an amazing walk...

.


only 15 minutes
that walk from work to uni
but it was a precious 15 minutes
i imagined that i had someone by the hand who couldn't see the little pieces of perfect beauty which are everywhere
and as i walked i showed them. pointed them out.
i could feel their heart expand.
it was a way of opening and shining a light into my own blindness.

as i walked up the hill
the afternoon light was orange golden
it rippled over the fallen autumn leaves
a hillside of cascading light and leaves

the light at the top of the hill made the sky vivid blue
the lawns became lime green
trees framed the views perfectly
my shadow fell solid on the earth
and everything was perfect

the alternative me...

.


i made my little alternative self with one of those cute generators ~ you can do yours here!

i ended up looking like a peaced out swedish hippy called inga
who likes to yodel in her spare time.

totally accurate
:)

inga ~ my double ~ if you are out there,
drop me a line.
i have a feeling we'd have a lot in common.

chris has made up inga's family ~ she has a wee dog called spoof and a handsome boyfriend called yon. one big happy yodelling swedish family.

My day in pictures...

my parents~in~law are here on holidays.
we wander canberra.

i muse at the bark uncurling from the tree. the way the light refracts through.



a cockatoo flicks overhead in the blue heavens



outside parliament house, the grass is lush and green.



i lay in the grass. my partner and his father wander away to have boys talk.



his mother remains with me, doing her own slow whirly gig dance. she is oblivious to my camera.







later, we sit by the lake.
now it is my turn to be oblivious to the camera.



my day in pictures.
filled with light and composition.
thoughts and energy.
lush grass, blue skies, and a quiet lake.

i bought a new set of cards ~
GODDESS cards by susan seddon boulet



tonight, with a rose scented candle glowing,
my father in law asks for a goddess card.
there is four of us sitting at the table.
i across from my father in law
chris across from his mother.
yin yang
balance
beltaine's union of feminine and masculine.

i shuffle the cards for my father in law.
VENUS. Goddess of love.



he shuffles the cards for me.
VENUS again.

We roar with laughter. Kindred folk.

chris shuffles the cards for his mother.

CHANGING WOMAN.

A native american goddess.

she smiles. it is the one she had chosen in her heart.

she shuffles for him.

another native american goddess.

he reads:

white shell woman is the younger version of changing woman.

laughter again. knowing smiles and glances. they are kindred folk.

and thus.... how our day begins. it peaks, it wanes. and now it softly whispers away into night.

love,
leonie
