GodCreatedTheWorld,GoAndSeeIt

 i recently took a journey north

to the town of bellingen

the journey took me through a soft green landscape

where groups of trees stood knee deep in

large fields of golden light

for mile after mile

i camped near this landscape

which reminded me of a fred williams painting

in parts the landscape was growing,

the flat was flatter, the horizons wider

and the roads as if drawn with a ruler

then all of a sudden i was back in the land of the big brown paddock

 or this moody landscape

where i sat for hours contemplating

my good luck in having danced the big C out of my life

for now that is

and later the curves are back into the road

the straight roads left behind

the dead straight, emphasis on 'dead'

or the straight and narrow

an equally 'leave it behind' concept

and finding peaceful places to camp

in all a journey filled with wonder

the wonder of the ever changing vistas

from the flat to the undulating to the mountainess

and how privileged i am to be in it

to partake in its beauty

and to be continuously surprised by its aahhhh.... factor

"After each big event, take some time off"
