Of Getting Married and Surfacing from a deep beautiful dream

2008-05-12T15:05:00.007+12:00

Its nearly a month since our son Koa Wainui Cornelis Horton was born. He weighed 4070 gms at brith and last week he weighed 4440, so its a fast growing and wonderful boy that he is. We have been gettting used to having two wonderful and little beings with us. Tai Marama is doing wonderfully with the addition to the family. She is sleeping well, except for waking up at 5:30 am and not going back to sleep! oh well an early start for papa never hurt. I am just strting to think about getting back into building on the house. My brother Ben is coming down for a few days around the 21st to help so using that as a starting date for building. so much Gratitude and Apreciation for the beautiful way life has unfolded over that last while and continues to.

Next News is that Jay and Sacha are getting Married!!! We plan on doing the deed 14th March 2009, thiws will hopefully give the overseas crew time to gather themselves and plan the trip. Much love to all and thanks for everything...

Life is like a smoothy...

FIRSTS

2006-11-26T00:08:00.000+13:00

First time in the city, first time on a plane, first time in a silk dress...So many, and I as I wandered around outside the restaurant helping to our little girl, I looked at the city again with new eyes, Imagining what it was like. So many new experiences, so many fresh connections happening...vroooommm, a car flies past and her head wips around wondering what that was... and I wonder about how to explain it. It is a lot easier to imagine explaining about plants and waterfalls, and rocks...with new eyes I appreciate once again the miracle that is life and I am great-full.

She has a window into my heart

Tai Marama Mientje Horton - our pacific princess has arrived home. A smooth ceasarean birth at Nelson hospital on Wednesday the 12th of July, at 14:04, she weighed 7.14 pds or 3.595 kg. We stayed all together at the hospital for four days, me on the floor beside Sachas bed and Tai mostly in one of our arms. Sacha recovered very quickly and was walking around on the second day! Now we are home in Rototai (part of where her name comes from) and have settled back in to grow together as a family. So many firsts to come... now her first picture and blog on the net. Love to all the family and friends from us three...xxx ooo

Growing a Family

2006-02-05T10:45:00.000+13:00

Growing a family inside myself, I realise a sense of peace and groundedness not before imagined. The growing being inside my Schatje teaching me things before I have even seen him/her with my eyes, only with ultra-sound scan. I look at children around me with new eyes these days, seeing their beauty and grace, noticing the miracle of our existence. I pray for a healthy baby and easy-safe birth.

Family Connection

2005-12-30T10:22:00.000+13:00

As I sit at the box nearly at the end of this year, I am thinking about family, over seas, here close, growing in my partner's belly. I wonder how much of our ancestors is common to all of us? How much the same, does family in England feel? Sometimes I believe that your suroundings create your experience, I mean you know what you experience. But sometimes I get a feeling and wonder where it came from? Did my grandfather ever wonder what I would feel when I had a baby? I have already wondered what my childs child will be... May There be happinesss for all this new year...PEACE UP>>>>

Connection

2005-08-19T21:55:00.000+12:00

Once again I am amazed at the interconnectedness of things. Across the whole world, ribbons of energy/thought connect and flow in the direction of now. Eye see it and feel it while all the rest is going on. By experiencinganything, I miss it, only aware of the moments past. Always following myself around I sometimes feel out of touch with Eye. Only by trusting the intuition of the moment can I be truly free. Now is the possibility that all Eyes are happening at the same moment in time,people having the same dream, following the same intuition. Finite possibilities swirl around me chaoticly, flashing colours and associations, memories referencing the movie. Eye can sometimes fish the murky pond, And clomp along the muddy bank in gumboots full of paint. My own face seeming like stranger, sometimes yawning to release the cramp, spine humming like the computer fans around me. Reaching up and back into the darkness, out beyond the reach of my furthest finger tips. There it is. Rambling loose down the tracks, free rollin at the end of a peacefull evenin.

The Collective Waiting Game

2005-08-07T12:53:00.000+12:00

PhiSoundArt is a communication project based in Golden Bay, New Zealand. PhiSoundArt is the name for the media solutions business that compliments my fascination with sound production, art and the ancient futuristic world of sacred geometry. Media for me is anything used to communicate, any Language, Sound, Photography, Video, Painting, Sculpture, Poetry, Ritual, Performance, and any combination of these, I have tried many and will continue to try as many as I can. JayPhi, as some people are getting to know me, is interested in many different creative genres but mostly in the connections between things/people and/or ways to communicate (with) those. I am passionate about finding a way to be a part of a collective that communicates freedom and healing for our world in a sustainable way. I am committed to being in my purest integrity with as many things as are possible for my happiness. I believe in a collective destiny that continues generational into the future while not losing its past. From Craft, Sculpture, Printmaking and Design through an ever increasing interest in sound, video/new media technology and production. Now just turned thirty I am reaching a new dawning in myself, a new awareness of community, communication, connection, and caring. I consider myself a cross-cultural new generation hippy kid. Now what intrigues me most is connecting communities of people together using all those mentioned genres of creativity. Searching for new, and remembering old ways. Not being part of the collective waiting game.
