This is shaping up to be a year of new chapters in the lives of those close to me. Today, I'm going on a one-week interstate holiday. In the next few days, I'll be celebrating my cousin's wedding and embracing my sister's new baby.
In contrast, this has been a fairly stagnant year for me... but I feel that I am on the verge of a breakthrough.
The photos in this post were taken a long time ago. I never found a place for them, but I found it fitting to include them here today. The way the light falls upon the upward-reaching apricot leaves. A sweet potato that looks like it's inching forwards in search of a delicious destiny.
I have plans and wishes for the future. They are not coming together yet, but I can almost see them fall into place, piece by piece, gradually, over the next year or so. And I hope the results will be tasty and satisfying for the soul. I know it's a little cryptic at this point, but I will try to divulge more as I make progress. Promise!
But for now, off to Sydney and Canberra, to be with wonderful people, to chat, to laugh, to reminisce, to celebrate, and yes, to eat and to drink. I'll be back in about a week with pictures and stories - see you then.

It's wonderful when you're working towards making a dream come true - no matter how tedious and slow and impractical it seems at times. Good luck!
ReplyDeletei have had such a turbulant two months that i would loooove some stagnation :-) having said that, moving towards your dreams, especially those that satisfy your soul, is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're at a very interesting stage of your life, Leaf. No matter what happens, I'm sure your kind, gentle and approachable spirit will take you further in life than you would've imagined. You've definitely touched a lot of lives in the past (including mine) and will continue to do so in so many ways in the future. Cheers to the future!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the trip, dear. Let life grow and embrace all the unexpected and wonderful opportunities coming your way. I've been at a turning point before - we all have - and wow, did those changes overturn everything in the most positive way possible. Can't wait to see how things turn out for you!
