“To halt the decline of an ecosystem, it is necessary to think like an ecosystem.” Douglas P. Wheeler
Connection The eye at a distance sees little, but to be curious, to come closer, to unfold your tender skin is to smile as I see the night ant hiding, to be surprised as the well disguised moth seeks escape in a flutter and a running spider hastens away, always on the prowl, while nearby, a banksia bee hovers quietly, then carefully I fold you back and walk on, taking you with me, noticing the difference in my step, and the wonder that has captured me.

Welcome Paul. One thing illness, and limited mobility gifted me was the ability to see the things the former me missed.
