AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
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 / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Alive


Wandering rocks at Mornington

Rocks have crevices
Routine's not being alive
Take time to explore

Walking on rocks by the sea -- surely a great way to really BE alive.

I am inclined to agree with your thoughts on routine sucking the life out of life. I am not a fan of it myself.

Namaste.

Wise words. Sometimes we get so caught up in routine, we forget to live.
