This is a mystical moment from a past weekend spent in Cumbria with The Silent Eye. The weekend was entitled The Full Circle : Finding your way home. December 2018
It was late morning on the second day of the course and we visited a ring of stones and trees. Physically there were eight of us present, (one of our number was unwell) After a few moments instead of the space of this large place holding only eight people I was aware that I was caught up in a crowd of thousands of souls. I have a fear of crowds and I was afraid. One tree called to me and drew me to it.
I did confide this to one of my companions, Sue Vincent and she assured me, as the tree had done, that I was safe. There is more to tell.
A Sea of Souls

Gently you called to me
Through the crowds of souls
You led me safely through a boiling sea.
I was trembling, frightened of drowning whole.
I had the word upon my lips
Whispering to you, I know you heard.
I was alive from toes to finger tips.
As you held me safe and shared with me my word.


As you can see the contest is not the only way you can help, there’s always the “Parade”. Reblog one of Sue’s posts from any of her sites (Daily Echo or France and Vincent) with a comment about why you found it special. Follow her blogs. Read one of her books, then leave reviews where you can.

Beautiful, well-penned, Willow
When we need it the most our trees are a great source of comfort.
Love and light, my friend xx

I can’t help but remember better times, but I feel guilty grieving for my friend who is still here.💜

I think I understand what you are saying, I think you know that. Being human isn’t something we should feel guilt for though – but we do.

Yes indeed , it’s hard isn’t it.
Feb 20, 2021 @ 12:19:30
Very hard, and at 3am there’s no one to talk to
Feb 20, 2021 @ 12:39:27
No I know and often if there is they are asleep 💜

Your words flowed from the page like lovely ballad … As Tom Waits would say
“Songs are really just very interesting things to be doing
with the air. “
