Our word this week: omen.
Definition: an event regarded as a portent of good or evil. If something is an omen, you think it is likely to happen in the future – whether it is good or bad.
Where do you sit with ‘omens’?
It gave us an opportunity to explore and express our feelings about such things.
Where does it lead you? What would you like to express about it?
These sessions bring an opportunity to explore and practice your expression in formats that you feel to engage.
If this is something you’d like to engage, you are most welcome to join us. Or pass it on to someone who you feel may enjoy and gain from this approach.
Next week’s word is ‘solitude’.
Hope to see you there.

River Omen
In the land named Conclusion
The River Omen causes confusion
When you dive underneath its surface
Beware it can rob you of your sense of purpose
Children at a very early age are given a warning
Any prediction can be menacing or rewarding

Omen in China
Did you know if you hear a magpie
That means something good is about to happen
However
If it’s a crow
Then some bad things are on the way
Did you know
When a cat visits your house
That means you will be losing money
While if a dog appears at your doorstep
Congrats
You are going to live a wealthy life
The same luck comes when you feel your left eye twitching
But if it’s on your right side
Unfortunately
You need to be extra careful
Those are some examples passed down from generation to generation in China
Growing up I’ve always felt it interesting to test its truth
A lot of times it was just for fun
Because it added a mysterious flavour to my daily life
What about your culture?
Do you have anything similar?
I am curious to hear

We are just passing through
We look for answers
And signs
To guide us
When we feel lost or
Unsure which way to go
the coincidence
the unusual
the miracle
uncanny
In reality
every moment brings something to see
birds, moths, feathers, songs, bees
field of wild grasses
the smell of freshness
the feel of the breeze
a gentle ease
the perfection of flowers
I could watch for hours
the unexpected owl
nestled in a tree
“Why are you there?
Is it a message for me?
I know you are wise
or so they say
so what words of wisdom
can you bring my way?”
And just like that
my quiet voice replied
Just notice in your day
all that you face
and embrace it
without delay
For you are the care taker
of your patch
that in time you will handover
and never get it back
