The road
The horizon
Draught
The stars
The moon
The backyards
The picnics
The pubs
The railway tracks
The light
The abandoned servo
I was leaning against the building, playing it by bashing my elbows into it. I thought to myself ‘I’m probably going to hurt myself here’, but I felt fine afterwards.
The car dance/confrontation
The illnesses and the injuries
The lakes
The chips
The vegetarian option
The snoring
The smells
The coffee
The kid who said “that’s cool”
The trees
The cop
The soup
The giddy thrill of playing and hanging out with so many ridiculously talented people
The unexpected arrivals
The dancers who appeared out of nowhere
The bridges
The gong
My fingers were numb after holding the gong for a couple of hours. The feeling mostly came back the next day; but even now, over a week later, part of my index finger is still numb. Or is it calloused?
The beauty so intense I felt I had to look away…but didn’t
‘We are all going to die’
The jealousies
The fighting
The trying and failing, but trying anyway
Walking away and coming back
Compassion
Permission
The love
The rhythms
The hat
The advice
The bullshit
The wisdom
The quiet
The flies
Billy chai
The field
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
The bone
Commitments made
In the field, I pushed myself up from the ground and my elbow locked up like it was dislocated or something. Seems like I had hurt it the other day after all. 
The fire
The motion (is its own reward)
Horsham Roadhouse, 1:30am
Space is the place
The river
The dead rabbit
The temple
The birds
The salt
My feet broke through a damp part of the salt pan. Walking back across the lake, I noticed blood in the footprints I made (left foot). Two of my toes were cut; they must have been sliced by salt crystals when I fell through the surface. I bled all the way back across the lake.
The meal
The river dance
The mist
The table walk
The dice
