UNDER THE TREE BY YOURSELF 

Photo credit to Eng. Lit. Info

"It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree—not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself—and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fishermen’s song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed." ~Jiddu Krishnamurti, The Krishnamurti Reader

It's a sad day for me for missing my attendance on this solemn day.  But my heart and thoughts are for all the fallens and for my country, Australia 🇦🇺. 

TRIBUTES:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;  

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.  

At the going down of the sun and in the morning  

We will remember them. 

Today, on Anzac Day, we come together to pay tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our country. Their courage and selflessness will forever be remembered.

Lest we forget.
