Hello lovey Batties, this is the first post for 2017 so a very Happy New Year to you all. I’m determined to start the year as I mean to go on with regard to being authentic to myself, (lol, who else would I be authentic too!) I recently read a post from a gentleman by … Continue reading Dance to your own beat
Hello my lovely Batties, it’s been a while since I last wrote a post. When I look back over the year, I can see that things got a little dark in the latter half. I make no apologies for that as it was me being real. I write not just to entertain others but as … Continue reading Happy New Year
May the North Wind blow her breath on the sterility within me, within this nation, this world. May it form an icicle that Thor’s Hammer can shatter into a trillion pieces. May the Spring Sun shine her gentle light and encourage seedlings of fecundity to grow in the void. May the Spring Rains cause them … Continue reading My Prayer
There is a yearning, a deep ache within me. A sense of evolution, a sense of becoming. Surely it is the wise woman, the crone shifting within me? Calling me to know her, to embrace her. To fear not the power that rumbles in my soul, shaking my being. She will not be ignored any … Continue reading Winter
I used to think the ground was solid and safe, supporting my weight. Then suddenly it was taut, like stretch tarpaulin and catapulted me into space.

Some parts I have freely given, others have been wrenched from me. I’m gasping, grasping for wisdom. Painful, hurtful, helpless, sick to … Continue reading Fragmenting
Oh Great Dragon of old, see me And let your breath consume me in its fire May the dross I hold so tightly Unravel in the heat of its flame Release me from its choking hold I pray Oh that thou would let me draw near To be devoured in the fire of antiquity Turn … Continue reading Sweet Deliverance
Exercise has been a bit of a ‘dirty’ word for me of late. I have gone to bed every evening thinking about how I should do some walking and yoga. I especially love yoga but have been unable to motivate myself to do any. Not all of it my fault, mostly due to very low … Continue reading A Walk on the Wild Side
I carry it within my heart A song that is uniquely mine It is strange and yet familiar Distant and yet close by I have forgotten the words And remember not the melody Now is the tempo fast or slow? These things I do not know It is the song of my birth My existence, … Continue reading My Song
Again you accuse me Oh how it hurts The feeling of judgement Rejection and worse How do I please you? I know not what to say I live to make you happy Make this pain go away It frightens me so The power that you wield The past returning It haunts my world Oh wait … Continue reading The Pain Within
