St Kilda Afternoon Nap

Nothing better than being at the beach with friends with a green blanket & picnic rug, poi pois, darabuka drums, a second-hand book and time...
Why is everyone laughing at us?

Firetwirling

Twilight time in the northern gardens, kindred spirits unite...trees embrace us...tribal beat ignite our desires...fire circles light up our dreams...

Underground Gypsy nights ...

Underground Gypsy nights...we gather around the fire; swirl with the smoke and to the music; dream under the bridge, stars and moon. A secret hushed in the dark...lost time and space...recovered by instinct. A flower merchant's love broken on the dirt ground...hope is gone...then picked up with compassion and tenderness. Thoughts soar...Hearts throb...Ground quivers...Bodies entwine...Trees sway...Souls free...
