How To Manifest The Impossible
The poet laureate Robert Southey, when he wasn’t quilling epic poems about Joan of Arc, Robespierre or Nelson, said this: “To a resolute mind, wishing to do is the first step toward doing. But if we do not wish to do a thing it becomes impossible.” Isn't that fantastic?
Our seeing with eyes that can see the impossible might just be the step of faith needed to begin the journey towards its manifestation. There are big wishes hidden behind our jaded inner editors that have learned over the years that so many things are impossible.
Firstly, any journey needs a destination. Secondly, it is better to be going for the right destination, however big or impossible it may seem; you want what you want whether you think you can get to it or not. Thirdly, be careful! The biggest wishes are hiding behind all sorts of fears, doubts and comfort zone issues.
Here are my 10 favourite wishing questions which start off easy and get progressively more challenging.
- Every New Year’s I resolve to . . .
- I would be absolutely fantastic at . . .
- Nobody knows I’m . . .
- One thing everyone’s tried but me is . . .
- If I wasn’t scared I would . . .
- My dream is to . . .
- If I could change one thing in my life it would be . . .
- I really wish I would no longer . . .
- If I won the big one I would . . .
- If success were guaranteed I would . . .
You can leave your answers to any of these questions below or even suggest one of your own.

We've seen the first swallows arriving from the far South, the trees are beginning to green, daylight is continuing long into the evening, the dawn chorus rings vibrantly over fields carpeted in daisies, and the first aromas of the warmer times to come (we hope) are in the air. Whatever has lain dormant is discovering its fertility. Something new is coming into being. More ...
A Rising Fire - Poems for Beltane and Pentecost
Beltane is a season of growing strength, of passion and of the fertility of the approaching summer. It is a time to seek new inspiration which will inspire our work and our creative lives. It is also traditionally a time of cleansing and revitalising, so that the coming summer months will be all the more fruitful and fertile. It seems natural, then, that the most significant elemental symbol of Beltane is fire. More ...
