Jingili Water Gardens We Cannot Know



Jingili Water Gardens 
We cannot know
My concern 
My change in life
We are not what we were
We are not what we will be
I keep falling back into place
And as I fall 
Everything seems to be 
As if I know


Of free choice
Within my confinements 
Restricted by rules of consumption 
I see only windows and reflections

In the twilight
I am doing it
I am trying to reach
Beyond my opportunities


Thinking thoughts, not for consumption
Disturbing impulsive thoughts
Those darker imaginings
Those emergent creative powers
Repress them
Keep them secret

Australian Gothic

  The land  Where there are no crumbling castles  No bloodsucking vampires No ancient monsters No antiquity Too immature for proper history The terror is unseen The terror has been repressed  Through imperial violence, fear, and subversion Mass transportation to the dungeon of the world 50 thousand years  Then came The water buffalo The missionaries Pastoral activity Uranium mining Forestry Tourism Sheer relentless pressure Bringing forth crisis and social breakdown And obligated to make way We sense their dread As they combined the elements to create a threat A social, religious, and physical threat The darkest mountain The deepest canyon No escape THEN There are those who predicted the threat Those who compose the realities of impending horror  Those who shepherd the flock into their shelters As we return to our nooks and anticipate their foretold slaughter When you feel an object is both alive and not alive Consecrated Special powers Invisible forces Made powerful for human purpose

Seeking a New Way of Seeing

Image
  A political act To rebalance the inequities Trust intuition There is a risk that our story will not be told Our time doesn't have to be linear Or by its means of describing us In the busy work of creating an unfulfilling life Who is in charge of my simulation? When I am observed  I behave differently Fearing my vulnerability  Fearing constant attack My mind indistinguishable from reality I step onwards To self-correct my past errors As I passively slip through multiple dimensions With My Judgmental and Righteous Hands In this game, I have two hands One is for verity One is judgment One is bringing forward truth One is for corrective measures One is to bring alignment One is to teach a lesson As we transform onwards through this immense virtual space Night Walking with Weapons In distant places Everyone is hacking each other Everyone is grieving Everyone overconsuming There are those trying to reduce socio-economic gaps  Where enforcement is distributed unequally And I keep search

Future public transport: The straddling bus

Image
Tired of traffic jams and exhaust fumes? A recently unveiled design concept for a "straddling bus," which lets cars drive underneath, can not only save road space but also help reduce air pollution. The passenger compartment spans two traffic lanes and sits high above the road surface on a pair of stilts,leaving the road clear for ordinary cars to pass underneath. Regardless of whether the the bus is moving or not, cars under 2 meters high can easily pass through. Running along special tracks, the bus can carry up to 1,400 passengers, and travel at a top speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Culture vs Strategy

Image
“In the agricultural era, schools mirrored a garden. In the industrial era, classes mirrored the factory, with an assembly line of learners. In the digital-information era, how will learning look?” Lucy Dinwiddie Global Learning & Executive Development Leader, General Electric The urgency to develop relevant forms of 21st century leadership exists, as continued application of  20th century management practices will eventually incapacitate society. Positional leaders must transform schools from the assembly-line-of-learners era to the digital-information era.  The future of societal progression is dependent on school leaders being able to directly shift their learning goals towards the era. If societal progression is to occur, schooling must not be maimed by yester-century retro-like industrialised management practices. Within this era industrialised management practices will manufacture diminished potential.  Diminish human potential in schools and society will stri
