Blessings to all....

[Patti Gagan]

I am new to the site and wanted to say Hello to everyone. The sun is shining today and I'm so enjoying the rays. I can hardly wait for everything to start blooming although I know it's still a few weeks away.

Recently moved from KY, where I lived for 3 years, to Ohio. Ohio is my home state. Unfortunately, because of my husband getting a new job, we had to leave our country home in KY and move back into the city. I would ask that everyone send up wishes that our home sells in KY so that we may purchase another home, hopefully in the country here. I am thankful my husband has a job! I also know it was meant to be for us to move back to Ohio where our parents are not in the best of health and due to that fact, my husband lost his father in January.

Thankfully, there is a tree in the front and back yard of this duplex we live in. I don't know what I would do without my trees. *giggle* I've always felt and affinity to trees and the wildlife they harbor. No wonder one of my favorite characters in LOTR is Treebeard!

I've always been interested in the paranormal, psychic world and dimensions and so forth. I also read Tarot. I read not in the traditional layouts but intuitively. I've felt as if I've been slumbering the last few years and haven't read very much. Hoping to change that.

Every once and awhile a poem will come to me. I will share the most recent one.

INVITATION

She comes through the night

Stealthy and fast

Breathing down upon me

Awakening me to the night

"Come," she says

I arise and go

Quietly we glide upon air

To a place few do know

A world within worlds

Fairies dance and sing

Dragons fly and roar

Waterfalls thunder down mountains

Trees so tall and round

They house the Woodland Elves

Those who are found

A wonderland to behold with

Magic in the air

I am to belong...

Become a part of this Fantasyland.

Thanks for letting me share a little about me.

Hugs & Blessings,

Patti

I heard there are loads of faery in Ohio by the by....
My mum is a composer (She's Welsch) and wrote "Monument Valley" posted here in the music She's also written songs for all of the major arcana of the Tarot all of which are even lovelier. Wishing you great blessings... just relax it is all happening as it should be.

Welcome, Patti it's great to get to know you a little and I am sure you'll have a lot of fun connecting with the wonderful people here. Treebeard is one of my faves, too - I'm a confirmed treehugger.
I also wanted to say, what a magical poem! Thanks very much for sharing.

I grew up in Cincinnati, spent the 1940's and '50's there and then moved to Dayton where I finished college at UD in 1963. I moved west to Arizona and then to California where I lived until five years ago when my husband and I moved to Oregon. We had our sights on Washington but our children and their families would not be happy to have us move any further north. We love it here - a small town of 1100 people. It's quiet and full of art and music and the sense of coastal ocean, rivers and forestland. Just right for now. I hope you enjoy checking in on this site. I don't get here as often as I would like but I have found people very interesting and open to communication and to sharing their views of life. Keep in touch.

Thank you Jan, I appreciate the response. It's nice to be in a place where I can be understood. I've always wanted to visit Washington and Oregon. I have a friend who lives in Eubank, Oregon and my sis-in-law is from Salem area. My husband loves the Washington area as he was stationed at Widby Island at one point. Where did you grow up in Ohio? I was raised in Lorain, on the Great Lake Erie.

Hi Patti,
I have been traveling to visit family and so just came back to find your post and your profile. I just spent time in Oct '09 in Ohio where I was born and grew up. Then I left for the west and never really lived any length of time back in the midwest. I hope things work well for you and your husband in Ohio. I live on the southern coast of Oregon surrounded by those beings that support us - those wonderful trees. Growing up, I spent a lot of time in trees and have lived with trees around me as often as I could in my adult life. Sometimes I would walk in parks or open spaces and find a particular tree that especially spoke to me and gave me that sense of contact with myself and the other world that I so often find myself a part of in writing or painting or making music. May all the trees around you sing to you and welcome you when you let them know you have come to spend time with them. Your true home is within - may your world reflect that world around you. Welcome here where many will understand your sense of reality.
