ant trivia...

Some interesting ant trivia...Great side-track...
This takes power naps to a whole new level...
However, there's a social level to this power napping...
While the worker may take just over a minute to power nap, Queen ants tend to sleep 6 mins at a time...https://t.co/fEDOULJCGq https://t.co/4HxCPjHwS8

more than I am...

PASSING THOUGHT: More+more I feel I'm attracted to writers who discard academic superiority+some right to sanctums of ethereal wisdom. The writer who woos me walks the earth unfettered by fashion+popular culture -walks with me, talks with me+encourages me to be more than I am... pic.twitter.com/u9sioesYuv

morning rosella joy...

Morning rosella joy in the Dromana Hills...
I attended an impromptu photoshoot with this little guy...
He was most accommodating...
I thanked him before he flew away... pic.twitter.com/h9HZrxClH2

alternative lifestyles...

Alternative lifestyles can be a very desirable option. However, some responsibility must be factored in if you take other peoples' lives with you. The current local setting, the universal context, the current universal 'climate' are risk factors that need respectful attention.

Miroslav Holub's 'The Door'...

I first reflected on this poem here Thursday 23rd April, 2020.

surprise visitor...

surprise visitor
a flurry
of light hail
polka-dots
my senses #tanka

in the zone...

PASSING THOUGHT: Lockdowns have taught me a lesson or two. I used to be an anxiety-driven 'to-do' list organiser. (Not 'to do'=procrastination.)
Now I'm an 'in-the-zone-person'. Shopping or reading? The 'feels'=reading.
Catch-up days become energised
+I do more=less stress... pic.twitter.com/1w1yRYPMAS

In many lions, there could just be a soft toy longing for the warmth of a caring cuddle... https://t.co/EBTwBCLJ0H

There are moments in life when what appears to be ordinary reality is secretly the treasure cave of a child's wonder... https://t.co/I1yTkSGYaD

a Gothic novel kind of night...

it's a Gothic novel kind of night

waves of winds
surf the walls of the house

unnamed tappings
shufflings
scrapings
rattlings
loop and lurk

a cold moon watches from afar

unbelievably
it's been more than
two
years
of grace

tell me

are you still

stalking

my attention? pic.twitter.com/fdyjACqHqP
