Recently I visited the commune just outside Nimbin that my partner Julia grew up on.
The toilet is a box outside. There were huge spiders on the wall. Everything was trying to eat me (that’s a leech on my foot!).
And…
There was an idyllic dam to swim in. The forest was magical. The community looked after each other.
The past only exists in our minds. We get to choose what we focus on.
It’s never too late to choose to focus on what was amazing.
(That truth exists in the present too.)
