Aww this is so nice and a lovely reminder to take time out and rest just as nature shows us🩵

Mouse came home from a very busy Monday with her whiskers all frazzled and her tail in a twist. She said to herself, very firmly indeed:

“First I shall write a poem, then I shall make tea, then I shall read my book, and then, and only then, shall I rest.”

But you know what happened. She poured the tea, she fetched the notebook, she opened the book — and she curled up just so in her chair by the fire. Her eyes went blink-blink-blink… shut.

Zzzzzzz!

And away she floated into a dream.

Her patchwork blanket rose like a puff of wind, and up, up it carried her until she was floating over The Glen and the village beyond. Below, the hedges were bursting with blackberries, apples gleamed like golden balls in the trees, and mushrooms popped their little heads up as if they had something terribly important to say.

Then the wind stopped, and Mouse heard a voice — the voice of Autumn herself.

“Little Mouse,” said Autumn, “Do you see, little one? Today the scales rest even. Half light, half dark. Half fruit, half thorn. Half full, half empty. Not a quarrel, but a balance — for both together make the whole.”

Mouse wiggled her whiskers. “So even the long dark cold days have their place?”

“Of course,” said Autumn, with a laugh like falling leaves. “Seeds sleep in the soil, just as hearts find rest in silence. Think of it as Sabbath, or as stillness under the Bodhi tree. The dark is not the end — it is the root of beginning.”

And with that, Autumn sent a scatter of apples rolling, and sloes twinkling purple, and damsons falling into the grass — as if to say: Notice, little one, the gifts all around you.

Mouse wriggled deeper into her blanket. “Then I shall stop worrying about all the things I did not do today,” she murmured. “For resting is also a prayer. Dreaming is also a poem.”

And Autumn whispered back, “Yes, just so.”

And so, on this Autumn Equinox, I give thanks — to those who are new to The Glen, welcome, and to those who have walked these paths with me for many seasons, my heartfelt gratitude. Tonight the light and dark stand in balance, just as we gather here in friendship.

These little stories, written and illustrated for you by me, Victoria Beata, are my way of sending a candle into the dusk. May you carry a little of this warmth into your evening, and may you return tomorrow, when another tale will be waiting for you. 🌿✨🍎 Until tomorrow... sweet dreams.

THE LIONS GATE PORTAL AND AN AQUARIUS FULL MOON!!
Today is a very special day and as someone who is sensitive to energy you may be feeling this very special high frequency energy.

Every year on the 8th August, something extraordinary occurs in the cosmos. A rare alignment between the Earth, our Sun and the star Sirius creates what ancient wisdom keepers called "The Lions Gate Portal." It is activated by the rising of the star Sirius, which takes place from the end of July all through to the middle of August, however the numerology of 8/8, and the Sun reaching the halfway point or 15 degrees of the Leo zodiac at this time means that the gateway is at its peak today pouring a profound influx of crystalline light towards Earth. Also, to make today's energy even more powerful, it is also an Aquarian Full Moon too!

The Lion’s Gate 88 Portal is the opening of a galactic gate that delivers high-frequency energy into our beings, allowing us to rebirth our spirit energy and the spirit energy of Mother Earth. This high-frequency energy can activate dormant DNA, awaken our energy field and open our energy centres, inspire new ideas, raising our consciousness and enhance our ability to receive psychic downloads as well as transmit high-vibrational frequencies directly into our consciousness.

The Lions Gate Portal isn't just a mystical theory - the star Sirius is twice the size of our Sun and 26 times brighter, radiating powerful frequencies of divine intelligence and soul awakening.

Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky and is known as our Spiritual Sun. While our earthly Sun illuminates our physical world, our Spiritual Sun illuminates the truth of our timeless soul. The ancients were very in tune with the star Sirius, as they believed it was the gateway to heaven and the home of higher vibrational beings. They believed the energy of Sirius beamed down life for our spiritual bodies and carried highly advanced wisdom that we could tap into and utilise whenever Sirius was strong in the sky. This is why the opening of the Lionsgate Portal can bring awakenings and lift our consciousness to new heights.
88 in numerology represents infinity and DNA activation, allowing us to take this Sirius energy and infuse it into the very core of our being. We can also unlock and upgrade the memory of our cells allowing us to bring more healing, peace and love into our being.

