44 | OUT AND ABOUT COSTA BLANCA A MEDIUM RARE<br />

As a youngster I used to visit Hampton Court<br />

frequently. There is something very special about the<br />

surviving Tudor architecture, although the Palace<br />

shows evidence of innovations that have spanned the last<br />

three hundred years. Each dynasty of Monarchy endowed<br />

Hampton Court with updates, trimmings and features that<br />

reflect the passing of times, thus producing a mixture of<br />

architecture and a core of design that superbly reflects on all<br />

aspects of decor across those centuries.<br />

Central to the gardens is a wonderful Maze. It is<br />

constructed in Box Wood trees which give density to the sheer<br />

walls of green that hide the secret pathway to the middle. In<br />

any maze it is the centre that everyone is looking for, and,<br />

having found it, the exit is what everyone will seek. Chaos<br />

comes when people are travelling in each and every direction,<br />

and every turning looks exactly the same as the last one.<br />

There are cul de sac dead ends and a lot of teasing when you<br />

reach well into the centre but cannot fathom how you access<br />

that coveted bench right in the centre.<br />

People enter with a view to always keeping left, which<br />

doesn’t work well, or maybe going for the right, which is<br />

not always the correct strategy to follow, and which may<br />

slowly serve to drive you crazy. What is needed to reach the<br />

sanctuary of the centre is patience, calm, and persistence. As<br />

you traverse the green corridors of pollarded trees you have<br />

no clue as to where the next turning is taking you to. You<br />

cannot rely on instinct because you may think you are onto a<br />

winner and have found your way, but somehow that Centre<br />

gets further away with every step. It is frustrating and it was<br />

designed as an Amuse Bouche to whet the appetite for the<br />

rest of the surrounding House and its gardens. Children got<br />

lost in it. Lovers across the decades chose to get lost in it, and<br />

after all it is merely part of our journey of life to overcome the<br />

barriers that prevent us from reaching our goals and then to<br />

go safely home for tea.<br />

Life has become more complicated recently. We may feel,<br />

and we do have every right to feel, as if changes all around<br />

us have made us visitors to a big maze that is life. We should<br />

mourn the freedoms of the past and present ourselves to<br />

being a part of a future that embraces changes and yet it is<br />

not so easy to take, and our instincts are based on survival<br />

and strength, after all. We are all lost in a current Maze of<br />

uncertainty and there may very well be some false turns and<br />

frustrations as we look for each our personal Sanctuary as a<br />

place of safety. The pathway ahead may serve to tease us, but<br />

uncertainty and changes against our wishes are demands and<br />

we should be free to experience that which we feel is a part of<br />

our individual lives, and as such; our own rights as Citizens<br />

of the World.<br />

As there are shifts Politically we may very well see<br />

many changes, and we all want to be part of any change<br />

that will ensure that the Planet survives and that life, as we<br />

perceive it, continues to be mutual and pleasing. Yes, we may<br />

have to rethink, and backtrack and yet there should be no<br />

compromise. When quality of life is no longer available to<br />

us then we should not have to continue, and our own rights<br />

should be there in our defence and not as an illusion of the<br />

lies of some others.<br />

Where does Spirit come into this? Well, our journey of life<br />

has brought us safely to where we are, and on that journey<br />

of life we have had a continuing backup of those who wish<br />

that we get the very best that we can. By acting as a holding<br />

station, open to all, the great Spirit World is not a divide,<br />

but it is a filter to reclaim the souls that are passing through,<br />

whilst caring adequately for all those who need Spiritual<br />

Guidance and love to see them through. Because Spirit is<br />

a body of those who have passed over, so too it is the final<br />

resting place for all souls in transit. Unlike Hampton Court<br />

Maze there will be no dead ends, cul de sacs or irritating<br />

twists and turns as we complete this, our journey of life. The<br />

directive point of the Spirit World is the mainstay of support<br />

and the reception of travelling souls as they congregate and<br />

plan their onward journey. This may take them out of their<br />

comfort zones, but so too will it see a fairness in treatment, an<br />

equality of residence open to all who have lived life and wish<br />

to have guidance and support for the next vital stage of the<br />

journey. Nobody who needs to enter is barred, and nobody<br />

is ever alone there, unless they want to be. Pain does not exist<br />

and all our loved ones who have gone ahead have passed<br />

the portals and determined what choices awaited them in the<br />

options of Spirit. There will be a way in, some changes and<br />

an enlightening process designed to remove the burden of<br />

past worries and negativities as we each examine our lives<br />

and choose accordingly to move onwards, stay and work, or<br />

develop skills as Guides or Helpers to those living here on<br />

Earth who need our tender love and care to carry on. No life<br />

is wasted. Mystery and magic such as we may never have<br />

experienced awaits us, and since there are no barriers then we<br />

know that we shall be well protected and taken care of.<br />

Life is amazing in every way, and though sometimes we<br />

find it hard to achieve happiness, or we are frustrated or<br />

impatient, the Grand exit from Spirit, when the time comes,<br />

means that we have done what we were sent here to do and<br />

now is the time to rest and recuperate.<br />

May life make your journey happy, and here’s hoping you<br />

find your way to the safety of your destination with no wrong<br />

turns or dead ends! Spirit knows sometimes you need to<br />

know how to escape, but be safe and accept now the secrets<br />

of life that are your true treasures.<br />
