Succeed!
What does it mean to achieve to think and feel to love and grieve? what does it say when we believe to have faith and strive to see? but when one’s blind is all lost? or are other senses used to find what otherwise will ne’er be gained unless with patience we refrain from sudden […]

Eumundi
I felt relieved I was no longer On the freeway. Happy, too, that I’d left Traffic lights behind. In two hours I’d gone from a gold coast To adventure. The sunshine was my GPS – I’d peeled away life’s rind. ‘We love our kids, we love our town, please slow down’ Read the sign. […]