The energy of Lion’s Gate can connect us with the cosmic skies, galactic frequencies, higher dimensional beings, and our own intuition. It can also activate heart healings, expand our spiritual wisdom and help us awaken to our true potential.

This August Full Moon has a powerful Goddess energy and coupled with the unique spark and spirit of Aquarius, it will make this a healing one. We will be called to raise our vibration, relieve ourselves of any heavy weight and step into our feminine wisdom.

So, maybe take the opportunity today and over the weekend to enjoy this amazing energy and also perhaps to celebrate the rebirth and return of your spirit energy. You can use the Lion’s Gate Portal to set an intention of how you wish to use this energy and then create a ritual or practice that allows you to harness and work with it. Maybe call back all the pieces of your spirit that you feel have been lost or hidden and use the portal to rebirth your energy and feel good inside your body.

I suggest that you sit and meditate with the energy but how you use it is up to you, so use your intuition when working with the energy and try not to feed any negative thoughts.

Remember, your energy is sacred. As you move through your day, practice the art of observing without taking on what’s around you. Notice the emotions and thoughts of others but don’t let them become your own burden. Guard your peace with love and stay grounded in your centre. You don’t need to carry what isn’t yours. Your purpose is to move with compassion, without getting swept up in the chaos. Stay aligned with your light and keep your energy your own.🌟🌀💫

I've just been reading in an email from Mindvalley about the proposed International Flag of Planet Earth designed by Oskar Pernefeldt and as most people have never seen this flag, I'm sure Vishen won't mind me sharing his info together with some more of my own ...

The International Flag of Planet Earth - A Flag That Belongs to All of Us

It has no national colours.
No borders.
No allegiance to politics or ideology.

The Earth Flag is more than a design, it’s a symbol.
It has seven white interlocking circles forming a flower on a deep blue field — symbolising the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. The blue field represents water which is essential for life – also as the oceans cover most of our planet's surface. The flower's outer rings form a circle which could be seen as a symbol of Earth as a planet and the blue surface could represent the universe.

A reminder that we are not just citizens of countries… We are Earthlings.

Swedish designer Oskar Pernefeldt created the Earth Flag as part of his graduation project where the question was simple — and profound:
“If humanity ever had to represent itself in space… what flag would we fly?”
Oskar went back to 1969 — to the moon landing.
“It was a moment for all of humanity,” he said.
“And yet, we planted just one nation’s flag.”

He reminded us: the astronaut was American, but the achievement was global:
The rocket design? German engineers.
The optics? Swiss.
The maths? Indian.
The cosmology that made it possible? Italian.
It wasn’t just an American milestone.
It was a human one.

So he designed a flag for the species.
As we know with Reiki, symbols bypass the intellect and speak straight to the soul.
They’re identity made visible.
They bind people into belonging.
They remind us who we are — and who we care about.

The Earth Flag does exactly that.
It’s not a protest.
It’s not a brand.
It’s a reminder that you are part of something bigger.

“When astronauts view Earth from space, something profound happens. They describe a sudden shift in perspective — a life-altering realisation that borders are imaginary and that all life is fragile, connected and shared.
It’s called the Overview Effect.”
The Earth Flag brings that cosmic perspective down to Earth.

“Behind this flag, there is no religion. No ideology.
Just a visual representation of Earth.
But in that simplicity… it holds everything.”
“If you believe Earth should have a flag — just fly it.”
You don’t need permission.
You don’t need an institution.
You just need to care.

Fly it at events.
Hang it in your home.
Wear it on Earth Day.
Print it on your wall.
Or simply let it quietly live in your heart.

Because every time this flag is seen, flown, or shared…
It becomes a reminder:
You’re not just from a country.
You’re from Earth🌍

This is not a time for more division.
It’s a time for symbols that unite.
The Earth Flag doesn’t ask for loyalty, it invites belonging.
It doesn’t cancel your identity, it expands it.
So let it fly.
Not because you’re being political…
But because you're being human.

Because borders are imaginary.
But Earth?
She’s beautifully, urgently real.
And she needs you.
