Time will take you from me
by: Kathy Sullens


I grew with your heartbeat, inside and out
"My world" is not big enough to describe you, Love
I still hear your cry as it synced up with mine
Now my heart walks outside of my body

Old souls meet again, different from before
I saw you standing in rhythm that danced with my dreams
A lifetime we were given once more
I'll hold you forever in the depths of my being 

You were a wish long before we crossed paths
Our journey already written deep in your eyes
Patience is the virtue that leads you to peace
I'll swim with you on the waves of time

Time has brought us here.
Time will take you from me






Godspeed

How doth a heart shatter into pieces numbered in the millions?
And how doth it grow again?
This conundrum of love.
The irony.
Must it surely cause such pain?
And what is happiness?
Roses and fields of lavenders?
Stones thrown at glass bottles in the rain?
Breaking down the walls of loneliness,
Just to build them up... again?
My darling...my soul...seeking questions to answers I already know!
Wrest me from these darkest of places!
Hide from me the horrible faces!
The lies falling from lips dripping with blood,
Thine enemies and loyals drowning in its floods,
Of iniquitous synchronicity!
Of words meaning naught but to empty me!
Where art thou, my black knight, to save me?
Rush from Netherland's badlands to crave me!
Doth my heart bleed your tears for naught?
Doth mine eyes cry for only what I've saught?
Simply a pawn in seduction's battle?
No more than a simpleton's mindless prattle?
A maid servant just to thine hand!
I beg of thee that I should understand!
Where is thy gentle hand to caress my skin?
Where hast thou gone and when willst thee return again?
Shall I impale my heart severely now upon this blade?
Willst thee be my knight?
Or willst thee be my knave?
Make haste, my love! 
Godspeed my King
And bring the favour that I gave!

Welcome everyone! We have some exciting plans for this newsletter and we hope you all stick around to see them. You can find a directory of local businesses/artists/craftsmen/etc by clicking on the three little lines in the top left of the main blog page. There seems to be an issue with the links working at the moment but I hope to have that sorted out as soon as possible. If you would like your business/contact/website info added to this directory, please send us an email (I will add it at the bottom of this post).  Near the end of the weekend, we hope to have our first full PDF issue posted with monthly issues to follow. In the meantime, please take a look at the blog for a sneak-peek of what you can expect.  I plan on making weekly posts available right here on the blog page so please make sure to hit that subscribe button at the top so you don't miss anything.  Everyone working on this project hopes for it to continue to be a community project.

How Our Ancestors Did It : by Lady Alia

Here, in this modern day of technology, I find myself taking a look back. I’d like to share with you how long ago, before the age of modern medicine, others lived through devastating plagues and illnesses… I will be going over old remedies, recipes and herbs; sharing with you ways our ancestors combated illness and healed themselves in times like these. Nostradamus treated the plague in an enlightened manner for a man of such a dark age. He encouraged hygiene ( clean water), fresh air and sun light. He was also known for his invention of the “rose pill,” which was derived from roses (vitamin C) to provide protection from the plague.  Nostradamus wrote many books , in one is a recipe for one of his remedies; "take one ounce of the sawdust or shavings of cypress-wood, as green as you can find, six ounces of Florentine violet-root, three ounces of cloves, three drams of sweet calamus, and six drams of aloes-wood. Reduce the whole to powder before it spoils." Ne
