Walking the edge

It is often in the spaces where nature, people, cultures and ideas come together; the edges that overlap between the two where we find the creative uniqueness and the innovation. In this blog I share some of the edges I notice and walk.

HAPPY VALENTINES
In 1992 I did my first solo trip 10 months backpacking through South America... this photo is in Tayrona National Park, near Santa Marta in northeast Colombia ... I was 24... it was the best year of my life ... so far 😉
-
- 
It seems that from that time until now, I have been, consciously and subconsciously, directly and indirectly, manifesting a life where I get to travel, have adventures, be creative and hang out with sensational people... all the time! 😃🙏🏼❤️

We CAN follow our hearts, we CAN manifest our reality and we CAN do what we love! YES, WE CAN!

What reality do you want to create? 💪🏼🔥🔥❤️
Women’s Walking & Writing Weekend - have a look! ..............................................
Do you think daily about starting/reviving that writing project? Do you need a bit of inspiration & direction? Do you simply need some time out in nature to think, explore ideas & write? .............................................
If yes, then this retreat is just for you.

Still some spots left for this beautiful weekend in the company of sensational women ... this will be our fourth writing weekend in Margaret River celebrating our joy, our strength and our creativity. -

‘How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.’

Just read this quote in @brainpicker and thought it’d be perfect to go with these awesome shots from our Night Photography Retreat in Margaret River.
If you’ve done the Cape to Cape, you probably remember this section overlooking Contos Beach... love this stretch near Bob’s Hollows where the Honey Myrtle has created a sanctuary along the  Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge which follows the limestoned contours of  the Indian Ocean blue. 
The pink on the ground are wildflowers (mainly Pimelia ferruginea).

Fairleigh, a surgeon, wore pink without knowing how good it would look!
This spectacular beach is found on the Mamang Trail on the west side of the Fitzgerald River National Park. We walk this on day 5 of our Walking with Wildflower tour. Watch out for special discounts  on Valentines Day!!🔥🔥🔥
Like our Facebook page and don’t miss out. 😊🙏🏼

Writing the River Within - with Miranda Aitken - poet, writer, songwriter, musician

June 30, 2016

It was in the summer,

 

and words were startled parrots, lost feathers in the grass

I wore Yeats' Terrible Beauty like a black band around my arm

Took my child's hand in mine, walked to the river in the heat

through the insect singing forest, to the waters slow and deep.

 

Our bodies floated in the tannins, in the blossom litter fall

Our blood cooled in the waters, I could almost hear you call

But the day was not a poem, and the river was not a song,

feathers fell in silence, and the summer kept rolling on.

Miranda Aitken, 2015
