Peace – another step
Today across my path I saw signs of renewal of old connections and the resurgence of an old old hope. Not mine. But one I recognise. And I smiled. It made me grateful I have taken time to look at myself, look back, work through so much and begin to find my way through all […]
The Land of Aus – drought, flood, bushfire….
Perhaps Dorthy realy did come to Aus with Toto. The green , the colour of the supercell storms as they bear down and linger in whatever valley they can on the way to the coast…. This country from as far back as the Brits sent their convicts here ( usually for stealing bread to feed […]
