I was scrolling through old images and found this one. It brought back such a rush of pleasure, it was a real challenge at the time.

Not exactly a relaxing late night thought, but one worth having. . My initial responses were about me, my art, my writing. A kind of knee-jerk, goal setting reaction. . Then I began to think about everything happening in the world, about climate, justice, equality, elections, pandemics, food and water, education, health care, biodiversity... . I would change so many things. . Can we? Can we even really imagine a better way to be? . #lifejourney #lifequestions #futuregoals #futureself #climateemergency #biodiversity #health #education #utopia #dystopia #personalpower

"This beach is carpeted with shells, worn thin and smooth by how many waves, how many years? the Normans who walked here might have turned them in their hands as I do. I lift my gaze, staring out past the beat of the surf while hidden histories whisper on the salty air." . I visited here on Monday, extraordinary sense of history, a Norman castle, a 13th century chapel, ancient oaks long fallen but still alive... . #poetsofig #naturepoetry #natureconnection #tinypoems #shortpoems #poetsofinstagram #seashells #selseybeach #simplepoetry #shortpoem

Inspiration moves in the night Neurons firing like lightening, Like guns across my starboard bows, Changing my tack. On gravel banks, the wrecks of other ideas Are submerged by the rising tide. This ship will float. I am sure of it. . #poetsofig #inspiration #poetsofinstagram #yycpoet #yycwriters #amwritingpoetry #poemsaboutlife #creativity #creativeexpression #digitalcollage #digitalsketchbook
