For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

Hello @Former-Member How are you?
Mask-Wearing (anywhere outside Home) & Restrictions - Have been Reintroduced here in Perth (last night) - Then extended until next Saturday morning, 8th of May (so far).
Hope it's not heading into another Lockdown (again).
We were only free of Mask-Wearing (no Mask required) for 5 days last week (until last night).
Then they brought the Restrictions (Yes that's the Official Term) back in again.

Beautiful ornamental unaccompanied singing ... sean nos....Joe Heaney. Warren Fahey, folk historian brought him to Sydney Opera House in 1981
I really enjoyed listening to the Gaelic and the B&W photography.

Boundaries Huh?

They are not cast in stone. Now where did that stone go?

Interesting @Appleblossom I really liked the part questioning if the stone had been moved previously and who is to say that is where it has always been. The whole question of land/territory has always fascinated me - particularly in terms of war and the fight for land - I find it quite sad that we as a species need to define land and cannot live co-dependently with each other based on kindness and respect ...but we continue to see the fight throughout the world for territory and possesion of land - even in our society there is a division of territory based on socio-economic status rather than equal share based on need - and what really saddens me is that we continue to see the elevation of housing prices for greed rather than necessity and so many are left without the basic human right of shelter.
Sorry - on my soapbox with this one

@Appleblossom You are so right Apple - you do you and let those unkind people deal with their own attitudes
