We wander through life so locked in defense it becomes ‘normal’. Such that only through its absence do we even know it’s there. Those blissful moments you happen upon, are glimpses of your natural state. Pure you, the freedom of not wearing your yesterdays as a suit of armour.
Another morning of nature’s example, vulnerable yet invincible. Stripped back bare and calling to us. A patient reminder we too are all that perfection. Showing faith that we shall remember and, in an instant’s reconnection, once again need only wear that same perfection.
Gaze upon the free horizon. Cross the distance with a single knowing that freedom is already right here within, only a heartbeat away. Now step into the wild delight of your bliss.
Feel it, it’s yours, you make it happen, for you.

It was 18.8.
Beautiful thoughts Andrew. As always. And those stunning photos made up for the lack of toilet humour. Almost.

did anyone notice the pre-dawn wind?
Under the doona I was wondering about the wind gusts (BOM data, Nth Head):
05.00 43 km/h
05.30 43
05.43 69
06.00 74
06.30 43
07.00 30
07.30 30
at 8 am beside the surf club roller door it was 0 km/h, sunny and beautiful!
