Navigating through a space traffic jam

  Navigating through a space traffic jam The Space Tourist Chronicles  podcast Trapped in a cosmic gridlock, navigating space felt less like an adventure and more like rush hour back home. Ahead, the opulent cruise liner, The Stellar Serpent, dominated the view, its countless portholes gleaming with the carefree anticipation of its occupants. We were surrounded by a frenzy of vessels, from elegant private yachts to bulky cargo freighters, all vying for position, their navigation lights impatiently flickering like agitated fireflies. Our Subi yearned to escape, but felt anchored. Katcha, usually composed, emitted a low growl. Our frustration mounted. This jockeying for position was proving expensive. The Subi’s guidance system incessantly blared “Collision Alert (Minor),” each warning was complemented by a blast of avoidance energy. Days seemed to crawl by, the euphoria of the Kepler Kiss now a fading memory. This wasn't the boundless exploration we'd paid for; nothing is worse...

Darwin Jingili Water Gardens Day 1

COVID-19 2020 has shut down my travels. 

So that now I'm on my annual mid-year break I have the time to question my actions. My employment is based on a formal strategy.  High pressure and doing it. 

COVID-19 has placed barriers onto my normality. The basis of this blog is questioning the 'just doing it' normality within the confines of COVID-19 restrictions. Understanding my actions within confinement -  'we cannot know things as they are in themselves' (Kant). 

On this basis, I have dedicated part of my holiday getting to know myself getting to know Jingili Water Gardens. In short, thinking about my experiences experiencing Jingili Water Gardens. 

My initial quandary is that I do not know if this blog is a response of being free to act within restrictions or is it a 'just do it' reaction imposed by confinement.  In other words, is this aesthetic of my own freedom or is it that of an outcome derived by that of an authoritative decision? 

If I walk around Jingili Gardens taking pictures of the beauty within without knowing why I am doing it, is this my free choice? 

Do I have to question my actions to actualize my status of freedom? 'Just doing it' has a dilemma within - of not knowing but assuming freedom. I mean, not knowing whether I am free is itself the problem I want to think about.

In short, this blog is about simultaneously observing my thinking and my thoughts about my thinking. 

But why am I doing this? Wouldn't it be easier just to smell the roses without thinking about it?

I have concurrently established a lifetime career as an educator whilst maintaining a fledgling attempt of creating art. My career as an educator is in its twilight years and I have a shortish window (of hope) to understand my actions of creating art. Neither career do I wish to be 'simply meaningless'. 

COVID-19 and Jingili Water Gardens has become my first attempt to apply freedom to my actions.

 Our new itinerary is ready. Anticipation hangs in the air as partners capture a selfie within the state-of-the-art cockpit of their "Subi Compact 2-seater (pre-Collapse Jump)" vessel, readying for a personalised space tourism experience. The soft light of advanced digital displays illuminates their faces, revealing their contrasting emotions just before departing for 'Where All Machines Must Die'. BK's radiant smile broadcasts uncontained excitement, while JB's more thoughtful expression hints at a quiet apprehension for their unique detour. Katcha, the Cyborg Spoodle, offers silent reassurance, whose knowing eyes reflect his crucial role in fostering well-being and connection, and even crafting the interstellar itinerary for this journey.
