Here I am, an ‘80s baby, yet a significant part of my soul feels tethered to the '70s. Not due to personal memories, but the rich, animated tales spun by my grandfather. The wooden floors I recently sprawled on? They’re not just any floors – they're granddad’s, right in our old home out in Cloncurry, still standing tall and echoing tales of the past. As I laid out on that bean bag, desperately looking for a perhaps non-existent remote, surrounded by mute browns and oranges, the spirit of the '70s wrapped around me. And it wasn't just the aesthetics. Granddad’s stories, of unparalleled freedom, the spirit of expression, and the rapidly evolving Australian landscape of that time, played like an old film in my mind. A decade marked by transformation, ushering in new beginnings, and setting foundations for a brighter Australian future. While I've always felt deeply connected to the essence of that era, being on that floor added a layer of depth. The raw emotions, challenges countered with unwavering resilience, and an undying spark of hope – these aren’t just elements of tales told, they're living energies in that space. Every plank, every corner of that home has absorbed these stories, holding them close. As the sun cast dappled patterns on the floor, I realized how stories from bygone days can mold our perspectives and values. While the '70s showcased vibrancy and charm, it also paved the path for the subsequent decades, including my own time, the '80s. Each moment, each story, is a testament to our journey as a collective. It reminds me why I love sharing snippets of life with all of you – it’s about celebrating the past, cherishing the present, and looking forward to the future. Gratitude fills me as I think of this beautiful community we’ve built together. Thank you for being here, walking beside me through these memory lanes and beyond. 🧡 With warmth and nostalgia, Koby 🌅
