We do indeed live in a beautiful world. The only "news" i read is Only Good News Daily and each edition usually finishes with a short video of something in nature. Sharks are my favourite things to see when I am snorkelling. My reasons for not wanting to visit Australia are nothing to do with the natural world there which I am sure is stunning. But more to do with my (possibly flawed) belief that they are more misogynistic and homophobic than other countries. Plus, they have an appalling record of how they deal with refugees and asylum seekers. I know people joke about Australia being filled with the descendants of criminals. But they forget to include that there will be a hefty dose of descendants of prison guards. I'm probably being desperately unfair. Sometimes intuition is just intuition and I can't explain it. I get the sense of returning to the womb wherever i swim in the ocean. i think i am probably happier in water than anywhere else. I know you have a profound sense of respect for all of nature and the creatures we are so fortunate to be sharing this planet with. I'm with you every step of the way. Sorry if this is all a bit disjointed. The reason will be clearer when I publish the story i have scheduled for Monday. WARNING: it isn't funny! But I'm ok. And hope you are too. xxx💚💚💚
