What Happened to April?

Well, where did April go to?

You may ask!

It shot by and there were so many things going on that the pen on the blog never had time to settle.

The good news is that publication dates are looking a lot more solid and all is well under way.

The content of the later volumes in The Freedom Cycle have just been given a huge boost. It gets quite tricky when, writing one book, the characters and story line in the subsequent ones start pushing and jostling for exposure.

It's like an actor in the wings wanting to jump their cue.

Still it is good that I am the director and still retain a modicum of control.

Sometimes these guys are pretty strong, so the whip comes out on occasions.

I would however like to make a comment or two, observation, if you will, on Freedom.

It occurs to me that since the umbrella on this cycle is that very word, it is apposite.

Freedom is ultimately a state of being.


It has no relation to outside forces or conditions.

Yet is has everything to do with that.

How can I be so contrary?

Well, because although it has no relation to outside forces , it is those very forces that affect us.

Until we release ourselves from any feelings of de[pendency on these external factors we shall never truly be free.

The secret is that as we release from the external, our internal landscape and dialogue changes.

This change transforms our perception, reaction, response and relation to all.

Are there things that get you pissed?

Are there people that blow you away, badly?

Are there circumstances that you feel powerless to alter?

Get over and adjust your relationship with all these things and they change.

It is a huge miracle of wonder to see how we as Creators of our reality and world can be so omnipotent, is it not?

Frighten you?

Get over it and accept you, accept that you are in the image and likeness and that means doing it all in 7 days when necessary.

Of course you do not believe it. Hit the problem on the head, haven't you.

Not able to accept it?

Then breathe deeply look at a flower as it grows and see the universe in its totality within the expression of just one of its parts.

Then hop inside look into the mirror and gawp at the miracle of the universe in its expression of - YOU.

Yes, dear readers, that is what I call truly awesome.

That is also one of the few times when this word ought to be used to express itself.

But hey, that is my issue and I am sticking to it. Regulars know this well with me.

Go fly a kite, jump for joy, life has never beeen so good nor so free.

Tempus Fugit - but do not throw the clock outta the window

Away from the quill for too long....

Actually the quill of creation has been scribbling away amid certain amounts of writer's 'process'.

Good word that - covers a multitude of sins, oops that word slid in - but you would need to look at today's post (17 March 2009) on my Yogaez Blog to get the point.


So here we are, sailing towards the horizons of a nearly completed volume, where our hero has spent a youthful time indulging in the growth pains of life and takes his aspirations to the New World in search of the spring of Life, the Aqua Vitae of spiritual fulfillment rather than the heady mix of ethanol.

As we search for our dreams, have you ever asked yourself how seriously you have considered what those dreams are to be?

It is a delight to have dreams, yet the reality, may I suggest, is that we do not clearly state or understand those dreams. This leads to a sort of misty order from the menu of life and is subject to all sorts of interpretation that had we been clearer, might have saved a load of suffering, frustration and being pissed with our lot.

That great and wondrous servant, Life, will deliver precisely what we ask for, so of course the admonition of - "Be careful what you ask for", is no more important here and now than at any time gone by or to come.

Clarity brings so much to our table. A clear map, even subject to the changes along the journey, is ultimately a clear map. It allows us to be sure of our footing as we advance. So when we slip we may just notice the added banana skin we threw down having consumed its deliciousness.

Responsible Travel is just that. To be responsible for everything that we invite onto the path is clearly wisdom in action. Denial, apart from not being a river in Egypt, is purely a placement of a huge stumbling block to be engaged with and faced when we least expect or wish for it.

So time goes by, life chuckles with us at our ineptitude and brilliance - both the same things yet utterly different, and we are constantly encouraged to view both Triumph and Disaster, these two great imposters for what they are - imposters.

Ah! Joy, the quill calls as Toto nears the crux.

Today we see so much that he was visioned with. Tomorrow what are you going to witness from today's creations that you have wrought?

Make sure it is something memorable, supportive and fit for growth and expansion.

Now you are talking and creating your true nature....

Go for it!
