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)

Pine


A calm figurine on the Main Street of coastal Mornington


A bustling main street
Wheels and feet rush for time but
Pine for just being


Linking to:
Haiku Heights - Pine

Yes. Sometimes in this modern world, living leaves no time for just being. I love that the statue in your photo sits serenely on Main Street to remind everyone.

This is why we turn to haiku. I at least find peace in it in the midst of urban noise and rush. Love this!
