Spirit of Tasmania

Spirit of Tasmania as it passed Dromana beach on Australia Day yesterday.
It amazes me how the name of the boat reflects in the water and can be seen from a distance.

About Me

Gemma Wiseman aka Pamela Adams: I've been a creative writer ever since I was old enough to hold a pen. These days, it's the keyboard and I, every morning with coffee, and we spill out poetic wonders. Later in the day, maybe there is some time to indulge in other genres...usually a school holiday treat...Have I been published ...??? in British school activity books, my notes+creative suggestions accompanying videos for schools (also British+an annual U.S. collection of poetry...Have I been interviewed?...online by a writer in Ontario, now living in BC and a writing group in New York... I even wrote a play - 'Riff Raff', in tandem with another Victorian high school teacher. The play toured several schools in Queensland...That teacher now writes one act plays annually. Have I entered competitions?...Yes...+ won a Hanimax camera plus accessories when I was 12... Do I seek untold fame and fortune? No... I just would like to be noticed and valued, making a difference to someone's life; someone who may have just stumbled across my work... Currently I am retired and guide a U3A writing group plus dabble in encouraging teenagers to explore their inner selves through their writing. P.S. I believe in miracles.

water does not resist...

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Let the mountains talk...

Let the mountains talk, let the river run
There's a wisdom here, there is much to learn
There's much to know, much to understand
In this healing time all across the land

You have heard my songs, oh so many years
You have left with me, washed away my tears
You have shared my joy, you have felt my pain
In this healing time, walk with me again

Through these darker days on this narrow line
Help me find my way, help me see the signs
I am not afraid, I am not alone
You have taught me well, you have brought me home

Let the mountain speak, let the rivers run
As the world awakes to the rising sun
In each brand new day, in our own rebirth
In this healing time on our mother earth

Let the mountains talk, let the rivers run
There is wisdom here, there's so much to learn
In each brand new day, in our own rebirth
In this healing time for our mother earth
In each brand new day, in our own rebirth
In this healing time, here on mother earth

John Denver - "Healing Time"
