My happiness
Aug. 13th, 2004 07:01 amYesterday during the first lecture we were shown some slides of the varying plant life of Western Australia. The lecturer warned us that he might get a little overexcited and everyone laughed.
But he's right, the beauty and variation are just stunning. Such biodiversity evolved because it's had millions upon millions of years to evolve and has to adapt to such harsh conditions. The range of adaptations is amazing.
And I found myself yearning. Seeing pictures of the magnificent karri forests down south, and that endless spinefex plain up north. I NEED to travel again. I NEED to get back into nature. I really NEED to travel north again, last time I was up there was 1996, it's been WAY too long.
I honestly feel complete and whole when I'm out there. When I'm here in suburbia among people and technology I feel like there's a hole in me. When I was crossing the Nullabor I felt whole. I need to have a holiday in the wilderness again.
