Today, the river of life is warm.
My goodness.
It’s all the lovely things.

Wade me in the waters of sensuality,
sweet ocean of mine.
Show me the girl that I am.
Call to me the woman that rises
within.

The Brightest Angel
The brightest Angel
slides on her spectacles,
and smiles.
It’s the painting
of us
that she loves the most.
She soaks the brush tip once more:
crystal blue and white,
and she paints
until her miracle
is perfect.

Don’t tell the biscuits,
but it’s a sleepy tea
and a cupcake
kinda night.

The Sun Is Waiting
I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t stay.
I have plans to sit on the grass
and breathe.
The sun is waiting.
Yesterday
I cried for the train that left my sad eyes
at the station.
But yesterday wasn’t today.
Today
I understood why the train had to leave
without me.
It was so I would go in search
of my wings.
It was so I would remember
how nice it feels
to fly.
Today, I feel it all.
Life.
Rushing beneath my skin, burning in my bones.
It’s an ache, I feel.
A beautiful wind that moves through my body and clutches at the spaces all around me.
Life.
It’s an ache I’ve always sought to understand.
An ache I never will understand.
An ache.
A life.
A dream to be everything I am.
A longing to be nothing I am not.
I looked into the sky
and I said,
‘Sky.
It’s me.’
And then I realised
I had nothing more to say.
And that
actually
I was satisfied.
Satisfied,
and ready to give in
to the aching quiet of it all.

Peace
On the fourth day of Christmas my soul took me back to the river.
Same river.
Different tree.
The feeling was the same, though.
The feeling of the river washing all the sharp bits out of me.
Making me soft again.
Just like when it’s me and only me in the world.
Today, the river became me.
And I became the river.
And I now know why I was drawn back to this calm and sleepy place.
It was because I had something to learn.
I had to learn to recognise the feeling that takes hold of me when the river bubbles and the wind blows warm on my skin.
I had to give it a name.
It’s name is ‘peace’.
And I’ve come back to the river so that I might share this peace with you.

Ps. Go find a river. Listen to it. Feel it. Life is too short to let the rivers of this beautiful life pass us by.

Twelve Days of Christmas
Christmas has always been a special time of year, for me.
It’s a time that brings people together, a time that turns our worldly differences into love hearts and butterflies (and we all know how much this girl loves love hearts and butterflies.)
So, this year, I’ve decided to celebrate with the people who bring out the love hearts and butterflies in me: YOU GUYS. (Aww. Group hug. ALL the love hearts.)
I’d so dearly love you to share the next twelve days with me.
I have no idea what they’ll bring and, to be honest, that’s really the way I like to live this little life of mine. There’s something so wondrous about waiting for life to reveal itself, wouldn’t you say?
Week by week. Day by day.
Moment by moment.
So. Let’s do this.
Let’s share this life of ours for all the days leading up to that jolly day itself.
Christmas. (Or whatever it is that you celebrate. Love is love is love, am I right? )
My rough plan is: day one will start tomorrow and I’ll carry on bugging you once a day until the 24th of December (Australian time, sorry to those of you overseas.)
Anyway— sigh.
Let’s do this.
It’ll be so super jolly, we won’t have any room left in our sparkly, love filled hearts.
See you all again, soon!
xx Brooke
