Beauty is what keeps me sane. To see beauty is a gift to all that created life.

Thank you. It was a quick impression of an Olsen inspired frog since I couldn’t find one from the great man in the public domain. I appreciate your compliment.

The kookaburra metaphor landed hard. Creating from joy instead of survival really does change everything.

Beautiful read. Really enjoyed it. 🙏

Thanks Gav. Awfully kind of you, if there is one message to take creating from joy is top shelf. I can’t help but notice, even in your comments you’re applying your own methods. You are a model of discipline.

Thanks, Dean. That line came straight from what your piece stirred up. And if a bit of discipline’s sneaking into the comments, I’ll take that as a good sign 😊. Always grateful for your work and how you make space for meaning.

Harshil, I don’t think I could imagine a higher compliment. I’m afraid I don’t think I can tell you how much your kind words mean to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏🏼

The planet dreaming through you. Sentences like this make me want to curl up on a cozy pad & never stop listening/reading.

Your words are full of beauty Dean.
