Sanctus Est

“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.” - G.W. Carver

New Site

Well I have a new site (well not so new really) which is
why I haven't posted anything on here for a looooong time.

The site is www.freewebs.com/alanna_halfelven

Enjoy.

Maybe I'll come back to blog or perhaps delete my blogs.
Though I'm not sure I have the heart to because I put
effort and time into them.

Take care,

The elf X

Poetry corner!

Hi! Well I thought I would share my
recent poems. There are 4 here so happy
reading! The first two are a pair.
If you can, let me know what you think
and take your time.

Morning Star (1/06/06)

Her eyes glimmer with hope,
Her sweetness reveals a light,
Her heart is filled with love
And her wisdom shines pure light.

O mysterious beauty,
O beautiful mystery,
The sun and moon adornes
Thou House of gold and roses

The Sun

His eyes shine with fire,
His heart is ever expanding,
His good judgement is fair,
He loves beyond understanding.

O wonderful mystery,
O mysterious wonder,
You are pure majesty,
Your grace is in me forever

I hope to love

I wish to love thee
Like the others before me.
I wish to kiss thee
Like the heavenly light.

But alas! I have not the strenghth,
I have not te means to guideth
Only you can provideth
Only your grace and love can.

An ancient home (22/07/06)

Remnants of a fire roasting...
The flames skip in the dead of night,
The daubed wattle hides the lights of the sky,
Only seen through small gaps, peek a boo.

Laughter and songs ring in the air,
The shields and swords reflect those times -
Hung in glory,
A glory of a people.
Lives held precious,
Times held dear.

The glitter of the torques and daily pans,
The glitter in the eyes shared young and old
For a time.

Long ago people lived
To the crackling sound of fire and life.

A home.

Long time no see.

Been quite busy. A lot's been going on so I haven't
really typed anything for a while.

I think I might use this space for creating
only now; for poetry, spaced out thoughts
on films, LOTRs etc.

Okay well I guess that's not that much different
from before but it's just without the everyday
kind of news.

I have another blog that's been up for a while
called specialis cella. The link's in
my profile. I just haven't told
anyone until now. I was keeping it a secret
because it was created for my thoughts and
feelings from a Catholic perspective. I
didn't want to be discouraged by people on
that site by family or friends.
But I see that you have to keep it real and
reveal who you truely are no matter what the
reactions. So I'm sort of laying myself bare.
I leave the rest to God. It might be the case
that hardly anyone will go on it anyway.

And it's Holy Week! Thank God Jesus did what he did.

Thanks be to God for everything,
Thanks be to Jesus for the teachings and sacrifice,
Thanks be to Mary for being a new mother for a new covenant,
Thanks be to the disciples for spreading the truth,
Thanks be to the sponsors and carers for Jesus and his troop,
And thanks be for all Christ's family past, present and future.
