Fractured DSC_8429
This is how it feels to live in Melbourne at the moment. It is not a commentary on which side of the political divide I support but about the fractures along political lines and ideology resulting in relentless vitriol and negativity that has fractured friendships and our once united city (and Country).
At the beginning it was all about standing together -bipartisan leadership and co-operation. Didn't take long for it to deteriorate into political point scoring at our expense.
This image just evolved and I guess I'm not sure it works. I took it from a bridge over-looking the freeway last year. Looking at it and the view of Melbourne town, just got me thinking about how much I love it and how broken it feels right now.
We will come back and be whole again. The talk of the move to mostly outdoor dining as has happened successfully in other countries even got me alittle excited this morning. You know how I love fairy lights.
Sometimes wonderful, long lasting ideas and new ways to do things arise from tragedies and I am sure that will happen in Melbourne as it will across the world. We just need to stop the cracks getting too big.
