no man is an island sprang to mind as read this piece.

nature is a gift and a balm, while i know this and never regret any time spent present in it, the shiny, bright, alluring pull of the artificial world is so strong. some days i am exhausted from the mental battle of resistence, existence is always shared and must be shared for the future existence of those yet to come.

Yes absolutely, must continue to be shared, must continue to remember it is shared, that we share this place…

Lovely reflections of your family adventure Lucinda. I was moved by your comparison of the land with modern farming practices pressing upon it and our children with modern technology pressing into their lives.

Beautiful writing Lucinda. Gariwerd is high on my list of places to explore and you've beautifully captured it's essence with your words. Hoping you have eased into this new week and that you can find lots of outdoor moments throughout this final stretch of the year. This weather is something else right now 💛
