Angelena Demaria

Under the Lippy

Joy of first love amongst the blackcurrants; sadness for the young refugee who falls; a strange bird nesting in foreign soil; guilt as an endangered mother shark fights to keep her baby; rage as women – honorary men in wartime – are expected to be ‘pretty in pink’ now as they hit the glass ceiling; changing one’s perspectives throughout life. All under the exasperated eye of Goddess the Creator, who blames God’s poor management skills!
