Shazar's meanderings
from a life of service to Mother EarthWelcome to my blog –
it meanders through many different topics as you will see… some pure fiction – many about my life and personal views – I hope you will gain some insights from whatever your read here and that these musings will be of value to you.
The Big Wind…
I didn’t write anything for my regular Writers Group tonight.. and the reason is…. Tonight I was mopping up after a cyclone.. “where?.. what?.. a cyclone.. what are you talking about - the storm was last week and it wasn’t even that bad?” No .. a cyclone.. and this...
Same as it ever was…..
Change, what change? Did anything really change? Our sun rises and sets “same as it ever was” in the words of Talking Heads. The moon waxes and wanes and tonight she will burst forth with all her glory from behind the rain clouds into her fullness of the Scorpio moon...
Speaking up or Shutting up
“It is time she said.. it is time to step outside of being safe.. it is time to say what is rising in her heart… it is no longer time to Stay Safe - it is time to Stay Awake…. Who is to say what is fake news and what is not? As we each circle around each other -...
Lessons from my Golden Orb

Only Me – in the time of the virus
Can I survive? Can my relationship survive.. can we all survive.. what if we don’t - who will care.. the planet will be happy .. maybe I too will be happy .. who knows.. what is the truth.. what is real what is emotion what is logic.. So many questions plaguing me .....
The rains…

Doing what is necessary
My Indian Kitchen Yesterday was a flurry of doing just what was necessary here.. I woke early - meditated for a short time then began my day - my morning things the time for myself - drinking my morning drink and preparing for the day. The morning ritual culminating...
Crab Soup Dumplings
"Crab soup dumplings .. mmm" she said as she perused the strange menu. " Is that really what we are going to choose.. well why not. after all if you don’t try stuff how are you to know if you will like it." They were seated at the small laminated table - plastic...
My Love Affair with Bread…
Bread - that humble food - the food that can be the food of Gods - the food of the worker, and the farm hand and the politician. All the breads of the world - French breads crusty hot long filled with deliciousness - the camenbert, the brie - the gooey runny cheeses....
