~ Matsuo Basho
Lulworth, Thursday, Pt.1
“Sometimes just being on a beach with my loved ones is all the adventure I need. I am a happy camper and continue to be a citizen of the world. I have yet to discover other cultures, other peoples’ dreams and treasures. I will always be a traveler who is discovering beautiful Gaia.”
~ Guy Laliberte
Like a Lion
“Come out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.”
~ Osho
One’s eyes
“The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one’s eyes.”
~ George Sand
Articulation
“For Jane Austen and the readers of Pride and Prejudice, as for Mr. Darcy, [Elizabeth Bennett’s] solitary walks express the independence that literally takes the heroine out of the social sphere of the houses and their inhabitants, into a larger, lonelier world where she is free to think: walking articulates both physical and mental freedom.”
~ Rebecca Solnit
A Droving we will go
“For the drover’s life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know.”
~ Banjo Paterson
A Dog’s View: Whilst not enjoying the energetic expansiveness of adventure that my buddy Ralph is experiencing in old blighty or being soothed with wise counsel, advice, perhaps a session of hypnotherapy by my other buddy Magic. Here I am at my physiotherapist Marie’s property, knowing that if they’d let me of this leash that the potential for droving would be not inconsiderable. Still tomorrow being another day I’ve been promised a trip to Evandale, there to man a stall and possibly receive a multitude of appreciation and pats. Will keep you posted.
Elegance
“Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.”
~ Paulo Coelho
Courage
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
~ Winston S. Churchill
Halfway
“The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.”
~ Michael Pollan
