My Profile

Avalon Dreamer

Age: 47

Location:
Co. Cork Ireland

About Me I'm a wee one, 5'tall, hazel eyes that see deep into a soul.Part fairy wrapped in a human body, although my wings have been caught on film.Happily married, living in a paradise called Ireland with thoughts on relocating to Scotland where my husband is from.A solitary practitioner now that I've moved from the States. I miss my circle sisters and brothers.I have always been called to the Celtic lands and in 2004 sold everything I owned and moved here even though I didn't know anyone here at the time. I spent the first 15 months here constantly on the road, meeting new friends,listening to their stories, roaming about free like a gypsy, photographing and writing about Ireland and her people.I then met the man who would become my husband and in August 2006 we were married in a lovely park in Edinburgh. I am a published poet and photographer. I am now looking forward to our next great adventure, whatever that may be and wherever the wind might blow us next.

Music I love most music except Rap, Hip Hop, and Heavy Metal.Music is very hypnotic for me and I easily get lost in it. I also love the music of nature, the sound of the waves, birdsong,the wind, the rain. It is all music to me.

MY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Friday, July 4, 2008, 03:02 PM [General]

Today it has been 4 years since I touched down on Irish soil (moss) to start my new life here. What an exciting 4 years it has been. I've met so many wonderful, interesting people here, seen so many amazing places, and done so many things I thought I would never get the chance to do in my life. What I really miss on this day, though, is the BBQ's, the parties and fireworks, and right now, the warmth that comes with July over in the States.

We managed to have 2-1/2 lovely weeks of sunshine and warmth here before the storms returned. Today is pouring down rain, howling wind, thunder and lightning. Looks like the Irish Summer is over, but maybe it will surprise me and we will have a bit more nice weather. I hope so.

If not, I have a back up plan, lol. Later this month I will be going to visit a friend in upstate NY for 2 weeks. No doubt I will have more heat and humidity than I would like, but at least I will know that I have a lovely cool place to return to again.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE!!!

LIVE YOUR DREAM

Saturday, March 8, 2008, 06:37 AM [General]

"LIVE YOUR DREAM"

When I was but a wee lassie I remember hearing Dr. Marin Luther King Jr's famous speech "I Have A Dream" You see, I also had a dream. I was determined to make that dream come true and I did. If you wish hard enough,work hard enough, and never ever give up you can make it happen.I promised myself that no matter what life threw at me I would never give up. I lived a hard life but after 43 years I made it happen. Alot of people who love me helped make my dream come true and I am humbled to know so many people love me. May the Goddess always watch over you all and make your dreams come true too!

SPIRIT DANCE

Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 06:42 PM [General]

SPIRIT DANCE
We go roaming in the gloaming two searching souls are we.
Holy wells and magick spells, kindred spirits wild and free.
I live in an enchanted land. Come join me, take my hand.

Happiness is walking in a field of grass, heartfelt joy
That is meant to last. Riding horseback by the sea, the
Wind in my hair wild and free. Or find myself upon the
Shore listening to the wave's crash and roar. Go out
Dancing in the rain, perhaps walk down a tree filled lane.

Two lovers deep in the night embrace with passion and delight.
Our spirits dancing in the lights, ever reaching greater heights.
Secrets shared, souls bared, happiness beyond compare.
Breath quickens bodies unite.
We surrender as spirits take flight.
A new union is forged search no more.
All is possible on All Souls night.
