World of Wonder
A world of wonder, shrugging demise

In a space of time, warded off eternity

Taken into moments, crystallising taste

Building worship to one another

We are gods of our own world

Legends in our own mind

Uncontrolled emotion, fusion of deception

Lies and frustrated eroticism

Madness, pure elation

Decided triumphal propensity

Towards a state of being

Suspended animation

In time of war and peace

Making all the rooms in my heart

Fear free, fear full.

Too busy to recognise

Falling into a world of wonder

Shrugging demise.

Christmas....

Christmas Eve was an adventure of American Football, running home in the snow, eating too much food, and having a walk through the ice covered city with good friends chatting.

Wow the year has truly come to an end..

When i started this blog it was March 06, and here i sit on the Eve of Christmas in a cold, beautiful Denver.. having experienced so much.. when the curtain comes down on anything in life, it causes you to reflect back and look at your accomplishments, failures, joys, disappointments.. but it also causes you to look ahead at a hopeful start.. newness and the anticipation of good things despite how your year has gone.

The biggest question i faced this year was - can i be alone with myself and truly enjoy the company i keep in the empty moments.. and i have come to a very affirmitive answer.. not because it just happened, but because i learnt great lessons in those times, and i got to know myself from the core of who i am. In my moments on aloneness i had stepped out of myself somehow and experienced the stream of life, and when i made really good, close friends, i felt the stream of life...

Two very different streams of experiences with such very different flows.. and i became my own sun-warmed rock in the centre of each stream.. not dependent on anyone, yet interwined in everyone whom i love and who love me.

I have met myself. at 31 years of age, i know who i am, my dreams and goals firmly planted and rooted in my heart.

So as a new year draws in i find myself at the end of a thread of what wants to be written, an expectation of something more.. deeper, higher greater...

and i embrace it.

Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to all...

My new life in Denver....

Upon my arrival in Denver.. i was met with mild weather, gorgeous views of the mountains, the christmas lights all around the city, the pretty horse-drawn carriages touring the city, and alot of Austrailian friends!

Its been a busy week - i have been sending out my resume, getting to know the city, attempting to drive and learn the new rules in the city, changing all my details and basically moving my whole life to the city!

Goodbye Charlotte.. its been fun...

So then this week i had a job interview, a snow storm and a divine facial.. Everything has shut down as we have waist deep snow.. i am on my way outside to attempt a snowman!!

Denver has grown on me and settled in my heart and as i await for christmas and a new year to bring in another chance at newness... i can only sigh.. what an incredible year.

I am on the brink of enjoying my last two days in Charlotte, not doing much at all, except packing, meeting friends, doing errands and NOW only finding so many things and places that could have come in really handy about a month ago! Murphy's law!

I feel quite excited about my move to Denver, anticipating the snowboarding, skiing, the mountains, the city, the snow, the cold, the cold, the cold.....

So, in this next phase of my journey where my short weekend roadtrips will be taking place in the Rocky mountains, and mostly in the West, i look forward to putting a little more speed into seeing as much as i can and savouring this experience even more.

whoooohaaaaa......
