... i love a sunburnt country ...

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!

A stark white ring-barked forest
All tragic to the moon,
The sapphire-misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon.
Green tangle of the brushes,
Where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree-tops
And ferns the warm dark soil.

Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When sick at heart, around us,
We see the cattle die -
But then the grey clouds gather,
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady, soaking rain.

Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold -
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze.

An opal-hearted country,
A wilful, lavish land -
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand -
Though earth holds many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country
My homing thoughts will fly.

... late night piccadilly pondering ...

"The singer is old and has forgotten

Her girlhood's grief for the young soldier
Who sailed away across the ocean,
Love's brief joy and lonely sorrow:
The song is older than the singer.

The song is older than the singer.
Shaped by love and the long waiting
of women dead and long forgotten
Who sang before remembered time
To teach the unbroken heart it's sorrow.

The girl who waits for her young soldier
learns from the cadence of a song
How deep her love, how long the waiting
Sorrow is older than the heart,
Already old when love is young:
The song is older than the sorrow."

... stars when you shine ...

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens to us - Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.

Sometimes you just have to step off the edge and trust that you'll be okay.

... it feels like music ...

Choose exhilaration over comfort, 

magic over predictability and potential over safety.

Own your reality without apology.  
See goodness in the world.  

Be bold, fierce and grateful.  
Be wild, crazy and gloriously free.

Be you.

LIFE in itself is a gift!  It's a compliment just being born:  to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing, work and love for this particular lifetime!

Take time to be alone;  In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.

... fell in love in chicago ...

"What is it my dear?"
"Ah, how can we bear it?"
"Bear what?"
"This.  For so short a time.  How can we sleep this time away?"
"We can be quiet together and pretend - since it is only the beginning - that we have all the time in the world."
"And every day we shall have less.  And then none."
"Would you rather, therefore, have had nothing at all?"
"No.  This is where I have always been coming to.  Since my time began.  And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run.  But now, my love, we are here, we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere."

... living is ...

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart."

- Helen Keller

it's family and the friends you'd go to the end of the earth for.

it's love, laughter, empathy, compassion.

it's matters of the heart that make this world so small.

the best thing in life is.. living.
