Posted on May 30, 2017 by Sue Vincent

Journal of the far side: 7 – Tjukurpa – Steve Tanham

Posted on January 13, 2017 by Sue Vincent

Reblogged from The Silent Eye – more of Steve’s visit to Uluru… It is, in the end, all about creation time. The meaning of this is not obvious to the Western psyche steeped in its causal logic, locked into this-to-that … Continue reading →

Of Ash and Seed – The mound in the dark grove…

Posted on December 20, 2016 by Sue Vincent

Of Ash and Seed – Beached

Posted on December 16, 2016 by Sue Vincent
