Watched a programme on SBS regarding so many indigenous 'trophies' in overseas museums or galleries and the current push to get them returned to their homeland.
This poem emerged from my response to the programme.

Soulmates are precious beings that break down age barriers...Sometimes both beings may in fact be old soul mates...
Sometimes a soulmate may transform into a life partner...But there are others...
There's the soulmate in the work place...but not really suitable for daily life outside the workplace...
Meeting in common interest areas can cultivate a soulmate...
It is possible to meet more than one soulmate in a single lifetime...often appearing to spark a momentary sense of creative connection beyond earthly realms...
Sometimes, soulmates just meet for a flicker of time...and then move on...separately...

a piece of road leads to a piece of space miming a piece of silence #haiku #micropoetry #silence

Today, using my walker, I wandered across the railway line to a part of Temora I had hardly explored. The morning was hot ..30 degrees and climbing.
But I was on a mission...beyond exploring. I wanted to to visit one venue on the Temora Art Trail scheduled for this weekend.
Without a car, that made life challenging. Crossing a railway line with a walker via a dirt track, was ultra challenging. (And don't forget the heat revving up its engines by this time.)
But with a number of stops in the welcome shade of trees along the way, I made it in one piece to my venue. The 15 minute walk took me half an hour, but I made use of the stops. I used this cooling down time to repress heat discomfort and quietly take photos; to appreciate the glorious silence.
