OCTOBER 30th -

Already we are nearing the end of October. Full Moon tomorrow, and continuing wild and wet weather.

As usual, the weather dominates. From last week when it was still dry and bright, encouraging clothes drying and outside work, to several days of high wind , rain and greyness. Having said that there are sometimes “gaps” in the day. Two days ago I walked down to the beach in dryness and was very surprised not only to feel there was little wind, but it was fairly mild. But then standing by the seas edge there was such a contrast. it was just past high tide, but the sea was so “angry”….huge breakers as far as you could sea, a great roar of wind and rolling shingle…it was like being part of two worlds. Very dramatic and invigorating ! Walking back home I got caught in a short sharp, almost hail shower, and then this led to the most perfect vibrant rainbow spanning the pathway. Nature is amazing, so many very pure experiences in such a short space of time. So much to be thankful for.

I am currently working on a commission for a scarf made with a different colour combination, and a change of style than is usual, and it is great to work on this. It leads me into thinking of a whole lot of other ideas and possibilities. So , although it is a slow process, I am enjoying the difference.

So I hope you are finding “gaps” in your days too.

Stay well, safe and uplifted………I am off on a beach walk again.

With Love, Moya.

OCTOBER 18th -

Another week of big changes and upheavals. I am trying to balance all the Political and World changes going on with what is going on in my life, but this week there were a lot of family and close friends events that tipped things and I can feel I need to pay more attention to my own health system just now, to re-balance. One of my dear friends, Joan, who lived by the jetty in the village here on the island, died this week. It was unexpected . She was an inspiration, at 87 her mind and spirit were so alive and vibrant . I shall miss her.

I have continued weaving this week, and exploring ways to come up with a new poncho style shawl. I have also been doing some more gardening as the weather has been beautiful for several days. with the New Moon the tides have been very low, and there is that rare stillness without the wind. It heightens the sounds of the small birds perched along on the wires, and the calling of the geese as they fly over in their groupings.

Wishing you strength and hope for the coming days.

Moya.
