I'm sitting with my classmates. The crisp green grass below me bends under my weight. The polka-dot dress of the girl next to me blurs into the grass as I focus on what I paper on which I write.
It's bizarre how often university drains me of life. Sadly, it's only upon occasion that I become inspired about the theoretical, as it seems to sit, unused. I much more enjoy the practical. I want to see what grows out of all that I know.
It feels I have been on ground zero for too long. I want to begin to move and create in my own sphere. But I'm happy to wait until the time is near. Until then;
Sitting in the moments, this is what I enjoy.
I like being earthed, grounded, sitting on the floor. Too often natural beauty is lost on and from us. Yet, there is a beautiful array of birds pottering around me; the hideous ibis, the small red-masked bird and it's adolescent chick. There harmony is pleasant to watch, even as the class is split by a sneaky and incredibly bold lizard comes to near.
Yet here I am, sitting safely at home and I catch myself longing to be on my own. Sadly, it is at home that the constant buzz of a constantly accessible, waiting and rearing cyber space takes up too much space. It becomes clear to me that nature and isolation seem to be independent. I clearly need to be able to switch off more. To leave the to-do's and to simply be.
Green Hills
I like this image, it takes my mind away, far into the distance, onto a peaceful path.
