I am writing this sitting pretty much in
the middle of nowhere. The remoteness of the location means that this is
currently a word document and will have to e uploaded at a later stage. I have volunteered to take my brothers and
cousin to my uncle’s block to ride the trail bike – on the condition that I
also get a try. But of course I need to do lots of work so I have taken my
computer along in the attempt to get more work done. Unfortunately, the
serenity around me, the silence (which happens to be broken by the occasional
sound of a motorbike and the chatter of those around me) and the beauty of the
‘open’ country is too much of a distraction. In fact what I want right now is
my sketch pad and camera. I just have to concede to taking some (very poor quality)
pictures with the camera of my computer (because I didn’t even have my phone
with me, which I can't even figure out how to upload onto here)
It is such a blessing that we have access
to so much open space. I have grown up on a 5 acre property and I cannot
imagine living on anything smaller. With open spaces you can breathe. There
isn’t the problem of neighbors complaining about your noise because they can’t
hear you. You have beautiful, uninterrupted scenery. And if you do live close to other people, In
Perth there is the opportunity to take a little drive and find a national park and
some wide, uninhabited space. Yes, open space is a gift that I have been
blessed with, one that I often take for granted. Thinking about it, it is truly
a wonderful blessing. Imagine living in a city where there is so much smog
there is rarely a blue sky, then think about the space around where you live –
isn’t that a blessing.
