Kia Ora! Here be a collective blog space for Tim and Shelly! We're currently on our travels across Australia in search of knowledge that can not only benefit us but also our children to be, our families, friends and most importantly, this great world we are all blessed to live amongst. We're learning skills to assist in the revival of Earth's natural and delicate systems so that our children, their children and all the children to come on this planet can hopefully breathe clean air and contain within them a knowing... a great powerful LOVE that can educate the people of the world to assist each other and their planet. It's our personal mission but we're doing it for everyone... =)

There's a vial of LOVE in my pocket!


Kia Ora... Arohanui...

Over the last three months of being in this vast land of goodness, we've met some beautiful beautiful beautiful people.. And it's been absolutely the most precious blessing that we could have asked for! The love shared between people is so key to having a beautiful life.. an open heart and a shining, welcoming face.. Those around me have been wonderful in so many ways. So generous.. So patient.. So giving of their time.. So willing to teach.. So open to new ideas.. So open to new faces.. So willing to give us all they can for no more than the sheer enjoyment of having us around. How wonderous!

Why aren't all the peoples of this world so giving, so patient, so open and so willing to share their time??

It's so much more enjoyable being around people that are willing to let go, willing to LOVE everybody without question.. Then you stumble into an environment where it's all business, there's no love, no "this is why we do what we do, for the love of it!", no patience, no willing to give a damn thing apart from cold demands.. To say "please" would be out of their phsyical ability. How sad. How sad it is to be in an environment when all you want to do is reach out to the people that you're so closely relating with, daily, but it's just not possible. We've found ourselves in one of these positions and it's really quite awful. Baha'u'llah says "..possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty anvient, imperishable and everlasting". Of course! How else can we all be open, loving peoples if we do not possess the most basic of all virtues, a kind heart? But still, such hard thing to possess for some.

I feel, after much thought and having been given cold eyes and closed hearts now for more than a week, that my only option here is to humble myself before these people in need of Light and offer them my own patience, love and service. Then, carry on my journey and pray that they can learn to see the light in all peoples. "The essence of Understanding is to testify to one's poverty, and submit to the will of the Lord, the Sovereign, the Gracious, the All-Powerful"... In this case, I consider these peoples we are staying with to be a test.. Something put in our path that we obviously have something to learn from.. So, in the end, I thank the One who has given me this test. Even though it's incredibly irritating that I must stay there and feel this angst for another 6 days, I will learn what I can.

A little Blue Book has found it's way into my possession recently and has been warmed by the palms and fingers of my hands for a while each day while my mind expands to allow room for all the huge, beautiful ideas it contains. Such a little book but so many very empowering words that seem to Somehow make their way into my bloodstream and welcome the shivers of Knowing. How is it that I've never felt like this before? How is it that I've never been offered this knowledge before in my lifetime? Almost like it wasn't a part of this World. But I feel that now I've been given the chance, I must take the opportunity and confront those parts of me that have, only until now, been neglected.. Purely out of fear.. impatience.. disbelief.. ego.. pride.. "Teachings For The New World Order" be it's name and Baha'u'llah be it's creator.

Never before, ever, in my entire life have I ever considered it possible that I'd be eagerly reading the words of a man who is said to be speaking the "Words of God". Never. I'd have thought it to be a threat before.. Far to big for me... Why now? Why not before...?

Haha! That's the fun of it all, isn't it? Not knowing, just welcoming.. Just feeling that it's right.. Not having to doubt whether it's Truthful, just truly knowing it's the best thing for you.

Birthday time is getting closer for this Little Lady.. And she's certainly getting excited!! A Birthday in Melbourne, how super. I've no idea what the day will hold but again, that's the fun of it!! Definately a picnic under a tree.. Maybe sprawled out before the great blue sky and clouds with the grass tickling my skin.. Maybe a movie.. Maybe a glass of fermented grape over a pizza... OOOh can't wait. Twenty Three and so many years ahead of me to be excited about. Oh my heart beats faster just thinking of it all.

I miss my Mummy.. I miss my Whanau.. I miss my Moolah.. I miss Aotearoa..

Sydney is going to be the dessert of my birthday.. The Bahai temple there awaits our rosey cheeks, knowing we've been anticipating it for such a long time..

Until next time,

Peas, Love & Light

Moments of reflection..





Australia! I'm finally out of Aotearoa, but missing it dearly. The country I have for so long known to be absolutely BEAUTIFUL is just that.. So special.. So very beautiful.. So patient with it's inhabitants and so willing to provide us all with exactly what we need. The vibrations I recall are those found no other place than Aotearoa.. Beautiful land, beautiful people. I miss you all!

I'm 22.. 23 this month.. Young, or old? Compared to what?! Compared to the Universe I'm so young that the Universe itself is unable to comprehend the shortness of how long I have been alive! How remarkable. How beautiful. How amazing to be able to breathe this air and smell the smells that Gaia blesses us with. The paths in my mind are made of white pebbles that crunch beneath my feet as I walk them slowly and surely.. Taking in the surroundings of the woods in my mind.. The woods that I know so well.. Each tree so familiar, perhaps so haunting, or comforting. Each tree may represent a different Era in my life.. Each pebble a different moment captured in my memory. They all resonate through my whole being, body and soul, as my mind walks their winding paths.. So shiny and worn, some of them, for my feet have felt their every curve many a time but never quite been able to pick them up for they manage to slip away through my toes before I can truly investigate their making.

My mind falls in and out of the pockets of wonderment as I consider the enormity of this great Universe, then floods back into my body and becomes once again aware of my lips sipping on a tea and enjoying it so. How can one truly understand what it is we're made of? Or is that something that's impossible? My mind expands every time I wonder how I came to be...

I'm so very much enjoying the feeling of being in love. What a beautiful gift we've been given.. The ability to LOVE not just ourselves but another... Another great being of this Universe.. Our paths have crossed.. Our tendrils have entwined and now we travel these great prairies together on a mission for Unity amongst all peoples. We search for Unity within ourselves so we can share it with others and hope that our efforts will be passed on to the next creature they shall meet. So for me to be SO blessed to have Tim accompanying me on my life mission just blows me away like petals in a gust of sweet spring breeze when I ponder such a gift. I am so very, and will forever be, grateful for such a blessing and such an opportunity.

My mind is filled with motivation to have a healthy body.. If I am to bear a child, my body must sparkle! But how does one remove negative influences when one enjoys such things so very much? You think of what damage it will do to your child! Well, I must admit, it helps me to a certain degree when I'm sipping my morning coffee which I know is not good for my body.. But I stopped smoking for the cause, so coffee must go! Addictive substances, whatever they may be, are not what I want my child to see me enjoying.

"What child, exactly, are you talking about here Miss. Shelly?", You may ask..

"The one I see when I close my eyes and imagine what could be the most fulfilling moments of my life!", I reply.

My mind, so busy it is during the day and how quiet it seems during the night. Forever dreaming of other worlds.. Other lives I may be living.. The life I live in my dreams with my child Vero I once had.. She grows older and more beautiful every time I sleep. Such a child of enormous beauty and love. Her essence accompanies me through every path in my mind.

What a journey I'm on. What a journey YOU are on WITH me!

How spectacular.
