Thriving in the land down under!

Australia is beautiful.
There is so much life here... the jungle isn't a place to visit on the weekend or a distant location. It's literally right outside my door.
Green is everywhere. Bright colored birds only seen in books and documentaries are commonplace.

The flowers that are mimicked by the fashion industry actually exist here. The nature that humans try to interpret and capture with art, photography, and other forms of self expression is just the norm here.

It rains all the time, bringing and sustaining life. It's always humid and moist; full of life. The sky is not a deep blue, but more of a soft periwinkle that winks at people in between breaks of clouds.
This is the stuff of story books and fairy tales... only it's real.

I love it all. The sounds, the smells, the feel of warm rain on my skin, all the sights that are much too much for me to take in at once.

New Mentality

Originality
is meant to be treasured.
Although I'm still unsure
how it should be measured.
