Canny Annie
03:53

|
Canny Annie had a canine companion
He might have been a crossbreed
May have been Italian.
They walked in the woods
With the squirrels in the trees
And they listened to the birds
And they shot the breeze.
Canny Annie had a cat called Che
He might have been a Maine Coon
May have been a stray.
She knew he was good
He was rescued from the street
And they cuddled while they could
And their life was neat.
Canny Annie had fish in a pond
She rode her broomstick
With her magic wand.
Had peas for breakfast
And cheese for tea
And talked to the fish
Telepathically...
Canny Annie wore her heart on her sleeve
She held my hand
And she felt us breathe.
She dreamed of a place
We could fly away free
And speak of magick and alchemy...
Canny Annie lit candles by the fire
And healed the world
With a deep desire.
To make it better for us to be.
Put women in charge and why don’t we see
If the world runs better on empathy...
(and a little dose of Reiki...)

The Witches Bells
02:57
|

|
My favourite sound is the witches bells
On her front door.
Open the door to her house of spells
You can see more.
Nobody asks and no-one tells
What they stand for.
There are many parallels
In the folklore.
She sells seashells on the dancefloor
Just to pay for Dior.
She can be Tyrannosaur
She can be so much more.
She’s your diplomatic corps
And your long-lived sycamore.
She can be your lifelong mentor
And forevermore...

Listen to Your Heart
02:36
|
|||
|
Don’t just listen to your head
You’ve been trained to think that you should always obey it.
Listen to your heart.
Listen to your gut.
Don’t let the mind rule over them,
it’s full of all the shit that people have forced into you.
Listen to your dreams
Follow intuition.
Nobody can teach you stuff your heart doesn’t know
And only you can know where it will take you.
Stuff the rules -
Remember they are only there for fools.

Spirit of Earth
07:38
|
|||
|
Spirit of Earth,
sand and stone, your power is patience and endurance.
You sustain our humble existence. Spirit of earth, spirit of fertility.
Spirit of water,
rivers and springs, your power dissolves and releases, purifies and heals.
Peaceful but mighty, lifeblood of the earth. Spirit of water,
spirit of nourishment.
Spirit of fire,
lightning and hearth, purifying power, glow of the rising sun.
Force of new beginnings, flame of passion and life.
Spirit of fire, spirit of force.
Spirit of air,
feathers and winds, in the ebb and flow of your eternal words:
clarity, strength, harmony.
Spirit of air, spirit of wisdom.
Spirit of infinity.
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
are Earth signs,
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
are Water signs,
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
are Fire signs,
Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
are Air signs.

Love Yourself Again
03:37
|
|||
|
When you started talking
I thought it was a game
Read your mind and realised
That it was pretty tame
You didn’t feel emotion
And you thought it was a shame
You felt like you were guilty
And you held on to the blame.
When you came the second time
I knew you weren’t the same
You saw the fault of fashion
And you saw the fault of fame
You knew the old excuses
They were pretty lame
And you really won me over
With your passion and your aim.
I really had to love you cos you loved yourself again.
I really had to love you cos you loved yourself again.

As above, so below
As within, so without
As the universe, so the soul.
Elektronik Krampus Kismet.
She has the soul of a gypsy
She has the heart of a hippy
She has the spirit of a dragonfly
I fly, therefore I am.
Energy twister, Powerful resistor,
Supersonic Little sister.
I feel, therefore I am. I feel emotions, and I am.
(I feel) emotionally attached
Emotionally attached to you.
Energy twister, Powerful resistor,
Supertonic Little sister.
All the people in outer space
Do faddy diets in their home base.
Does them no good in their inner place
But you should try it, it’s fun to chase.
See that advert in your face
Have to buy it, it’s a rat race.
Forget that, don’t deny it
let’s all go on a Reiki riot!

Love People She Said
03:46
|
|||
|
Take care of yourself,
Love people she said
Take care of yourself,
Love people she said
Theresa, you completed me
You gave love unconditionally
And when you went
I had nowhere to go
No reason to smile
or laugh any more
No present, no future,
No reason to live
My fire burnt out,
And nothing to give.
But she came to me
one night in my bed
Take care of yourself,
love people she said
Take care of Nikki,
love people she said
Take care of Willow,
love people she said.
And she came to me
in the middle of the night
And she touched my soul
and held me tight
And in the dark she showed me light
And opened my eyes
and gave me sight.
And she sent me friends
who listened to me
And they held my hand
and talked to me
And they healed my heart
and let me be me
And thank you Terry
for setting me free.
I’ll never stop loving you
You’ll always be with me
Walking beside me
Keeping me safe.

She's Impulsive
05:02
|
|||
|
(not quite a Quatrain)
She’s little Miscellaneous
The shock is quite convulsive
She’s never extraneous
And she finds bad repulsive...
She’s spontaneous.
Her movement is propulsive
She’s all contemporaneous
Totally compulsive
And in your subcutaneous...
She’s impulsive.
She’s dynamical - 4 dimensional
She’s botanical - Insurrectional...
She’s a radical.
She’s indispensable
She’s fantastical
She’s very sensual
She’s untameable...
She’s unconventional.
Spontaneous... And radical...
Impulsive... Unconventional.

American Indian societies and spiritual practices gave birth to a new way of thinking. The following writers are credited with catapulting nature spirituality in America.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Nature always wears the
colours of the spirit”
“The earth laughs in flowers.”
“Adopt the pace of nature:
her secret is patience”
“The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship”
Henry David Thoreau
“What is the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet
to put it on?”
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”
“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
John Muir
“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”
“Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.”
