Healed picture of my tattoo
I have been toying around with this idea for about 3 or 4 years now, and could never justify getting it because im a volunteer. but thanks to some generous friends and family. this is my late christmas present!
the text is an excerpt of a J.R.R Tolkein quote that goes
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
Like I said, I live in Australia as a volunteer. And have for nearly 3 years. During that time I have not stayed just in one place, I have been up and down the east coast and up several times to Papua New Guinea and now to Thailand and Burma. I dont think I have stayed put for over 4 months in this 3 year span. and dont plan on buckling down long term any time soon…
I guess you can say I have aquired a healthy case of what they call ” wander lust ”
I believe Tolkien in this poem is saying that things are not always as they first appear, nor should you assume that things will stay as they first appear to be.
so this is a reminder, and to signify that I am merely a wanderer with a purpose. I may seem to jump from here to there and back again, aimlessly chasing my whims. But in fact, my roots run deeper than they appear…even if they don’t keep me stuck in one place or opinion for too long. and im actively gaining a perception of things outside of what I would normally know.
The things I have learned while apparantly wandering around and working for free. are some of the most precious things I will ever have in my life. My preceptions of the world, knowledge of different cultures, my love for people and my relationship with God have drastically changed and through it all have gained a new passion for life and wanting to seeing others live.

A quick ratch around what was Bridge No:11 on the former Cleator and Workington Junction Railway, and what was the site of Walkmill pit (Moresby colliery).

We went over to Indiana because there's supposedly a comet visible tonight and for the next couple of weeks, and we thought we might try to see it. Its name is 46P/Wirtanen, and sometime in the last 12 or so hours it made its closest approach to Earth, passing only about 7.1 million miles away. Which sounds like a lot, but when you're talking outer space distance, 7.1 million miles is next to nothing. It's only about 30 times the distance between Earth and the Moon. According to the internet, this approach of 46P/Wirtanen ranks 20th on the list of all-time closest approaches of any comet ever in known history. That list includes comets going back all the way to the year 837.
Unfortunately, even as close as it is, a comet as small as 46P/Wirtanen doesn't really show up too well in the night sky. It's really dim, and the sky over Indiana was a bit hazy, so we didn't see anything. The comet should be just out of frame of this picture, up above Orion near the Pleides. (It didn't help that I thought it was supposed to be below Orion.) But neither one of us saw any comet. I'm supposed to be on the road late Tuesday night, though, so maybe I'll stop and try again then.
