Sunday Scribblings, "Where in the World?"

G'Day,
The Sunday Scribblings prompt this weekend is" Where in the world."

Where in the world are you,

I've looked for you for ever,
If I find you,
I'll never let you out of my sight again,
Out of my reach,
Out of touch or hearing,
Are you hiding or undiscovered,
Are you searching for me or for someone else,
Elusive to me in understanding,
Me.
************
Where I live,
Southern hemisphere,
Land, Australia,
State Australian Capital Territory,
South Canberra, Tuggeranong,
Macarthur.
Not sharing the address, that is close enough.
************
Where I want to live.
Here is o.k. for now, for lots of reasons.
But searching for a permanent home base with a bit of dirt I can call my own.
A place to stay. Enough space.
Whether it has 4 distinct seasons or just two.
Within reach of but not on the coast.
A place with people I know well and have links with, be that present or past or future.
A Place to practice my beliefs in peace.
************
I read a book called" the shady tree", I think.
The shady tree was described by the author as being like,
A place to settle, rest your bones and live out the rest of your life relaxing in peace, when you are finished working.
I liked that idea.
I am looking for my shady tree.
But I am not ready for it yet.
Some days I look forwards to it more than others.
I am guessing it will be in the lower half of this country,
along the eastern side somewhere.
My country is strong and peaceful, a great place to be.
I feel safe here, well as safe as I could be anywhere in the world and better than many other places I suspect in that regard.
Sure we have our faults, everything everywhere does, doesn't it.
But I am in a good place.
************
Good luck finding your own shady tree if you haven't found it already.
Love Linda.
