best of vic & taz

as with all holidays,
the best of it lies not in the new material posessions,
nor the best hotels stayed
but the quaint unique ones,
the view from the window
the people who offered a smile to warm the day
or those who were genuinely interested in helping out.

the charm of victoria and taz was calming
and even as I look now at the trees swaying
teleported memories of the woods along those long drives up colac fill my mind
the warmth of that coldness still provides a calming peace and tranquility,
the hills and valleys my eyes awed about translated to an infinite sense of freedom and heart filled joy.
anticipation of whats new with every turn out of a winding road or every drive up a hill was child like,
and when the view of the great ocean revealed ....
"the moment" never failed to make me feel so small and yet so contented that I could live to experience the beauty of God's creation.

And of course, the company.. the last visit with 'aunties' and this with the warmth of a rather like minded friend made an ENTIRE WORLD of difference. It never fails to intrigue me that we can be so different and yet the similiarity sometimes spooks..

glad that when I thot i had all the best friends I cld ever have God decided to pop another one to give co that can bring new joys and closeness like real sisters..

glad to have experienced auz in a whole new dimension and when I look back, memories that replay would be all of beauty, good music, and of course great company.
