This week is tough - and glorious!

Following three days of being laid out by extreme back pain, the fresh cool winds and glaring sunshine bring me back to my senses: life is miraculous here on our #sovereignhomestead with my beloved @vincentnijman - especially when it is hard-worked-for!

As Vincent wrote last night small beautiful moments make up the most fabric of our blessed days here. Even hobbling and slipping on the wet grass down to the woods for morning ablutions, there is always something stunning to discover anew.

The sacred geometry, the colourful brilliance and the blasé of the gorgeous things that we uncover on our walks - like the unexpected fruit trees lost in the woods, a couple of days ago! - is as near a living Eden as can be imagined in this crazy theatre of per-verse-ion, and we are working with it wholeheartedly - and rejecting the bread and circuses being doled out via mainstream.

This week, alongside excrutiating inflammation and searing pain however I moved, I was given the Great Gift of insight around the True(r) Nature Of Our Reality, through our discourse in The Sovereignty Academy's Blessings Of Liberti. Collectively held and lovingly guided, to recognise where we are blocking ourselves from Heaven On Earth right now.

If it were so easy to explain the 'unblocking of Eden', we'd all be much further alomg the way towards it, eh.... But is it not true that we have paradise all around us - chirping and wafting through the tall soaked grasses, lighting up the woodlands with fantastical displays of majesty? Are the clues not obvious? Or has the evidence been blurred, behind the extensive tarmacadam, plastic and reflective surfaces that litter our vision??

Taking ourselves out of the context of distraction, we get to experience - and to participate in - Creation as was given to us.

Not the olive fields, hard cropped annually for decades and strimmed aggressively for perceived 'higher sale value'... Not the over-tangled woodlands, confused by the intensive farming activity around and the piles of junk abandoned within it, to express competitive chaos... And not the mentality of local conventions: "Have you dug the earth over yet?" " Have you not planted tomatoes already??" "Do you not have a strimmer?!!"

Instead, the underlying vitality, vivaciousness, wildness and determination of every small and large aspect of it all: the divine interweaving and functioning abundance of it - which we then get to dance with.

We certainly are active, walking around the property almost daily, and having done extensive clearing of brambles, thistles and vitalba from various areas, and thinning of some trees in the wild woods. However we do not lead with domination; our main intention is towards supporting the Life-Full-ness of all things, whilst shepherding them into an even more Life-Full symphony - a fuller and more vital symbiosis of biodiverse expression.

Sacred tweaking and selective discernment.

We feel into each movement, just as I try to do with my aching back: breathing in mindfully, and moving from a panoramic (higher) overview.

> The results are slow to form, and most perfectly-imperfect! Regeneration does not show crops like a bare-soiled orto would: i.e. it doesn't poduce a rushed crop of hybrid, low-nutrition veggies that are already available to purchase in the mercato: that is not the priority.

The priority is building soil, diversity, microclimates, habitations for benficial flora and fauna - and incrementally sculpting the land, together with the elements, towards divine alignment.

NOT back-breaking work! But nevertheless, a sufficiently heavy gravitas to our mission!

With much love to you all, working on the land!
