Walk My World

Where I'm From Shadrach the cattle dog, long gone but in my heart, Made me forget my worries with his wide grin, wagging tail and ready to work attitude.                                    The farm was ubiquitous It was my youth, collecting eggs from the chooks Milking cows and exploring paddock corners. I learnt respect for nature's rules.                                    The gully rarely filled with water Witnessing birth and death, made sense to me then My father's practical sense, my mother grew vegetables.

It may also refer to lines of sight (you only need two dots to create a straight line) or it may lean toward lines of flight. The dot painting is synonymous with Australian indigenous artworks. Dots that group together and form something magical, larger than the viewer.  Curiosity led adventures.  Connecting the dots. 

I'm joining #WalkMyWorld project run by Ian O'Byrne. There is a series of Learning Events coming up and I will use this blog space to respond to that. Week 1 starts by connecting and talking about dialogue. Multimedia and dialogue I have setup a Pixton Comic Classroom. Join link:  https://join.pixton.com/m23g2 .  I'm hoping that others can join in this space and add comics as a way of responding to the Learning Events.
