It's Nettle Time...

I love nettles , but I wouldn't like to cuddle them.. Trips to the woods will reveal large clumps of nettles at the moment so I thought I would drop a couple of links as to how to pick them safely , ouch , their benefits and what to do with them ... they are free .. grab your basket and go get some x

Blackbird..

Blackbird singing in the dead of night ,

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

 All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

  Black bird singing in the dead of night

 Take these sunken eyes and learn to see ,

all your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free 

 Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly

 Into the light of the dark black night.

 Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly 

Into the light of the dark black night. 

 Blackbird singing in the dead of night 

Take these broken wings and learn to fly 

All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise, 

You were only waiting for this moment to arise, 

You were only waiting for this moment to arise 

 Now , I'm sure I read that this song isn't about blackbirds at all ,but what the hey , I have a different interpretation in my head . We are currently being visited by Boris the blackbird who sings to me daily , if I hear him whilst in the house I automatically boil a kettle ,make a cuppa and go sit with him outside and stop and listen ...and listen .. Peace and deep tune that alters with each breath...and listen x - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
