rod and mum are out picking onion and pumpkin from the garden for me to make soup. finally indulging my baking desires, with apple & cinnamon muffins today (fresh eggs straight from the hens), and chocolate last week. the hills look incredible at this time of evening, deep misty blue, with ominous dark clouds scurrying over the top.

it's been a week of wildlife - spotted an echidna on our walk yesterday, wallaby staring pensively at me from the dam, dragon lizard on the path, and the best of all - whale spouts large and small in the ocean from bermagui headlands, with a flash of glistening black tail.

almost coping with being grounded again - something very comforting about mum's collection of measuring cups I remember from childhood. flour 8 oz, brown sugar, rice, lentils - all the ingredients at different heights. althouth this could be it for domestic bliss for a while, realised that I feel most alive in flight, between places and just after arriving.

not very conducive for a stable life, is it :)
anyway, needed to fall apart for a while, now finally knitting together the unruly threads of my unravelled self back into some kind of shape.

someone quoted Plato in the sunday paper, saying 'you become what you love.' I guess that makes me a bridge...
