flu as a moment of liberation
There is a certain liberation in having the flu. There's a certain degree of foggy indifference that rolls through the mind and things don't cling the way they were in supposedly healthier times. So I still have some of that indifference but I'll plug some cold and flu tablets down my throat and...

only a day and I'm back again
So here I am having taken a day's sick leave. The only problem is I really don't want to go back to work.. ever. It's not that I'm a lazy person. I just want a job that I genuinely look forward to doing. It's actually becoming hard to even construct an imaginary sense of what such a job would look...

hi
It's been such a long time since I've blogged. Here I am with my head in some dizzy place and I'm left wondering if I should go to work tomorrow. Do I want to go to work? Not really. I've had the place bouncing around in my brain all weekend and I am not a fan of the workplace encroaching on my...

sunday morning
I watched the sunrise over the Pacific this morning: a great orange orb that was quickly swallowed up in the clouds. Threads of golden light broke through and made a bright band in the water out on the horizon. I wrote my morning pages then went for a walk along a coastal boardwalk, along the bluff...

saturday morning thoughts
Saturday morning and the papers are read. Most of the reports, articles and columns were about the economic situation, strategies designed so that Australia might avoid recession, ways of pumping money into areas that will stimulate the economy. The government wants to give me and most other...

hey there
It's been a couple of months since I've managed a post! It's a humid summer night in Sydney, though there's a slight sea breeze curling through the window which is delivering some relief. I have mixed feelings about the job. I don't regret that I took it and I certainly don't regret moving away from...

seasons greetings
Hi Guys. Here's a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. I haven't been visiting Blogit so much over the past weeks and haven't been writing so much recently other than posting the occasional quote and rather interesting and occasionally dubious fact. Anyway I have about 10 days off work...

a note from the past
Every now and then I go for a web cruise related to past history and I just read the monastery in Melbourne where I spent six and a half years studying theology has closed. I guess there's been an absence of recruits. The vast majority of feelings I have about the place are negative. It was not a...

WELL DONE AMERICA
On behalf of a lot of people in the rest of the world I just want to give a round of applause to the US today for making an excellent choice for the future. It's a great moment of history and a cause for great pride. Well done!
