Dear friends,

I am back from my 6 weeks in Nepal. It was an amazing experience. I stayed in a Tibetan Monastery for 5 weeks on retreat. I volunteered for a short time in a Tibetan Nunnery, I visited a Tibetan refugee camp at Hengja on the outskirts of Pokhara and I met amazingly beautiful people.

I will get around to sharing my story; slowly but surely. In the meantime, I have posted my pictures at the following links (if anyone wants to see them).... I took nearly 3000 photographs, so I haven't uploaded a fraction of them yet.

I'll keep you posted as and when I do...

Please show your solidarity in lighting a candle for Tibet with me, so we may show we have a heart. Living as we do, we often forget that freedom is relative and a precious commodity. It's something we take for granted. Yet, there are so many who would give anything to have even a small taste of it. Oppression has reigned for too long. We can't change the world but uniting one at a time, we can definitely make a difference.

Thank you hugs to you all

Cari amici, per favore unitevi a me accendendo una candela per il Tibet. Dimostriamo che abbiamo un cuore. Vivendo come viviamo, spesso dimentichiamo che la libertà è relativa ed e anche una commodità molto preziosa. Noi lo diamo per scontato ma ci sono tanti nel mondo che darebberò qualsiasi cosa per averne un pocchino. L'oppressione esiste da troppo tempo. Purtroppo, non possiamo cambiare il mondo ma unendoci (uno alla volta) possiamo marcare le traccie per un futuro differente.

Grazie e abrraccioni grandi e forti

Caros Amigos, como bem sabem, não sei escrever muito bem em Português mas vou tentar. Juntam-se comigo em acender uma vela para o Tibet para mostrar que temos um coraçao. No dia a dia, esqueçemos que a liberdade é relativo e muito preçiosa. Para nós é uma coisa descontada mas há muitas pessoas que fariam a qualquer para o saborar. À oppressão esiste há demasiado tempo. Infelizmente, não podemos mudar o mundo mas se juntamos um ao outro poderiamos começar a marcar uma diferença.

Obrigada e muitos abraços

I am the Candle Flame


I am the candle flame for Tibet on high
My country stolen mountains in the sky
Valleys weep your clouds float on by
Freedom taken from me that’s why I cry
Oh mountain trails how I miss your track
My flame burns bright I want you back
Within my soul I yearn my eyes wet
Tibet you were my life ill not forget
Why did you come take my home away?
Even then you didn’t ask I had no say
You stole my heart my spirit all I had
Now here I burn my flame bright but sad
What did I do I ask the question why
For I grow weary to see my land for I die
Here I stand you smile look down on me
Ill fight for you till my death to set you free
So many years i've suffered silent in pain
How I yearn to touch your gentle soil again
To climb to yonder mountain peek above
Once more my spirit to feel of your love

Vigil

Where are you now,
with your palms together,
bowing,
your dark red robes
wrapping the wisdom
of a thousand years,
white knife peaks,
and over six thousand
monasteries?

Your home not your home
and yet your home always,
you wander,
you meditate,
you chant and pray;
you teach, you love,
or you stay
and must keep quiet.

Yet prayer flags still blow
in high Tibetan air,
prayer flags still blow
in the deep dark-eyed hearts
of your people.
There are places
the intruders,
the violators
cannot reach–
places alive with
the smiles and tears
of your lost land.

Red robed ones
with your calm eyes
upon the world,
you who pay homage
to the consciousness
in all things,
you who see far beyond
appearances:
you know past time,
you love past duality,
and yet you cry too.

The mountains of Tibet,
the vast plateaus and
green valleys,
the sky lakes and blue rivers,
the sons and daughters
of this sacred land
know and wait for you,
and for their time
within space and beyond
to be free.
