ETERNAL LIFE IS KIND 💎

This morning I woke up surprisingly peaceful. My breath was free. My mind was free. My heart was free. There was #clutter around the edges, but none of it seemed able to get at me.

Then someone from a Star Trek group on Mastodon sent me a message that felt like a threat. So I unfollowed the #group and blocked him. No argument. No defence.

I DON’T DO THREATS ANYMORE.

Then the morning wandered somewhere completely different.

I looked out at Lenah Valley. Sunny, about 11 or 12 degrees, the #mountain right behind us. I imagined #Hobart seventy years from now. The mountain will probably still be there, but the city may be almost unrecognisable. An AI city, perhaps. Not because AI suddenly arrives with trumpets. It is already changing things quietly underneath everything.

Then #Nepal came into the morning. That enormous wall of water, rock and ice coming down the mountain. And again, I thought about death. Everybody dies somehow, somewhere, sometime. That sounds cold until the fear drops out of it. Then it is simply true.

From there, for reasons only mornings understand, I thought about #DollyParton and #TimCurry. I saw Tim in the original #RockyHorror Show in London. I never saw Dolly live. But I loved her kindness.

And that took me to a nurse who cared for me as a little boy. I can still see her starched white uniform and the #watch pinned upside down on her chest so she could look down and read it.

She gave me kindness when I needed it, about sixty-five years ago. She is probably long dead.

But the kindness isn’t.

IT IS STILL HERE.

It travelled into relationships, things I have written and things I have said. Perhaps into people I will never know. #Kindness does not necessarily die with the person who gave it. It gets passed along.

Later, LindaCu boosted something I had written about breathwork. I used to struggle terribly with patience and #acceptance. Then I found breathwork and stopped battling myself quite so much. I learned to breathe my way out of the #monkey mind and back into something quieter.

By then, I realised I had spent the morning moving through peace, irritation, Hobart, AI, Nepal, death, Tim Curry, Dolly Parton, an old nurse, breathwork and Mastodon.

Quite a morning.

And none of it needed fixing.

✧ blue petrel ✧

The blue petrel (Halobaena caerulea) is a small seabird in the family Procellariidae, the only member of its genus. It is distributed across the Southern Ocean but breeds at only six known sites, all close to the Antarctic Convergence zone. Its plumage is predominantly blue-grey, with an "M" banding across its top, ...

WILD FOODS OF TASMANIA…
We are up in the subalpine zone of Mt Field National Park and the mountain pinkberry is in fruit.

Mountain pinkberry is one of the edible berries that make their home in the often-chilly heights of Tasmania's mountains. But you don't have to walk into the mountains to find it… you can grow out where you live by finding a Tasmanian plants nursery that stocks the shrub.

I just checked the camera at the quoll spot & am pleased to see we have a new one - this youngster. By comparing their unique spot patterns I've identified at least 21 individual spotted-tailed quolls in the three years we've lived here.

The non-flowering plants of a near-polar #forest in East #Gondwana, Tasmania, Australia, during the Early #Eocene Climatic Optimum https://bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajb2.16398

Dr. Miriam Slodownik: "This discovery offers rare insights into a time when global temperatures were much higher than today. #Tasmania was much closer to the South Pole, but the warm global #climate allowed lush forests to thrive in these regions."

A beach, wild harvest and a reptile
Story, photo and videos by Russ Grayson, December 2023

It was Jo Dean’s idea to take an early morning walk along the foreshore track.  “Good idea,” I said. So shoes and hat on and off we go. 

The foreshore track is an informal trail along the water’s edge. The tide w
