I made my first mask on 13th August 2020. It became my favourite & when we arrived home from our holiday, September 2nd 2022, I was really saddened to discover I had lost it. Officially i no longer need it. Can't help thinking of the various 'comfies' we carry throughout our lives. The sense of safety & calm they bring us doesn't need to be explained, especially if they do no harm to others. We had planned for a trip to Australia in 2020. We changed plans. We changed destinations. We went north, up to Cairns & Port Douglas. My god it felt so good to be anonymous to be unreachable to hear multiple languages to not be able to understand nor even need to to be languid to be warm to see the sunrise at 6am to hear the birds to see people smiling to see the families to be with my family to be part of something & simultaneously totally separate to be exhausted by the newness, the noise, the kilometres walked, the over eating to sleep deeply without dreams without waking in the night to wake & feel free to feel calm to feel happy to feel alive to live in the now knowing there will be no interruption no distraction nothing to do except be present I love Australia
My heart melts with love the moment we cross the coastline to arrive & melts with sadness the moment we cross the coastline to leave |
