Being Nocturnal

24/9/2017

   I recently discovered according to my chart I am nocturnal and it is really starting to make sense…

   I always felt at night the most natural and comfortable as if it was who I am. It always used to feel so unnatural for me to be indoors at nighttime. I felt I wanted to be outside and I would go almost every night outside for hours. Go for a walk down to the sea, dance, lay out in the sand dunes and watch the stars. It always felt so unnatural and upsetting when I would have to go back indoors at night time. It always felt like my element and my favorite time to be in nature.
    I love to walk in the dark I always have. I would take walks in nature, very often I would go to the nearby forest in the dark and hang out with the peacocks, and owls. I would dance and just be. With no light too, my eyes adjust to the darkness after a while. I love that..always have..it always felt like that was me.

    Starting from the time of sunset I felt I was coming alive that that was my time. Perhaps nighttime also is the unknown, I am very comfortable in the unknown.

   I just realized this as I was dancing outside in the dark which is my favorite thing in the world to do. I would always go out dancing by myself at nighttime. I always waited until sunset or after never before. The later the better I felt when the moon was out. Perhaps that’s why I always had a resonance to owls and bats too? I don’t know. I just feel so comfortable at night, the smell, the quiet, it feels so alive to me….

   And of course my main totems whatever you want to call it are the porcupine and wolf so there you go! Plus I am told I have skunk, badger and coyote in me so they all come alive at night  
   A friend of mine commented “maybe we are seeing a landscape in an external world, and at night perhaps more of an inner landscape projected into a quiet theater?”

I thought that was lovely….

The Path of the Pure Individual (At Times Treacherous)

22/9/2017

The path of the pure individual,
 Is not easy,
It is sometimes treacherous,
Filled with all kinds of judgment from the outside world,
Within the context of the collective and tribal it is not often welcomed,
It is a threat after all,
It brings mutation…change.
A different way of viewing things, doing things, being,
It is following its own trip,
It cannot follow their rules,
It is not suppose to,
It has its own unique path to create.
A threat to the system,
That needs to follow a certain order & all be and do the same.
The individual is not here for this.
Words you will hear are anarchist, selfish, unrealistic, incorrect, wrong,
& all kinds of other unaware words uttered.  
Yet the individuals are the ones that empower others to fulfill their potential,
Through that uniqueness,
 To see the true possibility of the individual, society, imagination, creativity…of life.
It is a sad & lonely path at times, yet thoroughly empowering…
To yourself and others.
You will always be an outcast among most,
Yet a driving empowering force for others.  
Ah people & their Judgment…
Perhaps something else the individual brings to the world and the most important is acceptance…
A certain openness,
Breaking down that wall of narrow mindedness.
Demonstrating that there is no right way of being…
“My way is right and yours is wrong,”
Instead there is allowance.   
What is empowerment after all?  Is it not one aspect of caring for one self and for others?
To allow them to be who they are and follow their dreams, a certain system, or belief,
That perhaps does not match yours?
 But yet…you let them be?
Is the world ready for this change? I wonder?
There is a lack of understanding of the path of the individual…
Almost like a war against,
A war of ignorance.
It is not the easiest thing to follow the beat of your own drum sometimes,
Yet…
 The most fulfilling path you will ever embark on.
The collective brings its own magic..and the tribal another…
And the individual has a place as well.
The individual brings its uniqueness,
 An avenue so we do not have to hold on to the old paradigms,
Improvement, change, evolving…
Without it things would remain the same,
Which is fine too.
It is the unknown which is feared by most,
Security, being safe, sounds better, routine, that…known.
Anything different is a threat instead of a potential,
It is uncomfortable,
Not welcomed…yet refreshing deep down within…
Because you too probably hold some aspect of individuality within,
Which is being given permission to be,
If people are not ready for it you will be ostracized, outcasted, and judged.
But who cares?
The correct people for you to be around will not see you this way.
Somewhere someone decided that being the same is normal,
Yet through my eyes its quite unnormal.
There is beauty in both,
& there should be acceptance of both.
It is not the easiest thing to follow the beat of your own drum sometimes,
Yet…
 The most fulfilling path you will ever embark on.

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

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

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.”

     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.
