Dancing Body

14/9/2017

Allow your body to guide the movement of your soul,
Surrendering to…
Well everything…
Let your hands, feet, waist,
Travel you into unknown realms,
The surrounding vibration of the place in which you stand…
Move with it…
When by the ocean…
Connect with it with the movement of your body,
Be the fluidity,
Immersing yourself beneath the depths of the water.
When among the trees,
Allow your movements to take you within each trunk,
Feeling the wind move your branches,
Blowing your leaves,
As you float very slowly off the branch swirling and twirling among the air,
A most magical journey…
Then reaching the ground, the earth…
Feeling that cold moist sensation throughout your entire body…
Being on stable ground.
When on the top of a mountain…
Feel the majestic grandiose expansion,
Covering land after land,
The ancient wisdom of the rocks that have witnessed time after time.
Or perhaps when you are among a field,
Dance with the wild flowers and weeds,
Moving left and right with the breeze.
When among a group of people who are doing the same,
Dancing moving, their body & soul…
Move among them, with them,
Connecting, and amplifying that freedom,
That beauty,
That expansion beyond physical borders…
Dancing…

Being That Uniqueness: A Struggle & Beauty

13/9/2017

Sometimes I wonder…
Am I living among aliens?
Or perhaps I am the alien?
I observe everyday life…
The people around me…
I wonder “aha that’s what it’s like?”
I hear people’s stories of the things that go on,
Behavior unknowing to me….
Yet normal for everyone else…
Sometimes I feel completely clueless as to what the etiquette is…
What do you say?
What does this thing mean or that?
I clearly do not know.
I do not live in that world.
I live in my individual world where there is no such thing…
A way to do, be, something specific to say, a fixed route, routine.
When I realize this and look around sometimes it scares me…
Deeply…
As I do not know what it is…
What to expect…
It is completely unknown to me…
It frightens me deep in my bones,
As it’s almost as if I have no idea where I am…
Such an alien place…
It creates sadness…
Unrest…
Then…
I remember who I am…
Maybe it’s all a symptom of being yourself…
I ground myself within myself…
I be my uniqueness…
Unaffected by what everyone else is doing…
Immersed in my creativity…
And the weaving of that that does not yet exist…
Then it all switches…
I no longer feel uncomfortable within others skin…
It does not matter as I am beyond comfortable within my own…
Life becomes interesting…
Fascinating…
Beautiful…
People an interesting species to observe…
The diversity…
It becomes more like an adventure…
Like I am travelling in foreign countries my whole life…
Experiencing new things which perhaps for others is normal everyday life but for me…it’s brand new…
That normal is different to me…
Emotions…feelings…thoughts…beliefs….
I bounce back into feeling uncomfortable & a wee bit scared,
To feeling at awe…
Grateful to be living in such an amazing place…
One thing I do know is it does not frighten me away from being myself,
That is the only thing I deeply know,
That is familiar,
Everything else changes around me…
It fluctuates…
Environments, people, life, constantly moving…
& that is beautiful…
As long as I am being myself…
I can allow everything else around me to be…
As different, unique, or same as it pleases…
At times diving under water feeling comfortable…
& Other times…
On the surface above the water uncomfortable with a whole unknown world beneath me…

Frog Magic

4/9/2017

0 Comments

If you saw a previous blog I wrote about the frogs. When I first arrived on this land the frogs were croaking. It was my nighttime lullaby. Then they stopped and there were tadpoles everywhere. One day I noticed a tiny little frog swimming, as I took a closer look they were everywhere. Sooooo adorable!!!!
Then suddenly I no longer saw them in the water. For days I was wondering. Until one day I noticed one of them on the plants not sure what they are called they look like long grasses, the ones that come out of the pond. Then I looked closely and saw another elsewhere and another and another. That’s where they were! They were sunbathing!!!
Every day when I walk to the kitchen, or shower, or sauna I pass the little bridge and stroll right by them all along the pathway hanging out in the sun, always putting a smile on my face and warming my heart.
They bring me joy every day :-)

Following are a video and photos.

Fox Wish

2/9/2017

0 Comments

This week I was going to go on a day trip to visit my friend on San Juan island. They have lots of foxes there. There is a certain spot where you can usually see them. My friend told me she hasn’t seen any. I was hoping that she would want to go to that area at one point that day. Before going on the ferry I asked life if I could see a fox.

When I arrived and saw my friend I realized going to the fox area was not in the plan for the day. We were walking along the harbor and heard a heron making a ferocious sound, we both looked at each other never heard a heron make any sound before. Then we saw a beautiful orange fox walking across the rocks.

My friend said: “how incredibly unusual what is a fox doing here and living along the rocks under the houses? Very unusual thing to see.”

The other day I had a very beautiful conversation with this one stranger. As I say goodbye he tells me: “you are such a beautiful soul.”
“Bluebirds, butterflies, and rainbows and there is nothing wrong with a unicorn up on top.”
I love that!!!

I get to the end of the road almost ready to hitchhike to town. Across the road I see a garage sale with a very cool set up. I see scarves. I think “I would love to receive one for free” (instinctive).I felt drawn to them. I say ah ok dont have any specific time frame to go to town looks fun.

I start looking around the man comes over to me and says : “we are giving out a free scarf to every pretty woman.” I find one I love. I walk around. A man drives up looks at me. “the women on orcas keep getting more and more prettier.”
I find something for a special little being and ask how much. Guy says “free for pretty girls.”
I go across the street ready to hitchhike before I get a chance a man across the street calls out “ill take you” and off to town I was.

