Self Awareness: Resilence.

Resilience. What is it?

I went driving today. To the Clare Valley. Great wine country full of quiet. Full of backroads and quirky little eateries. Antique shops and wineries. Gum trees and lorikeets. It is around 1.5 – 2 hours from the city, depending how you drive. Enough time to do some thinking.

It is wonderful watching the vines, full of autumn reds, yellows and oranges, or maybe already bare, gnarled fingers reaching along wires. They have survived the drought. Survived the severe frosts of several years ago. Survived a record hot summer.
