a journey's end...

my beautiful, gentle, loving and very much loved friend and companion allie's lifelong journey came to an end at 11.10am on thursday march 24...

my heart is broken,  my world bereft... 

farewell my sweet beauty...

"when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure..."

you will be forever treasured my dearest friend...

there will be more about my beautiful old girl - she was well honoured in her passing but i can't write it now... i miss the girl - i miss her presence - and the sensory deprivation of the touch and feel of her is incredibly painful...

one hundred years...

yep, this is the 100th anniversary of international womyn's day... a celebration of gains, but sadly a commemoration also of the things that haven't yet changed, the inequality that still exists, the suffering, the exploitation, and the violence still perpetrated against womyn...

i'm not really ready to get right back into full on blogging just yet - but i couldn't let international womyn's day go by without any acknowledgement, and this is my forum for that!! if you're interested in a wee bit of australian iwd herstory you can find it here...

and this makes for interesting viewing...
