Welcoming 2011 ~ Dragonfly Magic

Silver Winged Dragonfly on the Roseville Lake

Celebrating the dawning of 2011 ~ With her light and love.

At the beginning of a 'New Year' I love to reflect upon all it has taken for me to arrive here/now ~ And to be open to seeing where my life’s patterns have been leading me.

I have always loved being in areas that people generally tend to feel are 'Special Places' ~ Be they designated as ‘Sacred’ or just beautiful land/ocean/city-scapes ~ And as much as possible, I love to see and connect to all the life forms within those environments ~ Trees, grasses, flowers, rocks, animals, birds, insects (Taking care around spiders, snakes, and sting rays of course.)

I’ve never actually journeyed to any of  our planet's renowned ‘Sacred Sites’ ~ Although my entire being still yearns to stand barefoot on the earth, in the ‘Valley of the Winds’ in the middle of Kata Tjuta (Previously known as The Olgas) in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park of the Northern Territory of Australia.

And I’d LOVE to see and experience the indigenous rock art caves in the Kimberley, top end of Australia (That very few people know exist.) As I'd also love to stand barefoot in the middle of the Lake Mungo Desert Sand Dunes and Lunettes.

But for now I LOVE walking barefoot over the Roseville Golf Course nearly every morning at dawn ~ To capture images of the lake, wild grasses, wild ducks and dragonflies: A new community of Silver Winged Dragonflies was birthed on the Lake ~ Just in time to celebrate the dawning of 2011 ~ With their light and love.

For me now ~ And it’s not just something that I’m only beginning to feel as we enter 2011 ~ ALL places on our ‘Sacred Planet’ are unique, special and sacred ~ And our value of Place becomes even more alive within us ~ When we activate our Inner Sacredness.

And as we all activate our unique Inner Sacred Space we will come to know the sense of Universal Place ~ United ~ In ONEness.

Happy NEW Year
