There cannot be a ‘you’ without an ‘everything else,’ and attempting to think about one without the other makes no sense.*
Oliver Burkeman
Everything is relational, and ultimately, personal.**
AleXander McManus
None of us are done becoming;
The more we recognise and seek to
connect with the world of which we are a part –
Rather than apart –
The more we’ll experience our unrepeatable, imperfect,
But beautiful becoming, with
meaning, adventure, generosity, and love.

Love Oliver Burkeman’s work
Me too. I’m glad I’ve found his books and his newsletter.
By the way, what would you recommend seeing in Melbourne if my Christine and I managed to get there?
As to Melbourne, it depends on your interests, It is a multicultural city known for international sport and food. such International as the Melbourne Cup, then there is the National Gallery of Victoria, the Zoo and more. A good site to look at is ‘What’s on Melbourne’ which can be found here https://whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/things-to-do?
Thank you for these suggestions, Majella. We’ll certainly have a look. We’ll be visiting our daughter and husband in Sydney, but may pop across to Melbourne to have a look around. You never know where the next doodle will be coming from.
Enjoy!
Thank you.
