Where is home

Pig wanders the world aching for home. She has moments when she realises home is often not a place but a state of being. Today on top of Mt Kosiosko she feels at home.

Her friend Cent, is broken and lost in Fairhaven on the Great Ocean Road. Perhaps we all are far from home at time in our life when we are separated from our soul?

Although Leglos went out into the wonderful snow at Falls Creek, he decided he didn’t want to stay and so he came home again to mask land! Nazim Hikmet’s poem resonated with Leglos’ experience of life and for that he felt grateful and less lonely.

Wallace’s Hut
Otto is home at last. After trying desperately to fit in at Spoonville in the city during lockdown. As soon as he was allowed out he returned to the Victorian High Plains. He can rest easy once again. He ponders that sometimes it is difficult to find your home. It’s not always obvious or where you think it might be.

Gone
But where?

Jude Dennis’ poem Early Draft written about AIDS years ago, echos in todays times of the pandemic. Otto has left the city leaving those at home… he hopes they survive

Bit parts harmless

Matter-create nor destroy

Molecules once a part of me

Now a part of a killing particle

I am everywhere

Part of life

Part of death

Affects us all

Ralph and Grump both from the same family just very different temperaments. Ralph is disorganised but ever keen and Grump is VERY organised but ever worried. Both just different.

Matt and Pat

Mat and Pat were heading to South America. Green Man was not invited! so he went it alone. It takes courage to live even if you have to do it alone.

Potty so wants to fit in. After 63 days of lock down she is so desperate to fit in but will the spoons allow a fork?
On the other hand the magpie has no concerns about ” fitting in”

Pots can’t decide whether to be an ordinary person or a King! Mainly he’s hoping to not feel so lonely and unimportant. His poem reminds him to stop and be with himself and then he might not feel so lonely and disconnected and perhaps doesn’t need to be a king.

Bubble man had put himself in abubble. Protected from any hurt but also unable to engage in life. He went to the mountains and there he found life and love of life again but didn’t want to stay alone and so he returned to his home by the river. Sometimes it’s good to get away and get a perspective or as an elephant once said to Bubble man. ” The Bigger Picture.” That’s what his poem tells him.
