Still drifting with SBS' 'A World of Calm', screens for 30mins nightly (no ads). First, Nicole Kidman narrated the flight of birds+last night, Prianka Chopra meditated on the art of chocolate beginnings...Re-read Rob Cairns' beautiful chapbook 'This Peace'...a healing journey🙏 pic.twitter.com/hxuOsYnVIe

this peace by Robyn CairnsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rob Cairns' this peace poetically highlights features of a journey we all take, either consciously or subconsciously...seeking that elusive, maybe utopian light we like to understand embodies our personal concept of peace...That peace maybe scrambled with grey and crossed wires. It may even be a little scarred with an industrial skyline or rust. But somewhere, if we take the time to notice, there is the zen glide of a pelican uplifting us and trees regenerating us. For me, Rob's journey is fragmented, halting...short poems connect loosely...The Mungo interlude seems stark, as if not quite the indulgence I expected for an ancient dreaming place...But this is Rob's journey...not mine...I borrow what is meaningful to me, and remember classrooms must have daydream windows. (After all, I am a teacher.)
