“Never, not for a single day, do we have before us that pure space into which flowers endlessly open. Always there is World and never Nowhere without the No: that pure unseparated element which one breathes without desire and endlessly knows.”

- Rainer Maria Rilke, The Eighth Elegy.

19:12"Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place." — Rumi. (via nirvikalpa)

I cannot believe i survived 5 weeks alone in Queensland, and that it is actually over in a day! Although it almost killed me, i am proud of what i have done. I learnt alot, and not just about my profession but about life. Although i always appreciated how lucky i am, it is clear to me now just how much i love my family, friends, Daniel, my dog, and my home. I realise this is the most cliche statement, but it has never been more relevant, “There is no place like home!”

Working a six day week, unpaid is fun….

I don’t think i have ever felt like this. Being 10 hours away from everyone you love and everything you know is harder than i thought. I hadn’t really thought about this at all until now. I wasn’t prepared to feel this insecure and anxious, and now i don’t know what to do. This is one month i am happy to wish away

Today has been by far the best i have felt in a while. Considering tonight will be the first time i actually eat dinner in about 10 days, me and mum are cooking up a pork roast and caramel pie. Im going to eat my weight in these delightful culinary creations, watch the master chef finale and get into my new bed and snuggle. Contentment would be an understatement right now
