THOUGHTS FROM MY JOURNAL
THE SONG OF A MAN WHO HAS COME THRU
Not I, Not I, but the wind that blows thru me!
Afine wind is blowing the direction of Time.
If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it carry me!
If only I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a winged gift!
If only most lovely of all, I yield myself and am borrowed,
By the fine, fine, wind that takes it’s course thru the chaos of the world,
Like a fine, an exquisite chisel, and edge blade inserted;
If only I am keen and hard, like the sheer tip of a wedge
Driven by invisible blows.
The rock will split, we shall come at the wonder,
we shall find the Hesperides.
Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul
I would be a good fountain, a good well head,
would blur no whisper, spoil no expression.
What is the knocking?
What is the knocking at the door in the night?
It is somebody wants to do us harm.
No, No, it is the three strange angels.
Admit them, Admit them.
D.H.Lawrence
THE SONG OF AN ANGEL WHO HAS COME THRU
I met an Angel the other day, a winged gift.
She looked at me,
And I knew she recognised me.
She had very clear eyes that looked into my Soul,
And a lovely smile, and I knew she knew.
I have admitted three strange Angels into my Life.
They will let me know,
When it is time for me to go
Into the fullness of the Light.
In 2011 was the first one, just getting in touch,
Bright shining, knowing, thru another person,
the second angel appeared in 2013 and
the last Angel will appear in the fullness of time,
To borrow me, to escort me.
Meanwhile, I shall bubble away, Gnosis, Gnosis
The wonder, The wonder……………..

I now reside in the Ancient Isle of Avalon -Ynis Wytrin -Glastonbury, Somerset, England.
I am a Writer, Dowser and Lover of beautiful things - People - Nature -Spirit - and to be of Service is at the heart of what I do and Be.
I was born in Cleveleys, Lancashire, England many moons ago, having a happy childhood with loving parents, a brother and sister. My early memories were of playing on the beach and in the fields all day, of watching the low flying planes, of going with my father in his lorry seeing new sights, of my mother who nurtured me in so many ways, of pals who are no longer here.
In 1949 the whole family moved to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I was 16 then and what an adventure by ship - the warm tropical air - unlimited food after the austerity of war time Britain.
Brisbane is a lovely semi-tropical city and I enjoyed living there.
I gained an apprenticeship in Electrical Engineering - my first pay was £1-14-9, and then moved into Design Drafting and for a few years had my own business. In those times I worked in Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural and Civil Design Drafting and later worked all over Australia and Papua New Guinea - Gold Mines - Coal Ports - Power Houses - Mineral Mines and everything in between.
I married my teenage sweetheart Pat and we had five wonderful children, four girls and a boy.
Those were wonderful times and they have grown up into independent loving adults, and I now have eleven grandchildren - The kennish's are a prolific lot. Pat and I are no longer together but we are the best of friends. My children and grandchildren are scattered over the Globe now.
In my early twenties I first became interested in Spirituality and Religion. I was always interested in the Mystical and chose to become a Catholic. I found a deep spirituality in Catholicism which was fostered by my local Parish priest and amazing Mystics I met along my path, and I studied and experienced Gnosis and a lot of Spiritual training at Retreats and Institutes of Spirituality in Brisbane. I also became interested in Personal Growth and particularly in the Psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, which I became steeped in.
I co-founded the Jung Society of Queensland, The Psychosynthesis Institute and The Australian Transpersonal Institute. I spent over 25 years developing these Institutes and on my own personal and spiritual growth.
In 1987 I was able to travel back to England for the first time since leaving in 1949 and found myself and my second wife Ann, in Glastonbury at The Harmonic Convergence - an auspicious time throughout the world - a coming together of peoples to celebrate the new energies pouring into the Planet. I thought to myself "I am Home". I always knew that when I retired, which was in 1998, that I would return Home to Glastonbury - And so I have.... Glastonbury is a Sacred Isle of transformation and I think always has been, it invokes your all and the Grail Quest can be fulfilled here - I have asked the right question and have been Graced with many blessings- my responsibility now is to share "Agape" - Unconditional Love, as well as I can.
I have become very good at Dowsing and exploring Earth Energies, and write about these, starting with the "Glastonbury Chronicles" which is now 11 years old and continues to be a work in progress.
I have worked with the Glastonbury Pilgrim Reception Centre and have written many introduction brochures for them, design badges and lots of other things as well as serving as a volunteer,
In the last five years has seen me move into the Ageing process as disgracefully as I can. and you can often catch me with Geriatric seniors drinking coffee and often singing "All you need is Love...."
to the groans of my dear friends. I have had to come to terms with my physical parts not working as well - so I am now becoming the Bionic Man - with Glaucoma, Pacemaker and New Hips and not as much as energy as I once had. I see clearly my approaching death, but not yet for awhile, and I realise I am in the right place - The Blessed Isle of the Dead - The transition to Eternal Life is getting closer, but I try to live in the moment and release any anxieties that arise.
It is now 2013 and I am moving into a lighter place of serenity, of an experience of my life slowly fading away and it feels so natural. My physical self is losing its energy more and more each day and I have a sense of my Angels present in some way, and my Soul and Spirit are bright and beautiful.
Life is getting more simple as I ask each day for blessings on my family, each so different who I hold dear to my heart, blessings on friends, blessings on all who are suffering and blessings on my self.
This is written with deep gratitude for what each of my children and Pat have given to me.
But all is well really - The wonder still bubbles in my soul and the fine fine wind carries me ..........
I have admitted the
"Three strange Angels"
into my life, two of whom have now appeared -2011/2013 and have struggled with the utter dichotomy of The Transcendant
and Immanent God, and I Know now............................... that
there is nothing but God.
"ONE HEART, ONE BEING, ONE WILL, ONE GOD, ALL IN ALL"
WHAT THEREFORE IS WISDOM ?
She is intelligent, holy, unique, subtle
flowing, transparent and pure
She is distinct, invulnerable, good,
keen, irresistible, and gracious,
She is humane, faithful, sure, calm,
all-powerful, all seeing, and
available to all who are intelligent, pure,
and altogether simple.
Wisdom of Solomon
