicate shimmering leaf<\/p>\n

Contemplating the vastness of it all<\/p>\n

Connected<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It might all seem a bit batty but who cares<\/p>\n

Lets fly<\/p>\n

Crazy bat<\/p>\n

Be yourself<\/p>\n

Accept yourself and all your battiness<\/p>\n

Fly in the day<\/p>\n

Fly in the night<\/p>\n

Non conformity with all its bat whirls and twirls and swirls suits you<\/p>\n

Be you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The spider weaves his web and connects us all<\/p>\n

How lucky we are to have creative spider and his world wide web…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another mouse eases on a branch in semi supine lighting his body with direction<\/p>\n

Lightening his load<\/p>\n

Whilst badger efforts his way over the branch…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are you doing Mr Badger?<\/p>\n

Think!<\/p>\n

Could you find another way?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two mice meditate, watched by a hedgehog<\/p>\n

Today Miss Hedgehog hasn’t quite learned to let go<\/p>\n

She is feeling a bit prickly<\/p>\n

But definitely curious that there IS another way<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Learning from the example of the calm, balanced, meditating mice<\/p>\n

She contemplates her defences<\/p>\n

Hmmm, interesting!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Golden leaves fall around the meditating mice, they see the abundance of it all<\/p>\n

A pink moon is held within a dandelion clock<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bracken fronds remind us that all movement and growth spirals…spiralling dancing relationships<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mr Fox has been out running rings and now, like all dogs, knows how to look after himself – master of rest after activity and a master of active rest…<\/p>\n

A comfortable, warm place for an afternoon snooze<\/p>\n

Siesta time, dreaming time, to wake inspired ready to play…<\/p>\n

Clever fox!<\/p>\n
