Elephants

A UN conservation committee is meeting to discuss a tricky ethical dilemma to do with the sale of ivory - currently prohibited to prevent the poaching of elephants after thousands were killed just for their tusks. There are stockpiles of ivory in Zambia and Tanzania, some of it confiscated from poachers years ago, some of […]

Equinox

The equinox today, the first day of spring. Here in mid-Wales it is wet, and thankfully so.  Since the snows melted in February we have had no rain, and while the weather has been truly beautiful, we had got to the point where ponds were getting low and plants and trees have not burst their […]

Signs in nature

I heard someone this morning talking about how we can use the signs in nature to find our direction without needing to use compasses, maps and sat-nav.  Even though I know which way is north and south from where I live, I have spent a little time today practising what he taught: this included observing […]

Waking up

I awoke yesterday and the energies around me felt quite changed.  It felt calmer, invigorated, purposeful, exciting, and that sense of change and adventure is with me still.  Usually I am well aware of the different phases of the moon, but this time I had forgotten or overlooked the fact that it was the new […]

revelations

Isn't it interesting that we know more about the surface of the moon than we do about our ocean deeps?   So many secrets wait to be discovered about our wonderful planet.  When they are revealed they will change our understanding of our  home (and beyond)  so fundamentally it will be startling, like discovering the earth […]

The joy of the kite

A pair of red kites has flown past my window and are soaring and somersaulting over the water meadow beyond, now.  They are what is known as "displaying", doing aerial acrobats sometimes together sometimes separated but always in unison, and from time to time they brush wings against each other as part of their courtship […]

Lessons in grounding

Today has been remarkable, filled with the unexpected.   It was to have been a busy one anyway, with more than the usual number of clients and an early start, which is why I am writing my commentary late in the day.   In between there have been a number of unscheduled calls, in person and by […]

Rebalancing the sexes

As above, so below... It was, initially, quite startling to learn this week that a traditional practice which I thought to be reducing through common sense is far more prevalent than ever.  It is the tradition that many babies born female are killed at birth in the belief that boy children are more desirable, necessary […]

Planetary perfection

It is another spectacularly stunning day here in mid-Wales.  It is cool, but as I write in the early morning the sun is strong and the colours of the mountains and trees are vibrant in their chakra colours.  I wrote yesterday of the beauty of our blue planet, and as I look around me I […]

Good television

I watched a television programme last night on the sun and its importance in the solar system.  It was wonderful - most interesting and with wonderful photography, totally justifying the cost of my TV licence!   Much was made of the history and power of the sun, and the amount of energy that is available […]
