Clear night skies, a sparkling sight
Dig In – 27th November 2022
The roots have grown
The longer you stay
The harder it is to leave
Now time has shown
That along the way
You’ve found what you believe
The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor.
Voltaire
Today I’m feeling:
Relaxed and lazy
Today I’m grateful for:
The fisherman who caught the prawns I ate, somewhere far away. Shipped them to shore, then the factory workers who prepared them and packaged them and the drivers who delivered them.
The best thing about today was:
Enjoying ice cream and snacks after a weed gummy. It’s hard to stop eating!
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
I could tell Amy was getting a little irritable around lunch time so I just laughed and joked a little and not getting sucked into an argument over nothing. She quickly lightened up and everything was normal again. These situations can quickly go out of control when I don’t handle them well.
In what ways have you observed balance in nature or in the universe?
Looking at mountains, staring at the sea. I see balance in nature when there are no humans around and I become a ghost, an observer but only as a memory. Looking up at the stars and the moon, being grateful for this very specific role I have been given.
Love Is Blind – 27th September 2022
Humbled to be the guide
The servant, the pupil
Heart soaring at every breath
And pluck of the string
Blind to her own beauty
Yet knowing it’s there
Seen by others without
Seen by one within
As the pale skin burns
He plucked out his eyes
So as never to forget
In his dreams, she is seen
Two united by cruelty
As ease in love, together
The lark and nightingale sing
Until they ascend the clouds
Inspired by A Portrait of Shunkin by Junichiro Tanizaki

Like so many Americans, she was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops.
from Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut
Today I’m feeling:
A little bored and tired.
Today I’m grateful for:
For the bananas that grew in the garden and fed me this afternoon. I don’t know why but it still delights me to be able to grow something and then eat it!
The best thing about today was:
Talking to Amy and discussing some future plans. She’s currently thinking she may move back here on my next visa extension which is great but I want her to have something to keep her occupied when she’s here so she doesn’t overthink things with so much free time.
Pot Of Gold – 3rd September 2022
We’re acting our age, growing up
Got our emotions under control
The highs and lows have come and gone
And we’re finally feeling whole
We’re no longer chasing rainbows
We know what’s at their end
The pot of gold is here and now
With a lifetime left to spend
Beware of those who seek constant crowds; they are nothing alone.
Charles Bukowski
Today I’m grateful for:
Amy’s parents for delivering me food and fruit this morning. I was sleeping and I found it with surprise at our door.
The best thing about today was:
Watching Sydney play a fantastic game of football that was tense and exciting.
