It was a sunny day, in the Darwin wet season, no rain, humid as ever.
After cutting back a some of the exuberant growth from around the garden I’d worked up a bit of a healthy sweat.
It felt good to sweat out some of those fruit mince pies from Christmas.
A couple of hours into the job I decided to drink some H2O instead of coffee, wow that felt good, who'da thought?

I’d just finished mowing the lawn, the grass was thick and green, the sweet smell of freshly cut grass was rising in slow convection through thick January air, Paul Kelly piped directly into my ears, good volume passionate soulful tunes absorbed into my spirit.
No humbug, no other thoughts a euphoria was rising through my body and then I felt an odd cramp in my chest and I thought… 'THIS is IT'!

No humbug, no other thoughts a euphoria was rising through my body and then I felt an odd cramp in my chest and I thought… 'THIS is IT'!
Wow what bliss! I could fall backwards to the ground in perfect peace and die now with music in my heart and the soft green grass beneath me and the clouds and sky and trees above me.
The moment passed, the cramp vanished and I went inside and had another cold glass of water. What joy to live and die in this thin space of peace and beauty?
