I met Tracey and she said tobsay g'day to Alista in Berrigan (a Bowen Therapist), who has been the only man in 19yrs who given any real relief of the chronic pain she's had for 19yrs. She said to say hello & connect with Alista. I practiced my drawing using Tracey as a model… a better drawing of her cousin, i think.
Before we had finished talking, just in time to let Tracey get to her dental appointment, a lady came up and asked me to join "them" for a cuppa..
They asked me in for a cuppa and to hear what I'm doing and why. How good is that?
A Cobram group call's VAL's sewing group (Val started it 20 yrs ago; & she has the aqua jumper on in the photo; and Val stands for VERY ACTIVE LADIES)
Val said she'd come on the walk if I pulled her in my cart!
They do a bunch of sewing stuff together (like they are yarn bombing Barooga & Cobram for Christmas).
Helena with a cot quilt, & Sylvia with quilt centrepiece.

Walking over the river and into NSW, again, picking up a few more bits and pieces at a hardware store, crossed with reject shop, crossed with $2 shop. ( e.g. a plastic chain to lock the trolley up, and also, now to pull it by… then toilet stop in the botanical gardens, drink of water and off.
.
Amazing things, as this life brings about
these times where we can get to be quite frail
we don't feel strong or able, with some clout,
or that within ourselves, we could prevail.
Well, as i forward walked, i felt unsure
of many things, there's still some fear in me,
as though i'm on my own, and must endure,
but I have these ideas of what I'll be,
and what I will be able then to bear,
and fight against with realistic odds;
that's when I need to live like you are there,
or here, & I'm a little child of God's.
And join in with creation (with great love),
that seems to me to be your specialty,
the thing you like to help with, "from above".
Now I see that's the forward way for me.
Creation, not as mechanistic thing,
but as a verb, a doing word, you DO,
the action of creation is your "ring" -
your signet, since Creative Love is You.
So, just before I wrote this, I felt small,
and more squashed down, and grey, with ev'ry step,
I wondered if the embers there at all
could, by you now, be blown to flame and kept.
Then up I looked, into the West horizon,
and you reminded me of what you do.
Your specialty is growing from surprizin'
small things that are blwn and flamed by you!
First night of planned (at least semi-planned, or expected, by me)... somewhere here by the side of the road….
OLD TO NEW WORLD VIEW
Despite that science tells us "This world is
not what it seems on outside, to the feel,
with layers upon layers forming things",
I still believe that our ol' world is real.
Our scientific story tells us that
despite what we all see here (think we "know"),
there's layers of "community" which mat
together, and which interleave.. (quite so):《1》
Inside, within each body, making up
the living ones, are individu'l "cells",
or living creatures that can be corrupt-
ed, or combined to make a host where dwells
the multicelled "community" we see
that's planted right before us "on" (or "in")
our ground of being. Even you and me.
And these can be disrupted or can win!
The ways that these communities would seize
things 'round about to aid their tiny parts,
to work together: shelter, feed, and ease
their life, to bring a thriving from their starts,
are called in this Our world "to feed", & "clothe
and shelter", self or fam'ly, other lives.
The old words from Our world that covered both
are "love", & then there's "peace"- which meant "life thrives".
But smaller yet, each body that exists,
of rocks, or gasses, animals or plants;
(and irrespective of "life" tagged to its
existence as an entity, per chance..)
is made of smaller atoms, molecules,
or other things that kind of are like "seas".
But smaller yet (these aren't just words of fools)
are forces "circling", balancing with ease.
Where either particles or waves "impart"
existence to those higher levels too.
But here we haven't even made a start
on bigger things, like Galaxies and U-
ni-verse, or other categ'ries rehearsed,
like Supernova, Nebulae, and Giants,
Dwarves, and other stars that shoot and burst,
to cook up compounds, elements and ions
from which all of the rest can start to "be".
Invisible dimensions in this way
we start to understand, and maybe "see"
within our "mind's eye" - as they used to say.
But still our story makes more sense, or less
of all dimensions we've encountered here,
since we were born - to order and to mess,
with this ol' world. - And this is where I cheer
myself as I move on, and others too.
The world we "started" in, that let us learn
about dimensions and these worlds that you
have just now been reminded of, don't spearn!
The story that's apparent: God made this
whole world with more dimensions than you'd poke
at with a stick, does not seem so remiss
and starts to look less like it was a joke!
"The best is yet to come", as AA found
in fact, through living in this re-al world.
And there's a higher power hanging round
to see if we would reach out and be curled
within the love of biggest Dad, or Mum,
and let the Great Creator's fam-il-y
look after us and grow us, and then some..
towards more of a nature that is free
to love back, as we have ourselves been loved.
And that's why most religions in this world
admire, and think good-life was surely gloved
within the life, that we have mostly hurled
our insults at, and blamed him for our faults
and misdemeanours, laziness, and such.
It's him I would commend to you. Us dolts,
we killed the model human God loved much -
the second Adarm (and would kill his Eve,
that God brings from him while he's "not around").
In jealousy and ignorance, we'd weave
a net to catch them yet, like beasts been found
and named. So if you ask me to I'll tell
the story of the glory of God "THERE",
who loves his kids, and wants them to do well,
take on creative love, and learn to share.
