AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

New Waves New Horizons New Light


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This morning, the summer waters of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia were a little mystical, etched with whispering ripples far out to a magical, soft horizon.
Today, is Wednesday 21st January but it is Tuesday 20th January in the U.S.
I wanted to post some comment on the significant event happening there.
The Watery Wednesday meme seemed to be the perfect opportunity to connect with the inauguration of the 44th President of the U.S., Barack Obama.

Inauguration A New Day ~ Comfort Spiral ~ Cloudia a delightful blogger living in Hawaii said:
Today the people of the United States vibrate in harmony,
like the strings of a harp stirred by Spirit.
The man who grew up in Hawaii is reaching
a sincere hand of Aloha to all. . .
Things will never be the same.

Great post and a great tie-in. I definitely feel the motion of a new tide coming in. It's a wonderful feel. :-)

All we can hope for is a ripple effect in the governments of the world, greed, corruption and war is meeting it's match, as the good people of the world speak out...we want change and reform...is that so much to ask...that our governments give back...just a little.

The last eight years have been spiraling out of control, I for one, am glad to see this past regime of tyranny out of office...definition of tyanny-misuse of power over others, oppression; a single act or the whole system of government under a tyrant.

Change is on the horizon...the people speak and come together!

Thanks Gemma, it is a great day!
