i carry your heart with me

an ~Angels song~

for Barry ...and Renee



The Little Blue Yabby:

i stopped as a little blue yabby crossed my path in the lane~way today and as i watched him for a while and noted his slow careful progress i wondered to myself just why he was choosing MY path on this day? After a small time i decided to carefully transport him on the back of a small fallen tree bough from one side of the path to the other where it was damper and there was more vegetation to disappear into... Somewhere i thought where he'd be safer from things more destructive...

"Crayfish is a creature that speaks loudly of protectiveness. according to Scott Alexander King ...
Legend says that Crayfish helped spirit in the re-creation of Mother Earth
by carrying mud up from the waters of the Great Flood in Biblical times..."
Scott goes on to say that Yabby warns us that " we must thwart fear and doubt from retarding our progress and build a symbolic outer shell that protects us from these tendencies."

And so the tiny Blue Yabby gets me thinking and reflecting about my ~first born~ and my role in her changing and making decisions about ~her life~ and my thoughts wander to that of my protectiveness and role as her mother to guide her but then set her free...

Then i get thinking upon dangers and trials
and journeys and hard-times and hills
and Barry and Renee
and me...

But then i think on
The Little Blue Yabby again
...and re-creating ourselves
from ~muddy waters~
