Mothers Day
Honouring one’s mother should be as obvious as breathing.
This weekend many people go one step further; so I am delighted to bring you a real-life story from a beautiful subscriber.
Enjoy……..
About 12 years ago when Mother’s Day came around I had nobody to give an actual card to because both my husband’s mother and my own had died years before, so I was feeling a bit sad and motherless – until it dawned on me that I had Mother Earth.
Every single morning since moving into our home I’d stood at the kitchen window looking out over the lovely greenery and the ocean and giving thanks to Mother Earth for such a blessing.
So I thought I’d wish her Happy Mother’s day that year, due to fall the following day.
We live high and have a tiered garden at the side of the lower floor, and up that side of the house and over that garden area a wild wind was almost always rushing.
I decided to dig a mound of dirt the shape of a heart for Mother Earth and put flowers over it – I made a nice shape and early the next day, I went outside to see what flowers were blooming – but there were none.
The only flower in the whole garden area was a pretty pink geranium with only two flowers blooming – however each bloom was made up of dozens of little petals with a tiny stem all joined into the main one.
I carefully removed the blooms and took them to the heart, then very gently pulled out each little stem, and with a pencil I put a hole in the heart and then the stem and pushed it all together……..there were just exactly enough to cover the heart!!
I gently sprinkled it with water and then knelt beside it and wished Mother Earth a ‘Happy Day’ with thanks and then kissed the soil beside it.
For 3 whole weeks the wind blew with a fury as it was Autumn when the winds blow most of the time…… and the sun fiercely dried the earth……. and then the rains pounded everything flat……. but not this heart with its fragile little petals which was right in the path of the wildest weather: it stayed fresh and bright for all that time.
A wonder to behold!
I knew then and there that Mother Nature was indeed grateful, and I have done the same every year since.
Sometimes I use leaves around the edges or ribbon grass or whatever I have to adorn it.
One time there was not a single bloom in the garden so I bought a bunch of beautifulwhite M.D. flowers and cut short stems and poked them into the heart shape, making a delightful high mound and display, and those flowers all withered and died within 4 days.
So it seems this blessing must come from our own garden.
Just the same, none since has lived a full three weeks, but they all survive at least two, which is remarkable and I never water them after the first sprinkling.
I believe that this is my Thank You.
This weekend it will be time to dig another heart mound……..
Blessings to you all,
Robyne

A PRAYER OF COMMITMENT
Dear Friend, This week I’d like to share with you my most popular and (for me) my most life-changing prayer….. Dearest God, Founder of the infinite universe, Spirit of the living Earth, And Creator of the livingness deep within my soul, I send you boundless Love! Your kingdom was – and is – and always
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Dear Friends, My recent Messages regarding Love emphasise the truth of our Being. But in a world of chaos and confusion how do we realistically retain our own inner calm and peace long enough to BE that love? For me, the answer came in one of my earliest conversations with the Divine: I was asked
ANOTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Dear Friends, The two Messages contained in my previous article emphasis that we already contain within ourselves – often deeply hidden – everything we are and need to be. We simply need to reveal our “True Being” to ourselves: no-one can do it for us. Indeed, whilst others may easily see our “true worth” it’s
THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL MY MESSAGES
Dear Friends, In 1991 (35 years ago) I channelled the first of many hundreds of messages from a spiritual source I came to know as ‘Mordechai’. This first message said: ‘There is nothing to do, Nowhere to go, Nothing to become Except your own True Self And this you but reveal unto yourself For you
THE TALE OF THE THREE ALIENS
Once upon a time on a planet zeeons away from idyllic Earth three alien brothers found themselves at odds with one another. They were named Whinge, Cringe and Binge. Born triplets, as small children they had seemed to get on well but as they aged their differences became very apparent…… The first-born, Whinge, loudly and
THE TALE OF NINE WINDS
Once upon a time (not very long ago) there were just two winds. One was called Morris, the other was called Boris. Both of them thought they were the mightiest winds the world had ever known. And, in a way, they were. They both tried to control the sky and everything under it. They huffed
The Tale Of the Two Raindrops
https://youtu.be/0VLhoEoV8_o (Well worth watching!) Once upon a time there were two raindrops. One was called Ernie, the other Fred. They floated around the world looking down at all its wonders in a kind of space-ship called a cloud….. Ernie would lean over the edge and watch in amazement and excitement as the world passed beneath
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
Many wonder how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids……well, they did it using complex geometric calculations…algebra and trigonometry, quadratic equations and numerical calculations worthy of an AI machine…… That’s because they were a highly advanced society, rather like ours in some ways….. This is one of their manuscripts, now in the British Museum after 3500
The Pagan in All Of Us
To watch go to Ctrl+Click :https://youtu.be/CLzozhOrT3M Some of you are Christians, some Buddhists or Hindus, a few are Sikhs and a fair number follow Native Indian practices. A smattering probably describe themselves as “spiritual’. So who is on the winning team and who is barracking for the losers? And the answer is ‘everyone’ and ‘no-one’.

Homelessness – Please help if you can
Dear Friends, I’m sure we’ve all walked past people on the street who are homeless – and most of us have probably tried to avoid eye contact with a person who was maybe busking or otherwise seeking money purely for food. More and more people seem to be falling through the gaping holes in our
Be Extraordinary
This Week………. BE EXTRAORDINARY!! Anthony Robbins once said: “Why live an ordinary life when you can live an extraordinary one?”. I guess that makes sense to most people. But I feel most people miss the truth of the suggestion and instead think it means being outrageously successful in whatever work they undertake or unbelievably abundant
CHOOSING PEACE OVER DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY
Dear Friends, Like me, I’m sure you love the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and many of the more modern spiritual teachers. Lao-Tse (which means ‘The Old One’) often gets his wisdom relegated to gift plates and mugs. His real name was Li-Er and he lived around 2600 hundred years ago in China’s Henan Province.
TRUSTING the True Divine
To access the video https://youtu.be/WiMcSrh8P88 . Whilst I’m on a roll with Biblical stories I have another one for you. Last week I spoke about truly trusting the Divine. This week I’d like to explore trusting the True Divine. I have been reminded of the story I told decades ago about Abraham being told by
TRULY TRUSTING THE DIVINE
To access the video – https://youtu.be/tA1CyWfxyuw It’s a great way to HEAR me sharing my beliefs with you more personally! . All religions contain priceless gems of ageless wisdom. Last week I mentioned the ancient story of Moses and the Israelites fleeing Egypt with Pharoah and his men chasing them down as they reached the
Easter Sunday
Dear Friends, I follow no religion but relate to aspects of all of them to some degree. Below is a poem I wrote years ago regarding the Christian Easter. It forms one of 333 of my poems I will be publishing later this year. If either the word ‘poem’ or ‘Christian’ offends you please simply
THE GIFT THAT IS EASTER
https://youtu.be/t-nANIUCuZY For Christians, Easter celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus. In the same way that Moses (and all his people) crossing the very wide and rather deep Red Sea – the waters of which miraculously parted to create dry land – was almost certainly an apocryphal story (in other words, a pictorial rather than
THE HEART AND HOME OF LIFE IS LOVE
https://youtu.be/A8lJUFX4cS0 Everyone loves ‘home’. Those that have one, appreciate the roof over their head, the floor beneath their feet. Those that don’t have one, yearn for one. It can be a palatial palace or a simple hut. In my teen years, home for me was under the steps of a Kings Cross pub. It was
