my poetic vibes
wander blindly
in some desert
hoping to sense
an oasis#tanka

amazing hollow tree...

An amazing hollow tree...
Perhaps timeless secrets are ticked in there...
This park, in Western Australia, features karri trees... growing up to 90m tall... making them one of the world’s tallest hardwoods. https://t.co/QJK67g9rmE

ethereal misty morning...

I'll add this to my little gathering of magical morning skies...
Can't see them?
Ahhhh...That's because they are so close in the ethereal mist... https://t.co/L4O5nSzw0m

productivity and existence...

NOTE TO SELF: 'You don't need to justify your existence in terms of productivity. Rest is an essential part of survival...'

promising morning skies...

I think maybe our timelines need some promising skies...
This is a magical morning sky in the Dromana Hills on 2nd June, 2021... pic.twitter.com/dGtUnVeTJk

a bid for a reassurance speech...

ATTENTION: Last weekend, I suggested Australians sorely need a 'rallying', reassurance speech from federal leaders-maybe Penny Wong @SenatorWong. Many supported the idea. Now I am asking state leaders to step up. Daniel @DanielAndrewsMP - show how it's done? Mark @MarkMcGowanMP?

Here is a link to my earlier post we need a great speech... 

I know I may seem like some strange and unknown voice crying from the wilderness, but I have hope...I must try...Who knows...

resilient old street...

A colourful little street in the rain has a particular charm - enhanced by 'sans vehicles' + people clearly strolling - no pressurised haste.
The bonus is it's a street that has marched through time...lots of time...
May we all summon such beautiful resilience... https://t.co/E0BdUccMh5

space and freedom...

PASSING THOUGHT: Many feel that pandemic-fueled lockdowns spike our freedoms. Some feel that translates as 'no freedom'. But it's the perspective of 'our space' that's been clipped, not our freedom. Kabul's Taliban-threatened residents have no personal space. That's no freedom. https://t.co/jdwHmFCq2g
