Walkabout and Sunset Lake

Sunset Lake iPad drawing by Sea Dean

Walkabout, that’s the term Australian original people use when they go out into the bush to gain some perspective. I’ve always thought it was a wonderful term for taking a break. I’ve found that I need a break every three months or so and I haven’t had one for over a year, so I was waaaaay overdue. Blogging can be useful for staying on track, but it is very refreshing to get away.

I accomplished many things on my walkabout, including clearing out a storeroom, which gave me the opportunity to discover some old journals, photos, paintings and writings. I found a few gems which I will share this month. Most of the stored items were from about 10 years ago. I was a different person then, but I suppose the more you change the more you stay the same. By reading through old papers I discovered that I like myself and I’ve led an interesting and varied life rich in learning.

Above is a new iPad drawing created on my walkabout. The combination of colors speaks of the desert origins of our local climate while honoring the life force in our deep cool lakes.
