Below is a post I wrote while living in Australia. I believe I intended to write more and that's why I never posted it but reading it now, many months later, I see it as a perfect snapshot of the time I spent on my porch in Australia.
Since then I have experienced many changes and taken pictures of many beautiful things, all of which I intend to share with you all in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
It is hard for me to convey in words just how beautiful I am finding my life. There exists a different pace of life here in Apollo Bay. Surrounded by nature on all sides, I feel a sense of calmness and space. A space that allows for a fixed state of relaxation and simply put, no worries.
As I sit here and write, the first sound I hear is the crashing of waves, the endless cycles of the ocean. As I continue to listen, the calls of various exotic (to me at least) birds, then the chirping of crickets, a single layer at first, then a second, then a third, and lastly, the light rustling of leaves in the wind.
I find it easy to enjoy life. I have absolutely nothing to worry about. Not that I have ever been a particularly worrisome person, but I still find this fact incredible. This got me thinking, when I had worries in my past what were they about and why did they occur? What were the circumstances of my life at the time? Is there truly any reason to spend time and energy worrying? No, I have decided. No there isn't.
