I just want a place to live where I can peacefully grow my trees
and fly my balloons in the air.
A place where people are just happy a nice.
We could even climb trees whilst wearing overalls.
Thats all I want really.

Mr Pooh.

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes."

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"”

Oh Winne the Pooh.
Your wisdom was underestimated.

I DON'T FIT IN WITH PEOPLE.

TREES ARE OK THOUGH.

My new camera came today.
I named it Celeste.
I think its love!

I don't think anyone has every used the word normal to describe me,
unless they used it sarcastically.
I get weird, freak and strange a bit.
But, I like it.
Who would ever want to be normal?

"I used to paint small figurines" "its nice, i can play with my toys in the sun"

I love those nights that make you laugh,
and are very quote worthy.
For the first night in a while, I feel happy.

: )

The past is catching up.

"If any of you are around when I have to meet my day,
I don't want a long funeral. And if you get somebody to deliver the eulogy,
tell them not to talk too long.
Every now and then I wonder what I want them to say. Tell them not to mention
that I have a Nobel Peace Prize. That isn't important. Tell them not to mention
that I have three or four hundred other awards, that's not important.
Tell them not to mention where I went to school.
I'd like somebody to mention that day, that Martin Luther King Kr, tried to love somebody.
I want you to say that day that I tried to be right on the question of war.
I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try to feed the hungry.
And I want you to say that day, that I did try, in my life to clothe those who were naked.
I want you to say, on that day, that I did try, in my life, to visit those who were in prison.
I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity."
-Martin Luther King Jr.

My initials are H.R.R.
Hah, thats amusing.

How is it possible to feel alone in a town of hundreds?
How is it possible that every night 22,000 teenagers are homeless?
How is it possible that they can cry without being noticed?


How is that right?

I want to be remembered as the girl who had picnics,
just because the sun came out.

A dream has power to poison sleep

- Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Mutability"

I don't want anything to be 'The End'
I want everything to be 'The Beginning'

But you can't have what you want.
You have to have what you need.

Somethings end for the better.

Too cute.

"Its like I had ten hearts and they all
fell in love with you at the same time"
-C.B

I wish I was special.
So fucking special.

SMOKE LIKE A FIRE
DRINK LIKE A FISH
HOPE WHEN I'M BROKE
THINK LIKE I'M RICH.

God be amongst us and within us. Earth is our mother and nature’s law is our father, our protector. Thus, we pray.

Father do not forgive them for they know precisely what they do. Those destroyers of earth’s beauty and goodness, those killers of nature, do not forgive them.
Those betrayers of nature’s love. Those exploiters of nature’s innocence. Those poisoners. Do not forgive them.
Those greedy, pompous people. That greed and pomposity within us all. The sum total of that petty greed and pomposity within us all. We now know precisely what these things are doing to this earth. So Father, do not forgive us for we now understand what it is that we do.
Amen.

-Michael Leunig

I can't explain it

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
-Henri Bergson

C-H-A-N-G-E

Most people fear change.
I like it. It's unpredictable, exciting, nerve wrecking.
It adds that sparkle to your life.
Things change.
People change.
Change comes with time.
Accept that things change,
or you will be in a muddle.

I stand up upon the cliff top and look down at the raging sea.
I can see bits of me being crashed against the rocks.
Oh look, there goes my nose. Shwoosh, theres my toe.
I am distracted by something.
My mind.
Instead of going towards the rocks, my mind is floating out to sea.
Where is going? Will it return?
'COME BACK' I yell.
But on it floats.
Running along the cliff tops I am screaming for my mind.
'PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME'
I stand at the very edge of the cliff, panting, watching the fading dot that was once my mind.
What now?



.

"Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars...
and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.
Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason;
they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents
and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance.
Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are. "
~Osho

Please can everyone just be nice?

what is a black hole?

Hello fuzzy brain,
I hope you are well in that head of thoughts.
I was just wondering,
why be the need for you to be so fuzzy?
why be the need for you to be so confused?
Is life not swell at the moment,
fuzzy little brain?
Please write back as soon as possible,
because at the moment, with you being
so fuzzy, I am quite lost.
Yours sincerely,
H.R X

Alone. but surrounded by many
Lost. but right on track.
Overwhelmed. but aware

I am not right.




.

I do not like being human. I wish I was another thing.
Maybe an animal, maybe the ocean.
I do not like being human. What have we achieved? It is true we are getting better at solving the mistakes we have made.
But, they are very silly mistakes, that should never have been made in the first place.
I wish I was something else.
An animal who's priority is to find a family.
An ocean who helps people and is home to all.
I do not like being human.
It doesn't feel right.

I am lost in a field of daisies.
Some so tall I cannot see the sky.
I turn around and around,
I cannot see a way out.
Oh why must I be so lost.

some days I just want to yell,


FUCK




For no particular reason, I just think its interesting to say.

To write love on her ams,

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
...,Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd.
To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE,

Don't let anyone tell you that you're too young to be in love.

From the moment we were born we have been in love with people.
If a person in year 7 says they love someone, good for them,
don't think they are talking jibber jabber.
You never know, they may be.

What is a name?

Why do we have names?
Is it the same as a jar being called a jar?
When we are born, our parents have no idea what we will turn out to be, so how do they know what to call us? My name, Henrietta, means' mistress of the home'. How were my parents to know that when I grew up, I would be a home wrecker?
If someone says to you 'Who are you?'
Saying Hetty Rodda, isn't really telling them, 'Who I am'
We should just reply, 'human.'
or you could get really detailed.
'Who are you?'
'A teenager trying to get through school without chucking a hissy fit,
whos future ambition is to fly balloons.'
Names are pointless I think. They don't really mean anything.

