Connecting moments in my peninsula world, my Australia and beyond...Whatever speaks to my thalassophile soul in these tidal days...

follow your inner moonlight...
Love the idea of inner moonlight...but I will refrain from a comment on the madness...that's classified..."Follow your inner moonlight,— Kazuko M. (@EstherHawdon) June 2, 2020
don't hide the madness."

my Thomas Hardy era...
This was the era when D.H.Lawrence's 'Sons and Lovers' + Evelyn Waugh's 'The Loved One' (satire about the funeral business) + Christina Stead's 'For Love Alone' + Beckett's 'Murder in the Cathedral' first burst on the school curriculum to the shock/horror of some traditionalists.— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 2, 2020
Looking back now, I am grateful for my high school English experiences.I think I can confidently claim that I have read everything Thomas Hardy ever wrote. However, I prefer his novels. I find his poetry appealing, but not as robust + impassioned as his novels where the close connection between character, landscape + seasons always enchants.— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 2, 2020
The old traditional curriculum was fading...I caught some traditions - Jane Austen ('Pride and Prejudice') and Charles Dickens ('Tale of Two Cities' in Year 7) and lots of Shakespeare...but also caught the rise of the new wave...the best of both worlds...
History was a bit sad...locked in British History...kings and queens + the colonial era...No other history was on the drawing board...But that radically improved when I attended university...
the dance of marriage...

Cameron Daddo is an Australian actor, musician and presenter...
Just had a crazy thought...Cameron Daddo looks so much like Sam Neill - New Zealand's actor, writer, director and vineyard proprietor extraordinaire.
in the air of moonlight...

celebrating Shaun Tan...
Great to highlight this wonderful, thoughtful tale during Reconciliation Week 27th May - 3rd June. https://t.co/XbQt9LVRsn— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 2, 2020
The film version of 'The Lost Thing' lifts the story to another realm where the lines between magic and reality blur... Shaun Tan won an Academy Award for 'The Lost Thing', a 2011 animated film adaptation of the 2000 picture book he wrote and illustrated. pic.twitter.com/UUHS3OlR9K— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 2, 2020
Still on a Shaun Tan roll, if you seek a book without pressure, without words, without narrative, a book of feelings set in scenes, then try 'The Red Tree'. It walks through the deepest dark feelings in just images...then turns steadily to light... pic.twitter.com/pxUi4YzMRp— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 2, 2020
green was the silence...
Always feel a sense of lightness, a floating spirit in paintings of this style..."Green was the silence,— Kazuko M. (@EstherHawdon) June 1, 2020
wet was the light,
the month of June
trembled like a butterfly."

And adore Pablo Neruda's poetry...
inner metal...
