just because

'because there was a hunger in me to see everything and do everything. i wanted to be everything i saw. i wasnt enough for me.'

moon light, vagabond spirit tonight.

as gypsy folks we tend to move on when goings get tough, but what do we do when we simply cant move on?

we can either chose to move on as in place to place.

or emotionally, within our being, staying in that same place.

we would like to think that we can catch air in the summer breeze and fly our way to a new beginning.

we must remember that we can move on within our mind and soul, without having to fly away to start afresh.

i understand everyone needs a change sometimes, yet can we learn to do this within our selves?

working in a hostel i constantly see the vagabond spirit coming in and out of the doors everyday.

sometimes this is hard seeing one you become close to leave, yet mostly i am ecstatic that they are freely following their dreams.

and i to know that one day once my wings have fully developed i will be flying like they are.

it is just within time and growth i will be in the air.

but for know i do not spare for i am content watching them grow, smiling often that one day that will be me.

for now i will continue to pack up my old case and travel within my limits, like a gypsy yet only moving at a slower pace.

its raining here on earth

first day of summer today, yet the rain has made its way to earth.

theres a freshness about it though cleansing the day before the sun will show its presence.

i watched kids play in puddles today barefoot, jumping about anxiously, squealing experiencing the joy of rain.

i looked around and wondered if anyone would mind if i joined in.

i wish i had of now, i will next time.

i wish for a a daisy chain & a lover.

she knew...

'Somehow she knew that you didn’t get many moments like this in your life: moments when you knew, without any doubt, that you were alive, when you felt the air in your lungs and the wet grass beneath your feet and the cotton on your skin; moments when you were completely in the present, when neither the past nor the future mattered.'

-Neil Gaiman

where does the love go?

love comes and goes like he knows what he wants to do

its here, then its there, doesnt really seem to care if im in or out with you

were lovers today,

then it changes in the blink of an eye

and I would stand here forever

if I believed I could ever feel the same way again in time

where does the love go?

where does the love go? go, go?

love comes and goes like he's got somewhere else he needs to be
and he rushes out the door before I get a chance to ask love why he wants to leave
you're standing over there with my father,
on the wrong side of the room
and something inside me dies, and I wish I could feel the way I used to,
but I dont.

love comes and goes like hes got another home away from me
got a spare set of keys and a house on the beach,
i know, i know
well love he gets tired and he decides to run away,

run away, run away
leaves me standing here with your broken heart
what can I say, what can I say, but where does the love go?


where does the love go?

Julia Stones new album is utterly and compleatly lustful!

Love & Peace.

let the breeze carry you away

" Life: it loves the young

The spring is short and summer brings hotter days for sleeping through.

Open your windows wide, the breeze carries the sea- it lives for you, now

Break off a piece of chocolate and hold it in your mouth.

Laugh when the wind catches at your dress- it only wants to play.

Life lives for the young.

So live... "

spent the day dreaming

'Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face - I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.' 'I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wonering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn't. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.'
'And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever.'
'Noah: "You wanna dance with me?"
Allie: "Sure. Now?"
Noah: "Mmm Hmm"
Allie: "You're not supposed to dance in the street."
Noah: "You are supposed to dance in the street."
Allie: "Yeah, but we don't have any music."
Noah: "Well, we'll make some... Bum bum bum bum bum bum..."
Allie: "You're a terrible singer."
Noah: "I know."
Allie: "And I like this song.'

'I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.'
'You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.'

'And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love.'

All quotes by Nicholas Sparks.

'You are, and always have been, my dream.'

sinking into mother nature

‎'there is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir, we must rise and follow her; when from every hill of flame, she calls and calls each vagabond by name'

~william bliss

'it is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the gypsy.'

~franz liszt

'we are all wanderers on this earth. our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams.'

~gypsy proverb.

living on a rainbow

I can feel your heart beat,

When Im all alone. I can feel your heart beat like its my own.

I can hear your music from a million miles away.

The angels got right when they made you that way.

Sometimes I wonder if youre made from bones and skin

Or are you something for me to begin again, again.

This love, this love, this love

I will build you a mountain,

So you can see.

All the away across the universe to me.

I will build you shelter for when the days are cold.

I will be your shelter for when were old and kind.

This love, this love.

Lyrics A&J 'This Love'

barefoot in the sunshine

'i crossed the road to walk in the sunshine'

ok so i finished, complete! a walking, talking, human...emerged from the great depths of a life i have known for 13 years. now finally free and able to walk in my own light completely.

some felt sadness and a pang of emptiness...though i felt refreshed and alive!

now i wait to plunge myself into a new ocean, experience the ups and downs that follow, but ride smoothly along the waves occasionally resurfacing looking around and dunking my head back down into the big blue.

i will stop and swim to the shore, tread lightly on the sand and feel it pulsate through my toes...smile and continue on. like any being on a journey.

a whisper

'Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.'

~Elizabeth Gilbert Eat, Pray, Love

Ok so what's the speed of dark?

It was the love of love, the love that swallows up all else, a grateful love,a love of nature, of people, of animals, a love engendering gentleness and goodness that moved me and that I saw in you.
William Carlos Williams

I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wake-up letter.

Steven Wright

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days-three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain. John Keats

Don't look for what we know
The unfamiliar is right below our eyes.

I could fall in love with you if i let myself.

Wonder if I've been changed in the night?Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning?
But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?'Ah, that's the great puzzle!

Alice in Wonderland


You know that place between sleep and awake where you're still dreaming?

At first a small line of inconceivable splendour emerged on the horizon, which, quickly expanding, the sun appeared in all of his glory, unveiling the whole face of nature, vivifying every color of the landscape, and sprinkling the dewy earth with glittering light. Ann Radcliffe


Just leave me your stardust to remember you by...

To approach the stranger is to invite the unexpected, release a new force, let the genie out of the bottle. It is to start a new train of events that is beyond your control.

Sometimes you have to do stuff that average people dont understand...becasue these are the only good things. Andy Warhol

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. Rumi

do you see, what i see...

With Spring upon us, the days getting lighter, sun rays beaming brighter and a fresh new feel.

Lets celebrate...full of life!

with a chance of rain

'she acts like summer, and walks like rain'

Basics for the Heart

i have made a list of all the things a girl should have in her day, its not complicated or extravagant, its simple, basic and kind to the heart.

firstly a glorious day, one that beams down upon this earth and brightens any day!

a smile,a friend,a laugh, one that starts from inside that makes your whole body buzz,

to find peace within herself, knowing all is well in her world,

to do something that makes her heart rage,

that makes her feel infinite,

to glow,.. really glow all the way from the inside,

to express herself,

to have something to look forward to,

to fall in love with a stranger,

to go nowhere to get somewhere,

to hum quietly,

to love and be loved,

to imagine, explore, dance, sing and play all in a day,

to walk, rest and feel alive,

and the sweet and gentle reminder that each day has a fresh beginning and each flower blossoms,each star shines, each ray of sunlight beams and each rain drop falls, no mater what,
