The Bird Whisperer

thank you Patricia Anne – so glad you like this :)

thank you so much mimi :) x

she is a healer, i’m so happy you can hear her voice….she’s very quiet, the words aren’t so much spoken, but I’m glad the message comes thru….i can’t find the right words either….but this came from my soul :) x thank you beautiful flower :) x

yes, Cate…the bird is safe now, in the hands of the healer…..the one who whispers quietly divine words of solitude and comfort…..it’s amazing how the mind and body are connected…..when healing begins in the mind, the body will follow….it’s a complex connection….i think she speaks of peace for the wounded, not only the physical, but the mental scarring that comes from battles fought and sometimes lost…..but to win is to know one’s own heart and mind and spirit and to be sure of what we hope for….we don’t have to have all the answers, just the knowledge that we are living right and true to ourselves and if we acknowledge a Maker, then to him also xxxxx

thank you so much bev, i’m working on faces as much as possible, there was a time when, i only ever placed ‘dots’ for eyes…...and had no noses or mouths…it’s been challenging and enjoyable to push beyond these self imposed limitations and i often now find myself observing people’s faces out in public and tracing invisible lines over their features to help remember the contours… :) x

thanx so much ychty ;)

Rosalie, thank you so very much ;) x

...ah yes, she is Janis very serious indeed, and you are right dedication is hard…but it is her life’s work and nothing less would do :) Tired but satisfied, sad but fulfilled, knowing she is doing what she knows to be right….if only we all knew exactly what was the right thing to do on every occasion, in every situation….but even knowing, it’s not always easy….thank you for taking time with these, to dwell on them, and sit with each one a while, it means a great deal to me Janis :) x

thank you jan, the connection is in a way the real message i think, there is truly for some, healing when experiencing nature, particular for those that enjoy a deep connection with it…..there is so much sadness at the moment, you are right….. i love how you put it…. maybe for the world in which we live where not everyone honors life the way her heart does that is so incredible to me ;) xxx

Hi Chris, thank you so much ;) ........and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
yes, a touch of sadness co-exists with that inner peace….what peace it is to know what your purpose is in this life :)..... but sometimes life can still be sad, even with the knowing ;) x

Thank you Paul, your comments mean a lot to me :)

dear Jak…thank you so much my friend ;) xx

it’s alright Janis
Ive been down lately, and so has another of my friends
This is I guess my attempt to put that into something positive and gain/shed some perspective on that. As friends, we want to be there
For each other when the other one is injured I’d wounded or sad, and
I’d can make us feel sad to see them suffering… I think I put it into pictures better than words and it’s new to me, letting my emotions influence my work… It will all work out I’m sure :)

in many ways she is the person I wish to be
In my romantic notion of what friendship us
That could somehow bless and heal my friends
Pain and even my own, through tenderness, understanding,
Love and nurture….. Whilst acknowledging how ones connection
To nature can be a powerful healing tool also…
She feels sad fir the little bird in her care, both know pain
And long for healing, here they connect on their journey and
That connection in itself is a source of healing and wellness.
Glomps!!!!! Xxxx
