How lovely to be reminded of what lives along side of us all the time.Nature displaying, singing and telling all the stories over all of time. It's easy to get distracted, self absorbed and that word again, distracted from what is right there saying "hello" anytime I look up and pay attention. Thank you SallyX
Thank you Leonie, I know where you are is very alive with songs and stories, strange isn’t it how we spend so much time listening to stories and music from all over and tune out those which are closest to us?
Thank you for this insightful and inspiring post, Sally. If I remember correctly, you are also in the field of psychology, as am I. It is writing like yours that helps open up a deeper world of relationships with all the life and beings around us. I live in the state of New York in the US and on this land over the last 12 + years I have begun to learn that all of the beings here are relations relating, Land and Place are key to this. I also write about what I am learning in my SubStack post, Living Earthwise. I would love to have you look at it and share your wisdom and insight. Thanks, Wade
Wonderful to read your reflections on Australian seasons. I look forward to digging into some of the links you've provided. Glad that you are happy to be home in place!
Here on Maui near the coast, the forests as they shaped themselves for millennia are gone, replaced by concrete and steel and golf courses near the ocean and exotic grasses for grazing in the middle elevations. So it is hard to find many seasonal changes on the land, though one I love is happening right now, when the Northern Mockingbird takes up her most vigorous solo singing just when all the other birds finish nesting and the dawn chorus grows quiet. (Almost all the birds here are non-native.) So I'm learning to take my seasonal cues not from the land but from the water: The ocean temp is warmest right now, and I can swim very slowly, stopping to stare at the corals and fish in absorption. In another few months it will be too cold to do that. I'm learning when and where the baby fish emerge, and how long they stay around before moving on. I'm watching the limu, the seaweed, and how it emerges and disappears with the seasons. It is such an overwhelmingly complex world to get to know. I just love it. Thanks for introducing us to your Country!
