a still room

noticing the need for creating a space in my life for contemplation.
contemplating ways to remember to be a good person.
wondering about the point of deciding to speak, think or act and where and how the stream of goodness flows in...

High Craft Houses-Northern Exposure 2011

In a window at the top of the hill are "high craft" dwellings.
Lillipudlian fantasies,
oh, to slip inside and take a peek...alas, this cannot be!

Northern Exposure 2011

in celebration of Elizabeths...

we had a holiday today, spent winding wool, knitting neglected socks working up to the knee at a snail's pace and finishing cardigans.

 

more knitting, and city snaps

mother had a precious day off! you only turn forty two once in ya life, and I pipped off a great birthday week, yes, week, with a three hour pamper in the city, hot oil massage scrub you name it! all cosy with freshly laundered waffle-cotton robes of white. you get the idea...

and a meander through Melbourne's laneways, and a spot of knitting in public in preparation for the big day on Saturday.

Sweet Peasy

no words, just knitting...

feeding on green

 

Looking at this photo I cannot believe I actually went there yesterday! It seems like a dream. Does my  inner urban  life divorce me so from nature, that my experience of being in lush rainforest doesn't penetrate me in some way?

 

I watched my children play with the water, drink from the waterfall, feel the mossy rocks with their soles/souls. I had a feeling of wanting to stay there until they had drunk their fill of the forest, before carting them back to the concrete lines and dulled senses of city living.

 

Thank you forest...for allowing the hungry to sup on your exuberant green and heady air!

I returned home absolutely exhausted: how strange, that gorging on life force can defeat me in such a way.

And now it seems a dream!

wee inspirations

what is life but one stream of little inspirations. i can choose to notice as many as i care to, as many as i have the capacity to take in on a certain day. life starts with an insatiable appetite for these moments.
