Down Under

 

Poems from the Australian Bush

The author’s reflections of early life experiences growing up on an isolated sheep and cattle station known as Muloorina, which lies adjacent to Lake Eyre and the Tirari Desert, all stories conveyed in verse as Bush Poetry.

A companion to Campfire Memories and Happy Campfires.

About the Author

 

It is with heartfelt pride that I present my third offering of Bush Verse, Down Under for your appreciation.

Topics are many and varied, mostly based on life experiences of topical conversation around numerous Campfires, crisscrossing the desert, touching on history, weather events and characters met along the way.

I have a deep respect for this part of the world, (The Lake Eyre Basin) that I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy for just a blink in time, and am now grateful to share my backyard, to my many readers and followers, expressing my thoughts on a life well lived, narrated in rhyme.

For those of you who wish to experience Australia’s greatest inland lake system, I encourage you to immerse yourselves in this timeless landscape to appreciate the aura that consumes your senses from this natural world of wonder!

I penned Ancient Scapes for your appreciation of my feelings, captured within the heart of the Lake, that I’ve been lucky enough to experience.

Thank You For My Life

When everything is gelid and dark, be in the present, follow the faint sounds in the distance of joy like laughter. Lean into the stillness. For there you shall find peace. For there you shall be grateful. Thank You For My Life.

It Is My World

IT IS MY WORLD is a collection of poems dated back to 1972.

Many of the poems are about seeing the simplicity around us in the wonders of nature while other poems have to do with one’s feelings, thoughts and experiences as one travels in our own journey through life.

About the Author

 

Born in the Netherlands, GISHKA VAN REE (BVA, MVA, B.ED) is an Adelaide based visual artist, teacher and a poet. From an early age his interest in the visual arts grew while his interest in poetry started to grow after being given several books by both Western and Eastern poets.

He first started to read his poems at the regular monthly ‘Friendly Street Poetry’ meetings which began in Adelaide in 1975.

Several of his poems were published in the first, third and fourth editions of the ‘FSP’ reader and in other publications in Australia, India and the USA. Since then his interest in the visual arts has grown while still writing poetry and in the past twenty years his poems have been combined to be part of his art work.

Life Through Art

Revive creative freedom, heal from trauma and embody spiritual wisdom

You don’t need to be a technically good artist to use art as a vehicle for healing or self-realisation. All you need is your preferred art medium and a willingness to move across the page in whatever way you’re called.

In Life Through Art, Abigail shares the personal experiences that guided her to embody an art healing modality. That is, a method of visual art where the individual relinquishes the urge to control the outcome on the page in lieu of liberating what their intuition seeks to express. It is a stream of consciousness approach to artmaking which promotes healing benefits beyond the satisfaction of executing a particular image.

Through original art, poetry and incisive self-reflection, the author explores the connection between being creative, healing from trauma, and becoming more aware of the spiritual world. This is offered as a guide for how we can use art healing to flow into a more fulfilling path.

The Invitation

This book is a collection of words strung together from the Creator.

Poured into my heart from the Spirit that lives within, during morning, dusk or a mundane task.

Written on paper, as a form of praise to the One who holds every day.

From Him flow streams of living water that are needed to satisfy and sustain us for this life under the sun and for every season that comes.

He is the One who holds life abundant, the One who fills and pours out so that we may do the same.

Within each of these words is an invitation, An invitation to accept the sacrifice that He made, An invitation to partake, An invitation to draw close and drink deeply, An invitation to praise, An invitation to journey the ebbs and flows of life hand in hand with Him, An invitation to daily surrender and to live for the glory of another, An invitation to live as an ambassador for something far greater!

I pray these words bring hope, truth and refreshment.

I pray you may sit within them, pray through them, and above all: Let them point you to the person of Jesus, the only one who will ever satisfy the thirst of our souls.
