About Me
- Name: McCabeandco
- Location: Perth, WA, Australia
I am a doctoral student in humanities, studying Indigenous spaces and nourished terrains, landscapes, cartography and places called home. The window where I sit looks north into a grove of platanus - plane trees - ranging in size from 10 to 15 metres. Another window behind me, looks east into the same grove of platanus that shield the hollow where I sit writing my thesis. Beyond the grove of platanus orientalis stand another grove of aged Pines. In amongst these trees are both the movements of air, birds, people and transformations of colour and of the seasons through winter into summer. Sometimes, I see assembled scholars and students, both those gathering or slow walking in pairs, before disappearing engulfed in the green beyond and bending around me. The point of keeping a blog on the view from this window is to inspire the observer within me and to identify with that which conjures a view to wild places and my imagination and insights. For nearly 12 months I have sat here and thought repeatedly about the insights this view has given and this blog is the best way I know of not forgetting what I see when it arrives.

hi there
i was very touched by your comment on my blog. and inspired when i read about you. i could infront of me the room in which you might seek warmth, reflection and creativity within the embrace of the natural world on all sides. windows to the east, windows to the north. mmmm i like the poetry there. reminds me of my own longing for more connection and dwelling within the beauty of nature. thanks. something i will take with me into my dayly life.
stay well.
