Jingili Water Garden Restricted Freedom

Covid-19 2020
Just do it
Barriers onto my normality
Just do it
Being free to act within restrictions
Just do it
We cannot know things as they are in themselves (Kant)


Darwin Jingili Water Gardens 
The mango trees are all in bloom.

My life is in bloom. At 60. In the shadows of COVID-19. From what I visioned as the year of synchronicity 2020 has on the surface has, all but shut down.

Social barriers box in my normality. Instead of travel, I’m staying home.  Australia has shut down its borders, and so have I. 

So after a massive start, working under pressure, and meet stressful deadlines, I am questioning what it is I do. Do I meaner through my holidays without care and intensity? That is, feeling relaxed without care.
This self-reflection is about ‘just do it.’ 

I have dedicated myself to education for decades, and I am fastly approaching retirement. Since my early years as an artist and extended absence, I have fantasized about returning to a creative life choice. Even though I have maintained creating art on the side, I know this is a big challenge. I know one thing, I do not want to create art for art's sake.  

My challenge is me, and the type of art I want to produce. I want my art to be substantial, intentional and have an impact. It must have something to say to encapsulate the viewer outwardly and inwardly.

My starting point is, 'we cannot know things as they are in themselves' (Kant). 

Jingili Water Gardens will be my inspiration.

My philosophical purpose is creativity. 

My social purpose is considering how wealth and consumption control creativity.

Repetitive walks around Jingili Water Gardens will refine my thinking.
 
On this basis, I have dedicated part of my holiday getting to know myself by getting to know Jingili Water Gardens.

Jingili Circumnavigated Apical

Image
  Remembering what the imperial powers set in place. Civilization, Christianity, and Commerce. The essential values justify achievement and superiority. To inflict an ideological belief of inferiority. And to punish cultures into subservience and dependency. Masters and soldier ants. Each time we try to free ourselves. Sovereign power adjusts its grid of discipline. A correction to form a new normal. A nation of docile subjects. Humanising pest control. From less suffering to more suffering. From pest controller to pest and back again. Forming another correction and resetting our new normal. Who controls our benefactor? According to the Gospel of Wealth. Our pests make our life difficult Miserable We need solutions The door behind the curtain Trying to controlling them From and then to Until domestication becomes Apical dominance One-off sponsorship You Tube

Jingili Water Gardens The Fall

Image
  From behind this veil I can see everything and everyone You only see me as a shadow  I sometimes get lost in the camouflage You try to remain civil and courteous Inside, I have no need Outside, you have no idea Here I am on my crafted net In my domain Waiting for you to enter To select the choice Convinced  As unconstrained And Free It is not sufficient. To ransom our future on exponential growth. A future of class division. Where the unprofitable is marginalized.

Are you on the bus

  Are you on the bus? What is your destination? Will you cross the road? What is behind the machine? The privilege of possessing a curious mind and an urge to make sense. When Flinders circumnavigated New Holland. He took Trim. Suitable for service. Faithful and affectionate. So it became. Forging ahead and getting around restrictions. Breaking national protections. Cutting the red tape. To this day Encroachments are made to preserve Australia's prosperity. And maximizing returns, by reorganizing structures. To maintain productivity and continuous growth.

Being too Busy to Think

The BIG Issue: Exhausted Teachers cannot reform For so many reasons most teachers I talk to say that they are busy. Busier year after year.   Burnout Burnout often affects people in helping professions: lawyers, doctors, social workers, managers and teachers, among others. For teachers, working with students means constantly trying to respond to their needs while simultaneously meeting the various demands of the organisation. When teachers feel that there is a mismatch between all these demands and the available resources they have for coping with them, stress is induced. The usual culprits mentioned are: lack of time, ideas, materials, expertise and support. https://goo.gl/k8vzJY This is not unusual Almost half of new teachers leave the profession in their first year because of an excessive workload and 'exhausted and stressed colleagues', a union leader has warned. The number has tripled in six years, according to an analysis of figures by the Association of
