#whenisee

i've been working on the thank you parcels for my past pozible campaign. These gifts include:

"+ Hugs

+ A thank you!
+ I will make you a button [made with love]
+ A personalised instagram photo posted by me for you
+ A personalised note
+ A 'today i thought' print
+ I will draw you a picture
+ A gift from the Alice Springs Adventure
+ A poem of sweet goodness

+ Other creative secrets that are too secret to write here"

i still find it hard to believe that project was successfully funded. Its amazing the support that you can feel just through stepping out and trying to achieve something. I am so thankful for the encouraging people of the world. We really need them, don't we. My time in Alice Springs was very impacting and in many ways, im still process the whole experience. This "when i see" is part of the thank you package.

i want to share more about that experience but im not sure what to say and im not sure im ready... this is an extract from what i wrote in August while i was there.

Saturday, Day four

"i feel like i don't have time.. its true- i've never had time; time isn't mine- it never was mine but here... i want to take everything in and take it away with me, like a badge to wear, like art inked in my skin for the worldly forever. I don't even know if i've learnt but i want to remember- i must have learnt, i must have, right? I'm thankful for this Australia, i've seen more of it now and love more of it now and im still so far from understanding. But i get a little closer and i find happiness in good conversation and peace in quite spaces and Jesus in other people's eyes and for now, this is enough; just for now. I'm thankful to be part of this land and this beauty and this call forward, take one more step, keep being; be human, come closer... He is always calling and i now with open heart, hear and move. How could i not be moved by such love, such splendid love."

above is a raw file from some footage i shot while being there... and after someone in our crew said "this really is the middle of nowhere" one man who lived there replied "this is not the middle of nowhere, for some, this is the middle of everywhere" i think i'll always remember that.
