So, I have a friend who rides a see-saw life. Sometimes, the see-saw will ride high. When they’re up there, they tell me that the sky-view is limitless and it fuels the inspiration for their amazing dreams. When the bounce of life’s see-saw lifts my friend up, their visions are vivid and easily shared. Seeds …
So, I fell out of love with football when I was 8 years old. Back then, football was a Saturday afternoon thing. We parked our car on the boundary-line and I would watch my dad play across the hilly grounds of the outer eastern suburbs. Watching was a loose word. Really, I climbed willow trees …
So, sometimes life will ask you to harden yourself up. Maybe it might take something from you so that you remember love is fragile. Or maybe it might put something forwards so that you remember time can too easily be lost. And sometimes it may remind you that not everyone is going to see things …
So, if there was ever a ladder around, I would be the first to try and climb it. When I was a runner, I was always looking for another set of stairs. When I was a swimmer, I was always looking for another kilometre to swim. When I’m on the mat, I’m always looking for …
So, my father-in-law has always said a week at the snow is like taking a month off life. Neither my shins, nor my bank manager, would speak to me if we had a week away on the ski slopes. So we settled on 3 days of white wonder. Plenty enough time to let us all …
So, my lover is my biggest cheer-leader. It’s such a gift to have someone cheering on your team. And for as long as I can remember, my lover has been cheering on mine. He told me I could study harder and I duxed. He told me that I could leave and I flew far. He …
So, I can home last week to a structured, ordered and clean life. My lover and I had been granted a week’s leave pass. An international one at that. It had been granted to us by my mum and dad who even though it was mid-winter and even though they were due for their northern …
So, yesterday my brother-in-law put on a smile and went for a swim. I’m told the waves were pretty big. Dark and heavy clouds reflected from across the sky chopping the water all up in grey. As for my brother-in-law, well, he’s not really much of a swimmer. So he’s been cutting local pool laps …
So, my lover lay next to me last night and asked me what it is that I want. It was as if he was asking the question through my very skin. Like he knew I had squeezed my eyes closed while he directed the words straight into my soul. It’s not the first time he’s …
So, I didn’t want to be brave on Tuesday. Even though we were only 1 school night down, by Tuesday – I’d had enough of the week. Recently, I’d dared myself not only to name, but to believe my deepest dreams. I’d been challenging myself to stand up strong and ride my life with abandon …
