On the run
I'm always doing a million things at once, always on the go,
but if I see something interesting, I'll be sure to let you know.
Endings
My beautiful bird,
if I set you free
then you must fly away.
Don’t be tempted to land again—
rise up and be beautiful.
Shine in the sunlight
so I can let you go.

“When we walk away, we only grow more near
When we turn away, it all becomes so clear
This unavoidable thing, joining us”
A great day at the races! Brisbane Kokoda Challenge 2013, 30 km of the hills of hell with my team mate, Mandy-Lee Noble. (She’s in shorts.)
Questioning love
Three questions I must ask myself every day:
- Do I love you?
- Do I respect you?
- Do I trust you?
If I answer no to any of the above, I will move on.
I suspect there are two reasons why I wouldn’t trust someone: because they are not trustworthy, or because I am not trustworthy. I believe the same also applies for respect.
But everyone can be loved, surely…
Trip on Love – Abra Moore
I let my guard down in the momentary lapse of emotion
And it just slipped out and we both knew my heart could be broken
And I said something I never intended to say
You stopped laughing and I said, “Do you feel alone in that way?”
Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone, do you make it tragic?
If you feel too much, do you start to panic?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
I just stood there, I’d expected another reaction
Out of thin air came the strangest sense of satisfaction
Can you tell me how you see me so well?
If you help me, would you let me see that part of yourself?
Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone, do you make it tragic?
When you feel too much, do you start to panic?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
Where do we go?
Do we say this means less than we know it does?
Please tell me
Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone, do you make it tragic?
When you feel too much, do you start to panic?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
Don’t you wanna love me no more?
I just wanna love you some more

Throw out the map you made for life
We’ll never know the future, so just close your eyes and dive
— Run Away, by Evermore
“Perfectionism is a cage that has captured our happiness and won’t let it out.”
Blind Rapture: Hand (2004)
Just read it, okay?
Calm (2004)
To love without question
And to feel with no regret
Is the sweetest taste of life.
It’s been quiet today,
So quiet.
No thoughts have rushed in
To confuse me
And cloud what I know to be true.
The facts have rested,
Settled in,
And I have grown accustomed to their presence.
The pain is but a whisper,
Drowned out by the rapturous cries of life.
This is how it feels
To be free.
