Give me your wild
May 26, 2020
Just looking back at old poetry and reflecting...
At a time like this, it's really important to reflect and take comfort in the things which cost nothing which for me, during times of change, uncertainty or stress was always just to listen to my own heart, my own observations of others around me and my own thoughts...
Give me your wild
Give me sweat and sour and all your clamour;
the very rantings of your fragile thoughts
Give me sweetest breath of your desire,
Let me take amusement in your dot to dots.
Give me all the worries of your ancient whispers;
your confidences, your hushes and the murmuring tongue.
Give me great un-saids of wild-wood sisters
stirring fears that keep you on the run.
Give me all your moons and all their glories,
all the bright scintillas of your stars that fall.
Give your bleeding days and bruised-black stories;
sharp star-splinters forcing you to crawl.
Give me time to free you from your corners
your dark and brooding nature when you don’t aspire.
Give me space to set aside your ‘warners’.
Let me keep your flaming mind on fire.

What are you drawn to when it comes to natural resources? Do forest walks leave you reminiscing about your childhood days of discovery and natural experience? What kinds of effects do these beauties of nature afford your wellbeing?
Someone once reminded me of a story that occurred when I was a child coming home from school one day with homework about the senses and I was asked the question 'With what do we feel?' and my infantile answer was 'comfort'.
It’s at times of real difficulty, stress or heartache that we often see the greatest amounts of kindness and tenderness that any one human being is capable of giving or sharing.
Self-work is a long, sometimes arduous, at times very difficult but also greatly rewarding journey and the amazing thing about it is that it really should never end.
A day in my life as I reminisce over conducting a wonderful wedding ceremony that was to be a walk down memory lane in the heart of the Glasgow Barrowlands.
Show yourself that you are capable of so much more than worry by stopping to take time to breathe, stand still, look at yourself closely and know how far you’ve come.
When was the last time (before this pandemic took root and made us prisoners in our own homes) that you really stopped to look at, feel close to, listen to, touch or consider the immense power of the mighty trees that gives shelter above your head?
Yarns, chronicles, anecdotes, tales… Be the reader. Be the reader of awe-inspiring books and epic tales but also take time to read the actions, thoughts, feelings and sharings of those around you by putting down the devices and simply being with each other.
Have you felt during this pandemic that there has been a feeling of ending? Endings of course are a necessary part of life but the anxious feelings arise in the ‘not knowing’ when the new beginning will come around.
Our secure bookshop is now open with a collection of children's books to delight and inspire through literacy and creative arts written by Maria Cairnie.
