This neighbour of mine lives at number 91, Albany Drive. This so-called poem describes this unpleasant man to a tee…but the pay-off is rather beautiful!

THANK YOU, THEO

Thank you, Theo, for making our small estate
A place of simple war where you reign supreme
Over what you consider your domain!

Thank you, Theo, for making us suffer the slings and Arrows of your rhetoric, for making us slaves
Under which you wield your whip of ownership (seemingly)

Thank you, Theo, for telling off those simple – but innocent – young boys for playing on your piece of Pavement and for being the bully that you undoubtedly are!

Thank you, Theo, for blocking up your own Kingdom
And blocking us - your subjects - OUT with your precious ‘mettle-shed’, parking your sleek black chariot where you Will - and to hell with the rest of us!

Thank you, Theo, for taking permanent charge of that
One, single, parking space between those precious ‘yellow Lines’ with your SECOND car! (Or is it your third vehicle?)

Thank you, Theo, for hiding behind your wife’s skirts
With the seeming enemy at your door whenever you
Feel ‘fear’ from your foe.

Thank you, Theo, for telling off that 4-YEAR-OLD BOY for
Playing on his little bike (the stabilizers still attached) and making him cry for playing on YOUR LAND (debateable)??

And when his protector - in the form of the boy’s father – Called on you soon after this incident, you AGAIN hid Behind your wife’s skirts telling her: ‘I’m not in!’

Ah, but, my dear Theo, you really should NOT use your

Hosepipe during the drought, THERE IS – AFTER ALL -  A HOSEPIPE BAN! You naughty, naughty Boy! GOTCHA!
 
Naughty Boy Theo!

THE HEALER ON THE BRIDGE.   (First published in THE CIRCULAR)


I moved to Anglesey from Sussex about two and a half years ago, to be near my family. My sister Josie had moved there about a year before. My younger sister Melly and her husband Frank and two boys, had bought a large, rambling house called The Firs (see Ordnance Survey Map. Extreme North) in Angelsey about a year before and were in the process of `doing it up`. Josie was invited to stay with them and was soon joined by my nephew Quenton, Josie’s son. My brother Kevin and his wife also live in West Wales.


You can see that, all in all, my mother and I were kind of obligated to do the same. My mother hates it here because it’s so remote and far from the madding crowd. She is a shopping kind of person, she also objects to the hills, which get under her feet. Well, that kind of sets the scene for what was to follow.


Before I left Sussex, I was a sort of `Trainer` or `Coach` in the psychic arts: teaching folk about the art of `seeing` and `communication`. Toward the end of my time in Sussex I too was having trouble communicating with my own speech, my physical speech.


To cut a long story to ribbons: when I arrived in Wales it was only a month or so when I had my first `fit`, then another. I was diagnosed with a meningioma (a tumour on the brain about the size of an orange. They did not specify what size of orange: a Jaffa or the smaller Spanish variety) They removed it at the Walton Hospital for Neurology, Liverpool. After a few complications they sent me home to recuperate. It was then that I first met him: The healer on the bridge!


I always make a habit of greeting the Guardian of a place, whether it be a sacred place of power, a wood, field, or an ancient church. They always have their Guardians, without exception. A place will always fall into the embrace of some Guardian or other. (The area is always triangular in shape. In my experience, that is). The ancient Hill Fort of Cissbury in Sussex has three Guardians, Emun, Rachael and Tryst. This being an exception to the rule. Wolstonbury Hill has one Guardian, Damus: a Druid, or Drood, as Damus told me, relating to the collective.


Guardians work closely with the Devic forces but in no way `control` them. The Devas' work with them not for them. On the whole the Devic forces (elementals) do not trust human beings, and who can blame them? Most human beings spread poison on the land in their ignorance: Oh, Nature can cope, nature can adapt. Human beings are brought up `blind` to what is around them. They are taught from infancy to be blind. Devas work with the Guardians because they choose to do so, knowing that in them they have an ally, someone they can trust. A Guardians` work is primarily to do with earth maintenance, keeping the energy lines clear. Though their job is becoming harder and more difficult as human beings continue to deny them, to deny that they even exist! Mind you, I cannot imagine teaching a class of kids about Guardians: Right children, today we are going to talk about Guardians. Of course you cannot actually see them, but they are there none-the-less! Oh I don’t know though. Perhaps it would work! Angelic beings are taught in schools where religious instruction is given, and you can’t see them! Well, only the privileged few.