That pretty much sums up everything.

We are all water from

different rivers

That's why it's so easy to to meet

We are all water in this vast,

vast ocean

Someday we'll evaporate

together.

JOHN LENNON

Graffiti I have found

Be careful what you listen to.
It could just be lies.
They could just be full of shit.

Graffitti I have found

"To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being."
Mahatma Gandhi

Grafitti I have found

The Definition of Humanity
1. all human beings collectively; the human race; humankind.

2.the quality or condition of being human; human nature

3. the quality of being humane; kindness; benevolence

The one with the red tinted hair.

She is sometimes called a ranga,
but only when the sun shines on her hair.
Her last name is Willy,
and she makes the boys stare.

Kate McWilliam.
One who believes,
one who has faith.
One who will make a difference.

She makes me believe the world can be fixed.
She makes me have faith in the things around me.
And together, we shall make a difference.

where is Mary Poppins at a time like this?

Advertisement is everywhere these days.
I see it more than I see trees.
Except,
If its an advertisement for trees..


.

"the people who run our cities dont understand graffiti because they think nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a profit...
the people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff....
any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours, it belongs to you ,, its yours to take, rearrange and re use.Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.... "
-Banksy

"Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a great and glorious nation.
Favourite amongst his subjects was the court painter of whom he was very proud.
Everybody agreed this wizzened old man pianted the greatest pictures in the whole kingdom and the king would spend hours each day gazing at them in wonder.
However, one day a dirty and dishevelled stranger presented himself at the court claiming that in fact he was the greatest painter in the land.
The indignant king decreed a competition would be held between the two artists, confident it would teach the vagabond an embarrassing lesson.
Within a month they were both to produce a masterpiece that would out do the other.
After thirty days of working feverishly day and night, both artists were ready.
They placed their paintings, each hidden by a cloth, on easels in the great hall of the castle.
As a large crowd gathered, the king ordered the cloth be pulled first from the court artist’s easel. Everyone gasped as before them was revealed a wonderful oil painting of a table set with a feast. At its centre was an ornate bowl full of exotic fruits glistening moistly in the dawn light.
As the crowd gazed admiringly, a sparrow perched high up on the rafters of the hall swooped down and hungrily tried to snatch one of the grapes from the painted bowl only to hit the canvas and fall down dead with shock at the feet of the king.
’Aha!’ exclaimed the king. ’My artist has produced a painting so wonderful it has fooled nature herself, surely you must agree that he is the greatest painter who ever lived!’
But the vagabond said nothing and stared solemnly at his feet.
’Now, pull the blanket from your painting and let us see what you have for us,’ cried the king. But the tramp remained motionless and said nothing. Growing impatient, the king stepped forward and reached out to grab the blanket only to freeze in horror at the last moment.
’You see,’ said the tramp quietly, ’there is no blanket covering the painting.
This is actually just a painting of a cloth covering a painting.
And whereas your famous artist is content to fool nature, I’ve made the king of the whole country look like a clueless little twat."
— Banksy

Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill, Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass.
-Rupert Brooke

I found a patch of daisies.
The grass was quite green.
In the middle, was a white patch.
I thought it was snow.
So many daisies, all in a row.

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. ~Ansel Adams

Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop. ~Usman B. Asif

Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. ~Edward Steichen

LIFE

They were born.
They were friends.
They laughed.
They sighed.
They high fived.
And they slowly turned to death.

MY GODS.

DO EPIC SHIT.
Eat a capsicum.

I want to move forward.
I want to move away from where I am now.
In front of me is the world
and behind me is a hole.
I take a step forward and the hole pulls me back.
It wants me to stay forever.
But it isn't safe there.
I take a stronger step and I feel like I am on my way.
Something flies at me from the world.
I duck and look up at the creature.
Its a child.
It is as thin as twigs.
It's face is stained.
The hold pulls and I have no strength.
I fell myself being pulled.
Blackness envelops me as the hole gulps me up.
Goodbye Henrietta.
Thanks for trying.

HOPE
"Hope was but a timid friend
She sat without my grated den
Watching how my fate would tend
Even as self-hearted men
She was cruel in her fear.
Through the bars, one dreary day
I looked to see her there
And she turned her face away!
Like a false guard false watch keeping
Still in strife she whispered peace;
She would sing while I was weeping,
If I listened she would cease.
False she was and unrelenting.
When my last joys strewed the ground
Even sorrow saw repenting
Those sad relics scathered round.
Hope-whose whisper would of given
balm to all that frenzied pain.
stretched her wings and soared to heaven.
Went- and ne'er returned again."
-Emily Bronte

Acknowledge the bad things in life.
Embrace them, Accept them.
And make them better.
Just don't let them swallow you.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

Night Terrors

I had a night terror.
Everyone from ptea tuek dong was crying.
Tears, millions of tears being shed.
It hurt me. Angered me. Saddened me.
I whimpered, 'Why are you crying. Please please stop'.
They pointed at me and whispered that it was my fault.
I had caused them to cry.
I shrank to the ground and sobbed.
I would of done anything to stop them crying.


It was the worst night terror I have ever had.
I will do anything to stop it from coming true.
