Poetry

Hi, today I was reading through a whole lot of Australian poems, this is because I was recently told that soon I would be assessed on my abilities to deconstruct and analyse one. I read some well known poems as well as some that a lot of people may have never heard of. Some of my favourites included: I Still Call Australia Home and The Man From Snowy River. If you have not had the chance to read these, go head and do it now; they are truly eye opening and really get you thinking. You may find that you really enjoy reading poetry, just as I do.

I Still Call Australia Home

by Peter Allan

I've been to cities that never close down,

From New York to Rio and old London town,

But no matter how far or how wide I roam,

I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelin', and I love bein' free

So I keep leaving the sun and the sea,

But my heart lies waiting over the foam,

I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world,

Away from their families and friends.

Ah, but as the world gets older and colder,

It's good to know where your journey ends.

And someday we'll all be together once more,

When all of the ships come back to the shore.

Then I realise something that I've always known,

I still call Australia home.

No matter how far,

Or how wide I roam,

I still call Australia home.

(Yes, I know it's a song, but it is poetry set to music)

Coco

Coco Rocha...

Just a Recommendation

Hurry up and read David Michie's book, "Hurry Up and Meditate". It may just teach you a thing or two about the benefits of daily meditation. It certainly taught me a lot! I find it a bit hard to find time to meditate, however, I am most definitely working on that. This read is a 'starter kit for inner peace and better health'.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

The Hair...

I have just been browsing through the internet, having a look at some model's profiles. Here is a photo of model Masha Novoselova. I'm digging her hair, wow!

It Would Be Interesting To Know....

What is it that inspires individuals? I always find so many things, small or big, that really seem to give me courage and hope. I think it would be an interesting thing to identify - everyones different inspirations. Whether it be an article, a quote, a piece of clothing, an object, art, a shop, films, a novel... anything!
My list, honestly, would be quite long. However, I think that is definately a good thing; no matter where I am, what I'm doing, I can find something that will inspire me, or make me smile, even instantly bring back a cherished memory.

What gives you courage/hope/happiness? Perhaps, if you're unsure, it's about time you woke up and found out...

What I'm Loving

These are some great shoes, or what I also might call inspirations. I have a passion for shoes, especially those blue ones, wow! What do you think?

Enjoy,

Chanel

I spent the morning watching "Coco avant Chanel". I thought it was a nice film - perfectly inspiring yet sad. Has anyone else seen it? If so, what did you think of it?

Today I was hoping to hit the op shops, however, that plan unfortunately failed. I really want to just browse through them all, they have such character and history, that's what I love about them.
