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.
Emotions – the roller-coaster of life
Emotions are the roller-coasters of life. How would my life be if I can detach from my emotional body? Would that be freedom? Would that be flat, like a desert plain with no ripples, no valleys, no heights? Who would I be if I left my emotional self on the shelf...
Don’t drink the water – on your first day back!
Being sick in a different land has its own challenges. A wretched persistent UTI coupled with a dose of Hubli well water runs.. mmm. Sometimes I am glad of the medical world. Despite my gung ho attitude about all things pharmaceutical at most times. Tonight after a...
Remembering Connection
The tears come - spring into my eyes .. and will not stop. I know if I let go the flood gates will open - so I breathe into it - the opening is there unbidden but rushing in. Gifted to me with no volition of my own. Simply being here - being for a moment still - and...
Contributing to the Community
I saw a doco about a man who paints on walls.. he painted in Vanuatu and there he contributed to the community. He painted a wall in a very obscure place - far from the tourist walks. He paints big walls in big cities, but this small contribution warmed his heart and...
The Universe is a Friendly Place
Yes I hear you say.. not always.. and you would be right. But tonight as I came home to my room in Hubli, this was really true for me. I had been for my first acupuncture treatment - since my last series back in October. Dr Anand Varma.. what a gem he is.. I wrote...
The Way It Is
I'm not going to say 'only in India'.. but sometimes that phrase does feel appropriate and today.. well - I had interesting experiences at the carpentry shop! We are in a big town called Nizamabad - staying at a lodge right in the middle of the market area. The...
The Gemini Full Moon
Its time.. time to begin getting ready to leave for my next sojourn in India. And tonight the moon is full and my friend the Cosmic Queen in her infinitely precise words for the astrological times advised: "Call in the vision of your best possible life, situation -...
My Mother Left a Scar on My Soul
My mother left a scar on my soul. Can you see it? If you look closely - you may. If you knew her you might hear her in my laugh - or glimpse a shadow of her being in the turn of my head. The scarring was oh so painful as it was made but now this scar is simply a...
Miracles in Pathoda Village
Pathoda Village in Maharasthra India - has experienced miracles. And while there yesterday I was privileged to witness three of them. The first and most astounding happens nightly in a small corrugated iron house in this remote village. Here there is an altar...
Clicking Like doesn’t change our world
I have been having a meltdown this morning - With some help from my friends, I came to understand what this ‘meltdown’ has been about and what it has shown me. Simply - I need to “let go of outcomes” - and do what I do do simply because it is mine to do. And as I move...
