Spirit of the Community

I am Ethos
Though i do not speak with words
I speak to you in other ways

I say to you that
I am the spirit of this place
and it's people

I am the original spirit
and the spirit of now

I rise from the earth
and reach for the sun

I bring together
the old and the new

In me there is
no violence or war
only peace and reconciliation

I am the love,
peace and beauty
of this place

I give you these things
every day and always.

about last weekend

a few instagram snaps from my weekend down at the Mornington Peninsula


sweeping view from the deck of the beach house


midmorning trek


leading to the beach


an iconic Aussie boat shed hidden among the bush. so prized, some sell for upwards of $250,000 (!)

a short but sweet farewell to Summer =]
