A year ago, on September 1st, I set off from my temporary home between homes to “rediscover wonder and awe”. I travelled exactly 3300 km around NSW to visit country towns that I’ve always heard about and never seen. I wanted to discover them. I was curious. After a year of downsizing, tough change, & grief in my life I needed to restore my soul, and the trip was how I chose to do so.
As I travelled I posted on Fb my discoveries, observations and …. shared the wonder and awe that I sought and found as much by accident as by design. Some people ignored the posts from my trip, some read every word. It was a journey of discovery. The posts were more or less “postcards from the Universe” that I shared. There was no theme other than what I personally delighted in, things that gave me the wonder and awe that I sought.
