Connecting moments in my peninsula world, my Australia and beyond...Whatever speaks to my thalassophile soul in these tidal days...
The leader, the inside spin sipping tea or coffee, empty streets by night light, the eye, the bridge, the dark street curving to an unknown and the final long darkness...A powerful glimpse of current inner worlds... https://t.co/ziLkKhKUGH— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) April 23, 2020

Great words by Lauren Myracle... So great, that Amazon is selling T shirts and even a sign for the home wall with this quote. Strangely, fame doesn't connect with when or where this quote was actually written. I have Googled it with no luck... https://t.co/ilnGCg0Dey— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) April 23, 2020

A tree standing together with you;
Our roots closely intertwined beneath the earth,
Our leaves touching in the clouds.
With every whiff of wind

But no one can
Understand our words. - Shu Ting 'To The Oak' (extract) https://t.co/pFMJGb5FoT

After 3 days of online teaching 6 large classes of Years 7-10, I was wiped out...Huge amount of time spent checking that each student had a Google docs (linked with me) so I could view progress. English + Humanities programmes completely overhauled. Marking? Yet to be resolved.— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) April 19, 2020
