ah yes, we can't have the highs without the lows huh?.. it makes sense but with the world focused on 'putting our happy faces on' (Strictly Ballroom quote), we have few role models leading the way on the off days/ weeks/ years. i find nature in all her glory never fails to lift me up, only living next to and rehabilitating our part of the Merri creek, I see nature struggling to make sence of the tiramasu of landfill created by 'colonial progress'. so when the bigger picture reality of who we are and how we came to be hits hard, i seek magical moments of human kindness in a strangers' smile (often with a hint of surprise as I wear rainbow eyeshadow that never fails to impress the good ones)- the light is always more powerful than the darkness.
Other creatives inspire me. Thinking of my father’s mother, how she struggled alone with 4 children after her husband died, that keeps me going. And my best friend, he believes in me.
