Footsteps releasing scents of wild chamomile on a walk to an old church seems like a feast of happiness for the senses...grounded— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 12, 2020

where wild chamomile grows...
struggling...
I like to feel I make some sense at least to me... In recent days, I cannot find too much evidence of that sense... But I'll keep searching...I'm struggling to make any sense of myself. I'm still running remote learning. Constant screen connection + zillions of emails=not a life. I don't know or like this me. I refuse though to sink to depression. Having a bad moment now - should be doing lessons - temporary escape.— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 12, 2020
assumptions and life choices...
We never can really build positive relationships unless we are willing to respect others' life choices. Who are we to think that one life choice is automatically superior to another? We need to separate the concept of life choices from the tag 'errors of judgment'. They are not synonymous. And the 'error of judgment' ultimately is only valid to the individual responsible for a thought or action.Assumptions - especially misguided assumptions - can be the death knell for assimilation of any kind. The life choices we make do not forbid us from accepting the right of others to make life choices. One life choice is not superior; one does not automatically damn another. https://t.co/yFNnalhmR1— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 11, 2020

gentle waters
appeal to secrets
willing the inner child

train and plane...
Unique 'T-intersection'. Google says Gibraltar has a runway which crosses an active road (which, due to the peninsula’s geography, happens to be the main road connecting Spain and Gibraltar, thus bringing traffic between the two to a halt whenever the runway is in use). https://t.co/OcY7pWx94P— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 11, 2020
connections and gratitude...
PASSING THOUGHT: Somedays, it feels my only connection with people is a Twitter 'like' or 'retweet'. It's tough being older + continuing a remote learning scenario. But then gratitude kicks in. I'm lucky to have a job still. I'm lucky that some like my poetry and ramblings.— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 11, 2020
