7:15am breaky and a bible reading with my hosts, Phil & Fiona.
8:10am, out on the road. Get some provisions.
9:00am heading out of town.
.
I got to do some texting and phonecalls with old friends from 45years ago, and more recently too. Lovely to have time for catching up.
And I start listening to that book on War of words, by Paul David Tripp (Audible). Sounds like it'll be good for me.
Got about 12km (so with the trolley I am doing about 4km/ hr.), then had a break about noon. Plan to be up and head off again by 1pm.
.
Shoulders are sore, possibly from pulling the trolley. Hope I haven't pulled a muscle or something. (Creative love please help me out with this). We'll see.
.
At Ashley, Peter (a welder and prof. Shooter etc.) called out from his home, to see if I needed water, then offered me a spot to stay for the night. So I left my trolley in his yard, then he'll pick me up tonight on his way home, and drop me off on the road to Garah tomorrow. It might even work to drop off my trolley at Garah in the morning, and drop me off where I got to on Wednesday.
Another ute drove past & did a U-ey to come back and check if I'd like a lift.
Clair & Peter, offered a lift to Garah.
Pete and his son Callum picked me up around 7pm from the road. Travelling without the trolley and in the cool of the evening meant that I made about 34km today. An amazing day. Pete & Callum had dropped of some pig traps, and then Pete had shot a 74kg boar, & it was on the back of the ute. We dropped it off at the chiller,

Pete filled out all the paperwork, and we went home for drinks, showers, dinner and bed! Thanks Peter & Callum.
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.
