About Me

... confined during her waking hours to a planet inhabited by crazy human beings, land dwelling animals, sea creatures, flying birds, insects, & sky traversing clouds, (to name but a few) ...one of the most befitting things to do here,... when not sleeping, ...seemed to involve building a bridge to the other worlds made of sounds & thoughts...it is presently 5 cm tall...this is extremely high if you happen to be a little creature, like a flea or a nit... and also very tiny, if you happen to be someone like a giraffe or an emu, (of which there are many in australia - sometimes hanging out at the beach, checking the surf & so on)..(emu's that is, not giraffes)... it is a pleasant bridge....made of bamboo & vines & extending across beautiful predator-filled gorges....it creaks a little when it's passengers are overly anxious or exuberant....& one must hold onto the edges as there are sections which can give way unexpectedly...
