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

Christmas beetles...
It must be years since I last saw a Christmas beetle...Many people claim they're disappearing...According to one article, the many dry years have not been kind to the appearance of Christmas beetles... except Queensland. Perhaps our winter rains may spur on their appearance...

welcoming presence of a gum tree...
There's a welcoming presence in the spread of this gum tree's trunk + boughs...Anyone who respects that trees matter in this world is welcome...And this guy appears to be a rather smooth talker...But don't be fooled by the 'fancy talk'...There is ancient wisdom within...Listen... https://t.co/ugHqulCz2i

environmental crisis...
PASSING THOUGHT: I respect those who read the world as being in a climate emergency. But surely, the real issue is an environmental emergency, born of human tampering. Our indifferent neglect cultivates a climate crisis, interfering with the universal cycles of climate change. pic.twitter.com/n0TWdHiN6R

'Shutter Island'...
❤️❤️❤️'Shutter Island' (2010)-directed by Martin Scorsese+Leonardo DiCaprio stars...I watched this movie on SBS last night...It is a dark, psychological thriller, on an island, twisting perceptions of realities+pseudo-realities...Max Von Sydow takes a brief but disturbing role... pic.twitter.com/pTkoo0DX8p

Great article explaining the stages of the film (including the ending) is HERE
non-traditional Christmas spirit...
PASSING THOUGHT: Any semblance of a traditional Christmas spirit eludes me these days...Getting older instils that mindset...Rather, I forge my own Christmas spirit...It's all about cleansing physical + mental worlds...It's all about finding new inspiring horizons...new peace... pic.twitter.com/ALji3eFJtn

Indeed, Christmas decorations are limited in my home now...They become small tokens of the season...maybe on my worktable or coffee table...like small reminders for the conscience...
