The little village of Balnarring on my peninsula shines in Autumn...two close paths— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 19, 2020
beneath weeping golds
a curved portal or clear line
I choose

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

two close paths...
reduce the wants...
There is such a healing power in the waters of the sea, or lake or river...Immerse the mind and the spirit feels refreshed...reduce the wants— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 19, 2020
raise the needs
to keep body
mind and spirit

my alarm...

Shaddie definitely believes that she is responsible for getting me out of bed...Her in-built alarm clock is simply amazing...
I am not lost...
I am beginning to feel the downtime of covid-19 has a fair share of uptime...I am— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 18, 2020
not lost
and lonely
Mother Nature
has found me#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines https://t.co/WcLXzqb8AT

pendant...
Often wonder if I am closely connected to other eras in other places...Versailles often comes to mind...The closest reality I know for certain is that my father's connections involved Alsace-Lorraine...O how I love the design and colours...So wish I was tall and elegant and rich...I would wear this on a solid gold chain and ensure my long flowing dress softly echoed the colours in the pendant... But these are not the days...Still, I can dream of other worlds... https://t.co/keaTVpAWL8— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 18, 2020
(On second thoughts...I don't want to be rich permanently...Maybe just for a magic moment...I wouldn't like to miss out on or undervalue the small things that have no price tag...)
balloon and a child...
I took this photo at the 2017 Westernport Festival parade in the Hastings main street...I was intrigued by the far and away expressions on the children's faces as they held their balloon in their own way...just one balloon— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 18, 2020
in a child's hand
a magic friend
to hold close
without question#StarWrites balloon #tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/5GL6LHebAC
like a child...
Love the words...love the image...like a child finding joy in the simple rhythms of creation... https://t.co/LDC8VdUgmZ— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 18, 2020
the Wizard...
the Wizard is a traveller— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 18, 2020
he plays for hearts and souls
hungry to know that
ubuntu and namaste
still exist#vss365 ubuntu #tanka #NaTankaMo #MayTanka #5words pic.twitter.com/zyNrC0J80m
The Wizard in the image is actually Andrew Farrell. He is seen here playing at the 2017 Australia Day celebrations on Dromana's foreshore. He is a spellbinding musician, adept at any music style from classic to jazz to rock.
Muse musings...
Suddenly I seem to have lost the drive of my Muse tonight...I guess she needs a break...missing in action— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 18, 2020
possibly in some sanctuary
sleeping
perhaps I'll switch gears
and muse on alone#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines https://t.co/gf3rvlzLc9 pic.twitter.com/i5CBUwXGIF
fragile...
Today has been one of those days when energy crossed the line to numbness...PASSING THOUGHT: Sometimes exhausted, drained feelings can be like:— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 18, 2020
fragile
rice paper
prime for the art
of opaque watercolour