As I have already said, I always make a habit of greeting the Guardian of a place. In Cemaes Bay, Angelsey, where I live, there runs through the village a little river called the Wygyr (pronounced Wigear). It runs lazily through a little wooded area where once ran a small steam tram. Remains of the `track` can still be seen. I can never quite understand why folk don’t take advantage of this little piece of tranquillity. Apart from the odd walker it remains, on the whole, deserted.


As I made my way down the steep pathway that leads from the main A5025 road, I directed my thought in a greeting. Instantly there came back a reply! "Greetings to you too, my friend. It ís been a long time since anyone has spoken to me. In your terms maybe 2 or 3 hundred years." Now I'd had considerable experience with Guardians but never such a quick response as this! I asked him about his work here and he directed me to an area where an energy line (Courier line: giver and receiver of information) ran through a section of river, just before the water tumbles and swirls into a pool before making the ultimate journey to the sea. There is an energy spiral here! He pointed. I can feel it! I replied. I understood from him that he keeps the energy lines clear in Cemaes, or tries to.


The Guardianís name is Cydwr. A Druid (no surprise there!). He stands no more than 5 foot 6 inches. He wears a robe of rough cloth that has a headpiece that comes down to his shoulders, tied around the forehead. He is rotund, cutting a Friar Tuck figure. In his right hand he holds a staff made of plain wood, not carved in any way. "Do you require Healing?"."Why yes, I replied." "Are you a healer, too?" "Some say." He said. "But I require you to stand on the bridge. I work better over flowing water. The energy generated from flowing water over rocks is all-important."


I made my way to one of the little bridges that span the river, the one nearest the High Street in Cemaes. The one where the mouth of the river gently bites the sea. I stopped mid-way. I closed my eyes. At this stage it must be pointed out that I never respond to healers in the usual way, whoever they happen to be. I don’t feel heat. I don’t feel a tingling sensation. None of that. But I do feel relaxed. It was the same with Cydwr (pronounced CUDdoor with a slight roll of the tongue). Only I felt very relaxed.


Through the months that followed I was receiving healing every time that I went down to this little piece of paradise. Almost every day, in fact! I was also receiving healing from a local healer who came once a week. I needed all the help I could get!


But was it Cydwr or the local healer. Or a combination of the two? I came to the conclusion that it was the latter. Cydwr worked more on my mental rather than physical self.


I had visitors. A couple from the South of England. A couple of my old students. I took them down to meet Cydwr. They at once felt his presence, his warmth of welcome. I said to Jim, who was having trouble with his lower back, to stand on the bridge and let Cydwr do his stuff. After a couple of minutes he described the warmth that he felt in his back: Something ís happening, he said. The pain, he said, was subsiding. He came away feeling considerable better. The pain had vanished.


Another of my ex-students, a student with the gift of seeing, described him in every detail, without a prompting from me, exactly as I had seen him. She even found the spiral of energy cascading out from the cluster of rocks connected to the Courier Line. Again, without any prompting from me.


The Healer on the Bridge is a reality. Go to him with your aches and pains, no matter how mundane. You have nothing to lose but face. Never take this Guardian/Healer for granted though. Always ASK him first! If you ask him first, I guarantee that he will respond, even if only to comfort you. No healer worth their salt can ever guarantee a cure, and Cydwr is no exception to that rule.
You do not have to believe, but it helps. You do not have to be a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim or whatever. Just go with an inquiring mind, an open mind. It helps, too, that you have an open heart!

(Later on I checked the bridge by dowsing. It had a Courier line running almost parallel with it. Plus: a healing line that runs crosswise, about four-foot wide. The other little bridge near the main A5025 had a healing line that just missed the bridge. I managed to move it directly over the flowing water. This bridge is now `Healer Friendly` but lacks the rocks which generate greater energy. A Courier line is a Giver and Receiver of information connected to most Standing Stones by a seven looped spiral and in turn connected to EVERY human being on this planet by their chakric system.)
