real society levels...

PASSING THOUGHT: Could it be that there are only 2 real tiers in society...those with soul and those without. And movement between the 2 levels is fluid, dependent on will. Circumstance is a pressure, but not necessarily a reliable factor in determining status.

hurkle-durkling...

My favourite word for the day must be 'hurkle-durkling'...It sounds like the vague zone of lounging around past an alarm with a guilty wave at the bustle and hustle that should be happening...Delicious brew of sight and sound mixed messages... https://t.co/2nYTUR7yYI

floating Bangladesh veggie gardens...

It is also amazing how these Bangladesh islands can be made...Aquatic weeds + mature water hyacinth or paddy straw or any organic materials such as bamboo or old rope can form a raft...The rafts are about a metre deep, 8 metres long and 2 metres wide... https://t.co/r7jRIbjJsr https://t.co/k817yGfbE2 pic.twitter.com/0OLOyKSzSn

butterfly brigade...

Glenagra Station, near Kynuna in outback Queensland, celebrates the birth of a few hundred butterflies...They are a welcome relief after experiencing years of drought, until 2019 floods, and seeing the disappearance of wildlife... https://t.co/i3Wo6EJus6 pic.twitter.com/ZAIh7Twxm0

in grudging praise of duties...

PASSING THOUGHT: Duties have a nasty habit of interfering with creative time... But then, duties can be an unexpected inspiration... A passing word, a passing thought suddenly provide a missing link you may not have realised was missing...That 'aha' moment...

Sturt's Desert Pea...

Sturt's Desert Pea, floral emblem of South Australia, grows in arid central and Western Australia, often as an ephemeral after heavy rain. Some Koori groups call it the 'Flower of Blood'.

in the far mists
some trees
softly crimp
rolling slopes but
autumn reds are near
