Yes please, more seasonal pieces! What a beautiful, tender and human reflection! You're right, we don't need much to celebrate life even "when life moves heavy and thick" (I really loved this line! because i have been there and at times despite getting what I so dreamed of it still feels that way, sluggish, muddy and filled with so many unknowns and yet love finds a way in!)

And your pictures are so otherworldly — to have access to rivers, mountaintops, bush, forest is so foreign to me. We have to drive 1-2 hours out, and our river is surrounded by concrete but I still love it lol. Here when I hike and get to the top of the highest hill we can see swimming pools, people’s gardens and rooftops, sometimes the freeway 😅. Thank you for giving me a peek into your world. It’s gorgeous! (And that bath!!!! 😍)

Yay! Thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement. I’m so excited to do this at the conclusion of every season.

Yes! Love always finds a way in which is so beautiful 🥲 I love the way you worded that, it made me think about how grass and plants push their way through gaps in concrete.

Australia is so gorgeous and makes me feels so connected and at home. I’m so glad you could experience a glimpse of the nature here. The land definitely held me during this time and reminded me that beauty and love are always still here.

It’s so interesting to hear about your experiences in your hometown. I think I’d be so frustrated if I expended so much energy to hike up a hill and only see a freeway and houses 😅

I love that you appreciate the nature that you do have access to, I think it’s so beautiful to feel into the land even if it has been colonised, or taken over by cities and humans. I like to think about what it would have looked like hundreds of years ago.

That bathroom was the most beautiful

bathroom I’ve ever been in!! I want to live there haha.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts, I appreciate you so much. Sending you so much love 🩷🌈☁️
