Tis is great!
last night when I shut down my computer I thought to myself "no, tomorrow I'll have all the difficulties in the world again and not be able to access my site and blah blah blah" But hey, it's worked I'm here, tis is Great, I'm now a happy little vegemite. Now all I have to do is learn how to add all the pretties.
The other day when I walked to uni I just looked at all the colour and activity, young and old, around me and once again felt that pulse, that rythm of life to quote the wonderful performer Sammy Davis Jnr in the movie "Sweet Charity".
Most people maybe don't notice this but I've been away from it for a long time now so my senses are more acute to the vibrations of society around me when I re-enter the city enviroment. I love being back in the city, the old euphorism "you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl" well flip that and I guess that it applies to me a bit. I fell in love with this very alternative guy who is a wonderful potter with a huge talent, who built the home we live in out of mud brick from the local area and it's out in the middle of the bush.
It is very beautiful where we live and we nurture and take care of our land, we have abundant wildlife around us, and I have a healthy appreciation for the fact that I couldn't live in the city with ease ever again. You see both of these enviroments have such different vibrations, the city has a vibe that bounces up of the concrete and zaps around you, like you're inside a pinball machine. Where as at home in the bush, there is an absorbance that happens. It's subtle and in the long run extremely seductive, it nurtures your soul. You learn to feel the earth breathe and sigh and the energy that the earth gives you is regenerative, and although I love to come into the city, it leaves me poophed at the end of the day.
