We don’t just live in paradise. We live paradise. We are paradise. However it is a constant challenge to attain this level of existence. Every minute, every hour of the day we must be in pure awareness and alertness of what thoughts are crossing our heads, what the physical body is up to. We go through many many many emotional ups and downs as well as physical ups and down. This existence is much more high maintenance than anything else.

Life is easy if you want it to be. We have chosen the path of living according to the rhythms of the natural world. We embody the four elements of nature every given opportunity. Today was a great day to do this. We packed up our belongings into the car, farewelled the grandparents whom we spent time with in their suburbia’s version of paradise over the last couple of months. And off we went to return to our sub tropical coastal forest, 2000 kilometres away. On the way we stop to rest and absorb the four elements. The four elements in case some readers out there are not familiar with them are earth, water, fire and air. We earth ourselves by sitting on the warm sand as we listened to the water element in the form of the waves crashing. We felt the fire element as the sun shone on us and the wind element passed through in the form of a soft breeze. To be in awareness and in sync with these elements does a great job at keeping us in a balanced state. To pause for a second or two throughout the day bring such serenity. To be in gratitude for these elements. These are what we as parents strive for our little people.

Here are some shots of today. I hope theses photographs gives you all a taste of where we are located. We are along mid eastern part of Australia. It is pure magic and beauty. Nature spoils us too much.
