In Australia, we have had bush fires, flooding, relentless lockdowns, and now spinach causing hallucinations. What is next?

#wavingnotdrowning

A solemn art piece on a suburban wall (home) in #CaulfieldSouth #Australa… depicting, what I like to think of a boy waving. Not drowning.

However, there’s a poem called “Not Waving but Drowning" by the most famous poem by British poet Stevie Smith, and was first published in 1957.

The poem describes a drowning man whose frantic arm gestures are mistaken for waving by distant onlookers.

On a less literal level, the poem speaks to the isolation and pain of being misunderstood, and is a kind of parable about the distance between inner feelings and outward appearance.

If you notice someone struggling, ask them if they’re alright. And if they’re not, extend a loving hand, give them a call or take them out for coffee and try pull them free from their despair.
