Peel Forest, Canterbury, New Zealand. Forest Fuschia, Karen Lighthouse Right now, the well has run dry and I feel as though I have nothing to give. So I'm posting a creation from last year and hope that it can bring refreshment to some. I am one with the wind that blows The power that creates …
Author: Karen Lighthouse
I feel deeply connected to nature and believe we are all part of it. Whilst not religious, I do believe everyone is a unique expression of the Divine and worthy of love and joy. I am also a poet, photographer, lover of words, music and British comedy.
Dilemma
The Path of least Resistance Leaves yield to the breeze A solitary white-faced heron Wades in the shallow pools Keen for opportunity Sea gulls hang about For left over fish ‘n’chips A harrier hawk Effortlessly sailing currents of air The stream carrying life Chattering water Unhurried Glides over and around rocks Towards it’s destination.

Abundance
As I sit here, facing the blank page again, I check in with myself,"What does the Universe want me to write about today?" I repeat my mantra, "Fill me with your love and light. Flow through meas I write." My eyes are drawn to the huge pear tree outside my officewindow, heavy laden with semi-ripe …

“You are a guest of nature. Behave.” Freidrich Hundertwasser Peel Forest, Canterbury, New Zealand. December 2022 I am part of nature And nature is part of me The same energy that grows my hair Grows trees The energy that makes birds sing And the oceans roar Is the same life force That I live …
The Sun is always Shining above the Clouds
New Brighton beach, Christchurch, New Zealand These words came to me when I was walking on the beach today, hoping to gain clarity and peace. A family situation has plunged myself and other family members into emotional turmoil. Walking on the beach may not change the situation but it can change my brain chemistry and …
CHRISTMAS……………………..
“Deck the halls with boughs of holly” Not everyone feels jolly. Christmas What does that word evoke for you? For me it’s a confusing time of year. Acutely aware of losses The absence of living parents Crumbling “happy families”. Disconnected from the Christmas’s of my youth Snow Long dark nights Tinsel and lights The chaos …
