Riverwytchedreaming- my ramblings….

This is a blog to do with my ramblings in nature, particularly by the river, my writings, and Tarot.

During the last few weeks, here in Western Australia, the weather has been humid, hot, severe wind flow, and now we have rain, lovely rain – but it is still humid. The weather conditions here have changed over the years. When I first came here over 15 years ago, it was hot certainly but not humid. Blame it on ‘global warning’ However upon being down the rver in the early hours of the morning this is what happened.

Above the stars were dancing but could not be seen by mortal eyes struggling with the hot air, succumbing to the breezes, brought in by the silent river, flowing quietly to the sea where long haired mermaids fan themselves upon huge rocks; they too await the change.

An owl hooted, a kookaburra laughed - then the silence was deafening, as our feet trip tropped upon the  faded grasses green as small folks created paths for us to follow. 

What thoughts does one inhabit when faced by the mysteries old as the leaves in the trees rustle fanned by the breeze that swells and inflates. They too have long been a ‘bed cooling down awaiting the early light, where once again as the sun will rise full across the river, it claims its right to be supreme, As we walk this early morning, in the distance thunder rolls across the heavens and then the clouds fill letting fall drops of rain that as they intensify shoot their arrows upon the face of the river and dance upon the dusty leaves embracing them and in soft voices whisper ‘It is time to let go for Autumn wears its new coat.’

The signal has been given for a new adventure to begin as leaves allow themselves to gently fall forming coloured carpets beneath the Gum Trees. We stand, two figures and a dog awaiting the rivers cauldron’s to inflate and define the twists into being with torturous rapt the destinies of man that did spin from ages past as they become answerable to their Fate.

We cannot escape Fate as the darkness within is always there but above us the sun smiles indicating a new day and gives one the opportunity to bask in its rays and send to bed the darkness of the night.
