1 " There comes a time for healing
no matter how broken you are right now;
no matter how heavy your heart is right now.
There comes a time when you will go outside
and let the sun shine on your face
and let the wind touch your hair
and you will not be tired by just simply being awake.
There comes a time when you will be happy to be alive again
and that day you will appreciate your own being
because now you know the other side.
Now you know the opposite.
Now you know what it’s like to not be sure if you really are; who
you really are;
if you simply are, anymore.
And that day
will be the beginning of everything. "

― Charlotte Eriksson , Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

2 " People say the beach is the great equaliser
Who are they kidding?
Sit at Bondi and watch the boys flex
And the girls walk bolt upright
It looks like a nightmare episode of Baywatch.
The true equaliser is the mountain cold
And stacks of cold flung together
Maybe then we’d listen to what each other is saying
Instead of checking out the best bods.

And as I wrap another layer
Around my Size 10
I think of Jack’s favourite saying:
“today’s tan is tomorrow’s cancer”

I walk outside
And whistle at the wind. "
