“Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?”
~ Leonardo da Vinci
Vast Marvel
“For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive.
I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth, my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea.”
~ D.H. Lawrence
Saturday Night Slideshow
Dawg’s Comment: Wishing my buddy Ralph a safe and comfortable flight. Tonights slideshow is from one of my favourite beach spots Lulworth, I feel it necessary to make comment on the over abundant roadkill on the ways there and back. My people managed to slow down for slow moving birds, rabbits, a wallaby and two wombats, hey, it’s their planet too!
Territory
“When you’re a cartographer, having to make maps sort of comes with the territory.”

Dawg Today: Meandering around the waterways and parklands of the Meander Valley…scentilicious!
Word
“The word is always a word for others. Words need to be heard. When we give words to what we are living, these words need to be received and responded to. A speaker needs a listener. A writer needs a reader.
When the flesh – the lived human experience – becomes word, community can develop. When we say, ‘Let me tell you what we saw. Come and listen to what we did. Sit down and let me explain to you what happened to us.
Wait until you hear whom we met,’ we call people together and make our
lives into lives for others. The word brings us together and calls us
into community. When the flesh becomes word, our bodies become part of
a body of people.”
~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Dawg’s View: Unseemly hot Sunday at Evandale Market. Many Pats and compliments, all greatfully received.
