Just getting back to the inner city life in AUS, spent the last 2 days at a rave deep in the bush, and .. just wow. Not only was the venue one of the most amazing places ive ever been to, but the crowd was just wikkid!!! it was smaller more intimate, and had the kinda vibe that everyone knows everyone.

I know my path as a warrior is ultimately to walk alone here, but the love in my heart makes me miss some of the magical people that have come across my life. Everyone comes into my life for a reason, and the energy that they eminate has a strong connection with me regardless, and experiencing that connection if only for a short time makes me realize how many wonderfull people and things there are in this world.

We set up our campsite some time on Saturday afternoon, and met some of our neighbours in the area, and settled into the grounds. I call this place dinosaur valley becuase the way it looked.. the trees, the raw earth, the way the hills looked reminded me of broncosaurus, well some of them anyways.

The biggest hill was North of our site and when it was approaching sundown I decided to climb it, and what a climb it was, taking my time and listening to the story of the trees as I ventured into the woods I was still in awe as I progressed. Finally reaching the top of the hill, the sudden sounds of branches breaking and footsteps startled me, it was a kangaroo!!!!! only a small one but still!! i just managed to catch a glimpse of it as it ran off, didn’t even have a chance to snap a few photos.

But as I moved onto the flat hill top, just wow. the view downwards into the valley was mainly blocked by the tall trees, but to the distance I could see clear and vividly deep into the valley, really amazing. Also the music … Psy Trance at its best very light and atmospheric to suit the time of the day, (can hear abit in one of my videos, msg me for a link) I stayed there in meditation for about an hour untill I could feel the suns energy leaving us for now., I watched the sun go down. and it was one of the most spectacular sunsets ive ever experienced, I could literally watch it moving as it set off past the tree tops on the far side. The time of sorcery was about to begin.

We raved that night .. and day, there was nothing like being on the earth surrounded by love, and energy , barefootThere were many faces that came across my path that night, and the energy is engrained within my heart. Jenatia, Hannie, Greg, Michelle .. some of their names. Hannie what a beautifull girl!!! I always love when people come up to me and talk to me, she said right away she loved the little line of hair I had under my lip.. something I came up with back then, and still carry. also how lovely my eyes were!! I love it when people feel the need to talk to me, and im sure she was happy also.

That night, we raved!!!! the energy waves from the sound form different ways inside me, trance .. its not drum and bass!! hehe the movements that I come up with are different yet beautifull in their own way, and it was amazing to experience the rave here. the different ways people move, the little sub-cultures that form here, it was pure hippy and there was so much love !!!

Nick .. The stars are different here!! so amazing, and so clear I couldnt get over it!!! I still wish I could go back to look at them some more! not that night, but that night me and Karryn curled up in our sleeping bags by the hot coals of the fire, and slept under the stars, what a beautifull sleep. we laughed and giggled for a while, untill sleep. John chose the car after the temperature began to drop.

I loved every minute while we were there.

I woke shortly before sun rise, and while it was still dark out it made the fire up. to me there has always been something magical about building a fire under the stars, and sitting there I spent hours in meditation, even just laying down beside the fire and looking at time. Some of my visions were magnificant that night, but that is another story.

Oh, so during the day there were many flies and were kind of annoying I discovered that when I stood by a tree that they would not come near me. and didnt think much of it, but that morning I was being harassed, and it just clicked to me that its because they are eculaptus trees! quickly i grabbed a nearby branch that had fallen, broke some of the leaves up and rubbed on my face and neck, stuffed the branches down my shirt so the leaves hung over my face and viola !! no more bug problems!! and i Looked soooo kool also (Sorry Nick forgot to snap a pic =/ i know.. i know)

That morning 2 warriors came across my path, Jimmy .. a native Aboriginal that has lost his path, and Nick a travelling companion of his. He shared with me tales of his travels in search of his roots, he walked with everything he owned in his bag, a few photos, and some other small items, he made his way all across Australia, he only gave me a glimpse of his face but it was enough.
