Nature Sings Love

Nature has a song
that flows with energy.

It sings endlessly
constantly, quietly.

A delicate forest sings
dabbled in purest light.

Oceans dance in moonlight,
while tranquil life evolves.

Heaven vibrates tunes
with pure sparkling beauty.

Blissfully intense rainbows
of coloured grace abound.

Behold nature’s beauty,
For nature sings love songs.

Poetry Ebook

2008-10-23T23:31:00.003+08:00

After yet another few busy months I am now working on more ebooks.

Soon to be released will be a collection of my Poetry. I'm currently illustrating each poem.
If you love being inspired by nature here is a sample for you to look forward to:

I have also started creating my next Children's ebook "On Dad's Shoulder's" written by a local writer Simon Mcinnes; also a poem. I'm finding it challenging to begin but I have a plan for it's design and will begin illustrating next week after a manuscript page split.

I have had some work accepted at AuthenticTimes.com if you'd like to take a sneak peak.
Rain Fordyce created this site for creative women over 30... so go be inspired! I know I have and am very grateful for Rain's enthusiasm for my creative writing and work.

I have judged a local children's writing competition with the local writer's group. I challenged them to creatively rewrite a Nursery Rhyme. The winning entry was so clever and well written I offered the writer a free illustration voucher with my newly illustrated ebook. I would love to publish it on kids-ebooks.com if they are interested.

I have challenged my self to write and illustrate my own children's ebook this year. I'm looking at starting with an original children's manuscript I had published online last year at clubweb.com.

Time to dust of the cobwebs and dip my paint brush into life again.
Will leave you with a lovely quote for the day. It sumed up my week and inspired me to get artistic again:

"Art washes away from the soul, the dust of everyday life" (unknown author)

Wishing all a very Merry Christmas and inspiring New Year in 2008!

"As I wake to the sound of calls,

the morning sky blazes blue.

Birds songs echo around,

drifting through the gums.

A gentle breeze stirs their leaves,

the branches sway in harmony.

Good morning earth I hear you,

thank you for another day.

My heart is filled with love,

a joy to bless my soul."

Unique Wilderness Experience

2007-11-11T11:02:00.000+09:00

Exert from Experiences in "The Dry" Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory 2007

“I’d been climbing for hours, stepping higher and deeper than I’d ever dared venture before. Sweat trickled down my face as the searing heat of the sun beat down on my neck. I paused for a moment as I approached the cool canopy of tangled wild fig roots clinging to the jaggered bare rocks. As I looked around in silence I was calmed by the beautiful spirit I felt. I wiped my brow and breathed in the sweet cleansed air. I took a quenching drink from my water bottle and melted into this unique wilderness country.” By Fiona Jarvis

Reflecting on Joyful Affirmations for Life

2007-11-01T23:32:00.000+09:00

"After a sad week of losing another elderly member of our family in the last 6 months I have been reflecting on my grief, my families grief and the path of my life. I think losing a close loved one has really made me realise more than ever what I'm wanting in my life. I know I want to follow my passion of becoming a successful Australian Landscape artist. I have my sights set on an adventure around Australia with the vision to make this a reality. After a tough week of looking deeply inside my soul I realise I am that now... I don't even have to travel yet to have it all at my feet, I only need the courage to take the step to become the true me."

Affirmations to live by found at www.affirmations.com.au

JOY ~ When you do things from your soul you feel a river moving in you.

LOVE ~ There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

COURAGE ~ A thousand mile journey begins with ONE step.

HAPPINESS ~ Something to do, someone to love and something to hope for.

DESIRE ~ Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you truly love.

MYSTERY ~ The journey of life is so beautiful that it needs no destination.

Enjoy Life in Happiness ~ F.L.J.

Poem Inspired by Nature

Tranquil Beauty

Seasonal rains carve,
Harsh blazed formations.

Ancient coloured ochre,
Jaggered burning scarp.

Beneath cascading droplets,
Delicate foliage clings.

Millennium swirling floods,
Smooths tumbled rocks.

Rippled fossil tide,
Silently lies beneath.

Crystal clear pools,
Life abundantly inhabits.

Tranquil drifting streams,
Grace tangled forests.

Unique beautiful aura,
Overwhelms drenched senses.

Eternal Kakadu paradise,
Restores inner peace.