What You Call “love”

14/8/2017

0 Comments

To me what you call “love” is being yourself…it cannot be defined as we are all so unique…It is everyone, and everything, all of life, it exists, in everyone…everyone holds a piece to make up what love is…who we are is different to every other being. You are a unique gift just like everyone else. Love is not something specific just like a gift can be anything in any form. For one the same gift can be the worst thing in the world to the other it can be the best gift in the world! A smile can be a form of kindness as well as a form of cruelty. “Love” is expressed through the other within their own unique design. Have you ever had a hard time finding a gift for someone? That is because you have to find what that person defines as love, based on who they are.

You will find some aspects of love within yourself and others through everyone else. Love cannot be defined as something or someone specific. This is why they say there are many kinds of love, it is not something solid…it expresses itself through you in its own unique way. So love is something different and unique within every person. It is who you are deep within and who everyone else is deep within. You cannot define it…naming certain actions as loving and unkind it all depends. One moment love can be this and another something entirely different.

This is why they say “love is everything” “the answer is love.” It is not even selflessness and unconditional…it can be…yet it is so much more..it can also be selfish and conditional. They are just tiny pieces, examples of what love can be…love can be anything…stop trying to define it.

So when you are searching for love you are searching for that which you truly are which can be found nowhere else because there is no one exactly like you. It is not even self love, that’s part of it, as you are one form and every other living being forms another. You are also searching for something that you cannot hold in your hand unless you hug every person and living thing at once to have all the forms of love within your grasp.

We simply choose which types of love we prefer with the people or persons standing next to us. When you are being you, the world is tasting a unique flavor of love. Another version. There are billions!!! Such a shame it is when you are not being you, the world looses a special gift, another differentiated version of what love is that can be found nowhere else.

We meet love every day, all around us…in a tree, a flower, the ocean, the lady bug, and porcupine. Ask nature it knows. It is herself, she is not trying, aspiring, or perspiring to be anything, she just is. And through herself gives life and astonishing beauty to everything around it. Allowing you to be that too…to be…YOU. She is simply being. Whatever being you is…that is love….

You can never be without it, it exists everywhere around you. You can find it through the other, through a human, a dog, or wild animal. You can find it walking walking along the beach feeling the sand beneath your toes, or looking at the stars…It is within your grasp every moment of the day. This is why you find dogs, animals, and nature healing. They are just being themselves. They are grounded like a tree. Every moment of the day they are aware and choosing what is correct for them to be and flourish… when to grow leaves, absorb water from its roots, to store it within its trunk…. moving to the rhythms of life that is constantly moving and changing. They do not plan, they can’t, it is too unpredictable, the storms, the rain…instead it moves with life through its awareness…moment by moment. The result? It scatters oxygen throughout the entire world giving life to everything. It is not trying to do anything, it is just being the tree it is.

So give up this insanity, the search, the questions, the answers, the trying, and be the unique tree you are and if you forget and need a reminder just go sit by a tree. It is awareness…its own unique form of awareness…everyone and everything has its own unique form and through this awareness you can find what you call “love”.

What if you stopped this insanity of trying to define what anything is?

What you call “love” my friend is simply a matter of awareness as to what definition of love is correct for you whether it be another human being in the form of a lover, partner, colleague, or friend…or a pet, a place to live, belief, a system that works for you, therapy, a type of music, a food that nourishes your body, or a sport that heightens your adrenaline…the answer lies within you and your awareness. You can choose to follow that or not…this is where you have a choice. Yet you do not have a “choice” how, where, and in what form it will come. Love is not a “choice” just like happiness is not a “choice.” It is an awareness of what form of happiness and love is correct for you that nourishes your being, that love or happiness that allows you to be you, and THEN choosing that.

A tree does not choose who it gives off oxygen to or what is going to nourish its roots it is simply aware every moment of the day and it moves along with it, with life, with being the
unique tree it is.

What if you would be the unique tree you are?

When you are being you, you will express forms of kindness, what kindness is for you, and the other will perceive it as so in whatever form it takes. We are never truly not being our complete full selves, just cutting pieces off, so we are always being some kind of type of “love” just hiding all the rest. The more we are being ourselves the more of that exists. Unkindness and cruelty come from being those aspects we are not, the outside world. Yet at the same time those little aspects for another can be who they are so when they are being it, those same things are acts of kindness and love, and those aspects they act out that are not them take the form of unkindness and cruelty. Even an act of unkindness can be perceived as an act of love for the one who performs it, it is simply a lack of awareness of who you are and trying to be that which you are not.

In essence love does not exist through a specific form, person, or thing. Perhaps it is simply a word we created to describe all the differentiated aspects that make up life?
And this is why you are the greatest gift you can give anyone….

Every one of you is and has been a gift in my life and I am grateful for you…I learn and discover a new form of “love” and beauty through you…thank you….

and now I am off to be….

So at first at the pond you would hear the frogs croaking all through the night it was one of my lullabies. Then they stopped disappeared the work was done. Then got to watch the tadpoles.

Then on Wednesday I saw baby tiny frogs everywhere! I was so happy they are sooooo adorable!!!! As I was looking at all the frogies swimming around I saw a snake swimming in the pond which I have never seen in there and then there was another. Well goes to say the next day there weren’t so many baby frogs.

They made my day and everyday they do. Now ill get to watch them grow!!!

My name is Gaia (Γαία) and I was born on the beautiful lush island of Kos, along the Aegean sea of Greece, where Hippocrates, the "father of medicine" was born. I am a writer (favorite being children's stories and fairy tales), artist, dancer, modern day Greek Mythologist, nature dweller, photographer, traveler, dreamer, and creator. I love creativity...I love all nature, especially trees.

One of my greatest joys is connecting people with nature in which I have spent most of my life in solitude contemplating and enjoying its wisdom, and empowering people to be their authentic selves, reconnecting them to their true essence and calling in life.

At the moment I am following my passion writing my fairy tale books.
