They came home on my back from the remnant rainforest at Eprapah, and stayed.
That was years ago and there’s plenty of space for them in the garden.
Beautiful little things, to look at. The colours, the form.
Thinking about them … I don’t do that.

Somewhere To Live …

… looking for.
Not these guys. They live where they land, where they fly, wherever they happen to be.
That’s life living in nature, not a care in the world. And such a dangerous place too.
And so much survives long enough it all goes on, and on. For now.
For now. Because things are changing, nature is changing …

There’s a sedative bush in the garden that these little creatures just love to death.

Life, love, death …
Love, death, life …
Death, life, love …

Everything is of value to something else.
It’s just a matter of perspective.
The bigger picture reveals.
And so we travel.

I once swore I would never use this blog to promote anything but clarity or peace of mind through the sense and wonder of nature and meditation, but rules must be broken if we are to be free of the prisons we build for ourselves.
So go ahead, check out the links above if you’re interested in a couple of people who have lightly touched my life recently.
Or not … :-)
