Am sitting at Gate 2 waiting another half hour to board the Melbourne flight. Leaving home at 4.50am got me here on time if not early, so time to reflect and update here.

So some food for thought for today, Friday 2nd August. The Van Gough quote is a tad melancholy, right? However, I think it’s probably true. Maybe those who are broken by life can appreciate the wonder of art (visual, written..) more than those who are enjoying life without art. (Could that ever be possible? A life with no art? The heart shrinks a little.)

So what else? I’m about to attend some of the Fairy Tale Society 2024 Conference and looking forward to what it may inspire and bring forth. Yes, I have written a few fairy tales in the past few years. Stay tuned.
