The Tell Live
Welcome to our world
As we go through life and our world we are presented with many opportunities to encounter life-changing experiences.
Experiencing life through nature and nurture is the reason and purpose for who and what we are.
So, it is important to look, listen and touch as we go along and about from one moment to the next – every so often stopping to attend to, record and reflect on our encounters and experiences.
Without this engagement, interaction and activity we would perceive life as meaningless, boring and wasteful.
So, in this section of Sparky we ‘curate’ news, stories and images that aim to start conversations, and to respect and appreciate each other’s cultures, societies, and communities everywhere.
