Is this what will happen in the lockdown state of Victoria...when restrictions ease?... Will we run not to fancy resorts, but rather to the nomadic home on wheels, the caravan... A desperate urge to be as close to nature as fast as possible? Sign of valuing the environment more? https://t.co/VwBMPpJGUs

in praise of caravans?...
some are out of remote learning tomorrow...
Just take it slowly... Be kind to yourself... Not too many 'must do's'... Be proud of just being there... (I have been remote teaching since end of March and still home...One day...)

Thinking of you...🙏
funny footnote...
Footnotes are such dreary necessities. Good to see that someone dares to break ranks and simultaneously respects what should be recorded...I have never laughed at a footnote... So this is a first...🤣😀😂 https://t.co/b0YFbHMRgd pic.twitter.com/1JJLxCCxzW

I won't snap...
PASSING THOUGHT: So sad that so many Melburnians have 'snapped' (or 'snapping'). I don't want to get to that point. I won't. Positive platitudes don't work. They're irritating. Don't plan the day too tightly. Doomed to fail. Just drift + be open to varied new interests. It works.

dream spaces...
Mountains, libraries, even sitting in the shade of a tree is still in a dream space for me...Warmth of spring is slow...sometimes appears briefly, sometimes retreats for lengths of time...But I value the dream...Dreaming of sacred spaces instils more value + respect for them... https://t.co/FPIbHdkmpz

dissolving the current mood of anger and frustration...
But some of us are trying so very hard to inject some beauty AND an urge to be curious about other topics and themes...Some of us do it daily...I do...Must dissolve ongoing anger and frustration as best we can...And yes... I select who I follow carefully to maintain that goal...

QR code on a gravestone?...
I think this multi-mood Sunday morning is a morning for weird realities...A QR code on a gravestone...??? Is this a sign of moving forward? No boundaries between past and future? Is this ethical, or is there no existing law to monitor this practice...yet?... https://t.co/xE2f3IMLiX pic.twitter.com/XUvdfTNEpT

'Sarum' + Black Death...
➡️'Sarum'...Hitting raw nerves...
— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) October 10, 2020
P.820-'It is often supposed-quite erroneously-that the Black Death of 1348 was an isolated event which was not repeated till the great plague of 1665...almost as terrible as the original, was the second visitation of 1361'...Many outbreaks btw...
mystery of mysteries...
A mystery of mysteries... so many theories... Tiny, dressed wood figures in tiny coffins cached in a small cave/hole on the south side of the extinct volcano, Arthurs Seat, Scotland. All figures are in male attire. Who did this? What exactly is this? When? (1800-1830's???) Why? https://t.co/Kh205vG0eB pic.twitter.com/rtSJBPs0VO

the music rolls on through
patches of blues
and quavers
of random wings #tanka
foster Mum...
Anyone can reach out and offer to be a foster Mum if the urge is there... This is inspiring... https://t.co/l3pKbFiLq9

the winds are set
but the clouds are
still tuning
their strings #tanka
fluffenchops...
The image is OK but the caption is brilliant...Won't be able to get 'fluffenchops' out of my head all day now...It has a mischievous, playful ring to it... I like... 😊❤️ https://t.co/w97Wo152ow
