Regrowth Festival

Ah, so much fabulousness.
2012 has probably been the best year of my life yet. I've met so many beautiful, wonderful, encouraging, and inspiring people. I really feel loved, and am really excited about where my life is going, and who is joining me for the ride.

The weekend (at the Regrowth Festival) was an accumulation and condensation of all these feelings. Yes, drugs were involved (which always make even the simplest experiences enjoyable), but there was a communal feeling of connectedness, intimacy, joy, love, excitement, enthusiasm and laughter. I spent time with current friends, met new ones, and brought recent ones into that special place in my heart where my lifetime friends live.

It was, in short, a life-changing experience. New perceptions, new thoughts, new ways of expressing myself. A total hippy love fest.

My heart is swelling with the beauty of it all.

I want to start these doodles again - I'm really out of practice.
So, here's the first one in almost two years. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm at Harrigan's Irish Pub in Pokolbin.
It's a beautiful day, I have wine in my belly, a beer I'm my hand, and am
looking forward to tonight's festivities.

Ugh. I think I'm coming down with the flu. I feel terrible.
Luckily, I have my favourite tea cup to make me feel better.
I don't know if it's a giant bee, or a tiny giraffe, but I love it for that.

I'm really impressed with this tequila. Very drinkable.
Totally pumped for heading out tonight. My good mate Kirky has been posted
to Timor, so we're meeting him for a farewell at the Argyle in the Rocks.
Adventure.
