About Me

My photo
I am often described as quirky and eclectic. I certainly do have a pretty broad sense of music, fashion, book and film taste. Depends where the mood takes me. One week I might be feeling rather 50's and listen to broadway musicals and drink neat rum watching old movies . Sometimes I am feeling 70s and will listen to Jimi Hendrix and wear flowers in my hair. I have a penchant for 70s/80s rock, musical numbers, jazz and folk, reading poetry and drinking wine and sometimes hard liquor. I do enjoy a lucky strike though often I am on the tobacco. I think I am a hippy, country girl at heart and love to be in the natural world, I love walking barefoot, hugging trees and lying in long grass. I love dancing in the rain and swimming in the sea and rivers. I like to spend my time devouring books, buying postcards, writing letters, looking around bookshops, watching films, listening to music, going on walks, a nice glass of wine, cooking, writing poetry and short stories, doing mad dancing and making people happy. I also love to sleep.

Tunnels

There's so much more than people see
More than some bother to ask
There's a deeper cave
With tunnels running off
that few would make the steps to walk down
Sometimes the tunnels cave in with rocks put up to shield 
A wall of stones to save the pain of not being understood

I don't even know myself
So how can I expect others to know me?
I don't understand
So how can others? 

There's so much to me
a labyrinth of unknowing
different passages
different facets of this body
this mind
this soul

I need to be strong
To know myself
Every dark abyss
Every wonderous meadow

Why is it so much easier said than done?
Why can't I make the first steps?

Like a foal stumbling after its mother, I fall
Like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, I ignore
