Walk in beauty

I saw an angel today...

He was fat and without teeth, spoke Cockney and had a dog called Prince

He said to me: Whatever I choose to do it will come, My dream will come true but I need patience...He said all this in beautiful words which rhymed like a song or a poem, he spoke and touched my arm gently then he said goodbye and crossed the road and when I looked back he was gone, just vanished!
A true story, and I was with three children, not on my own!


I smiled to myself and walked and walked, and walked. I smiled and I felt warm. I looked around me and saw beauty everywhere...even if I was above the  motorway just before the Royal Standard....

And the children I am with each day teach me to see beauty everywhere and in everything.

The weeds by the side of an old wall... the sky above us on a windy day...

Today the Moon and the Stars where telling us something, there has been a lot of stirring lately...some people who cannot cope with this get irritable, tired, grumpy, even violent...other get very sleepy...the Universe asks us to stop and look, and rest...if we listen to it, we listen to ourselves to and respect our natural rhythm...if we don't we go out of synch and things can feel too much....

have you also experienced something similar today?



Now: some songs for ring time with children



Now I walk in beauty


Beauty is before me,

Beauty is behind me,

Above and below me. (repeat)

Over the rainbow trail I go - On toes to 8 counts of drumbeat

Hither I wander, thither I wander -Drum and step deeply on hither, wither

Over the beautiful trial I go. - 8 counts on toes to drumbeat

(repeat)

Mother Earth's children rise in the morn

Mother Earth's children gather corn.

Dance to the wind, dance to the rain,

Dance to the Earth who gives us grain.

Mother Earth's children put feathers in their hair

Mother Earth's children string beans to wear.

Dance to the wind, dance to the rain,

Dance to the Earth who gives us grain.

Mother Earth's children walk softly as the deer,

To the hearth with the golden ear.

Dance to the wind, dance to the rain,

Dance to the Earth who gives us grain.

A little fire they will make

Bread of golden corn they'll bake.

Dance to the wind, dance to the rain,

Dance to the Earth who gives us grain.

Bread of golden corn they'll eat

Then Mother Earth's children fall fast asleep.

(humming softly) Dance to the wind, dance to the rain,

Dance to the Earth who gives us grain.

(Repeat 'Over the Rainbow Trail I go

Hither I wander, thither I wander

Over the beautiful trail I go.” between all songs

and verses, same movements, no drumming.)

My paddle's keen and bright,

Flashing like silver.

Follow the wild goose flight,

Dip, dip and swing.

Dip, dip and swing it back, flashing like silver.

Follow the wild goose flight, dip, dip and swing.

Land of the silver birch,

Home of the beaver.

Wood where the mighty moose,

Wanders at will.

Green lakes and rocky shore,

I will return once more.

Follow the wild goose flight,

Dip, dip and swing.

Dip, dip and swing it back, flashing like silver,

Follow the wild goose flight, dip, dip and swing.

(Repeat verse.)

May we all fly like eagles

Flying so-o high

Circling the Universe

On wings of pure light

o witchi ti ti

Witchi ti o oh

o witchi ti ti

Witchi ti i oh

Witchi ti i oh

Witchi ti i o oh hoh

(Repeat verse.)

Mother Earth to you we're singing,

Listen to our song.

Thanks for golden harvest bringing,

Listen as we sing to you,

Sing to you, sing to you,

Songs of rain and sunshine.

On the trail where we are going

Ever will we sing.

When the winter comes with snowing

Still our hearts will sing to you,

Sing to you, sing to you,

Songs of rain and sunshine.

(Repeat verse.)

The moon on the one hand,

The sun on the other,

The moon is my sister,

The sun is my brother.

The moon on my left,

The sun on my right,

My brother “Good morning”,

My sister “Good night”.
