Every stop is a story - Darwin to Adelaide River

  Every stop is a story - Darwin to Adelaide River The Adelaide River Rupture (image to be uploaded - subscribe to be notified) The storm did not break over the Adelaide River plains; rather, reality tore open along the track. To the left, the familiar Top End landscape clung fiercely to its quiet melancholy. A lone gum tree stood sentinel over the charred scrub and dry earth, its leaves catching the last bruised light of a brooding wet-season sky. In the hollow below, the old fictional homestead crouched beside the rutted dirt road, enduring the heavy stillness that always settles before the atmosphere ruptures. Then came the tear. It began not with thunder, but with an overwhelming, luminous heat that shredded the grey overcast into molten ribbons. You could feel the vortex of raw energy sweeping through radiant ambers, searing cadmium oranges, and blinding celestial whites. The vortex descended like a folded dimension brushing against the earth. Where the atmospheric rift touch...

The Sky is Dark

  The sky is dark, and the clouds are gathering ominously. The earth beneath us is parched and cracked, and we know a storm is coming.  The problem is overwhelming, and yet we lack the sense of urgency and immediate action needed to address it.  We have all been crowded into large cities, where our voices are silenced and the needs of society neglected.  Our leaders act in secrecy and ignore our problems, leaving us feeling like we are being swept under the rug.  We stand at a crossroads, frozen by the weight and significance of the decision that we must make.  Our written histories show us that we have always been able to innovate, problem-solve, and transform when we come together.  Let us link arms in unity and face the sunrise. Together, we can transform into a collective community that believes in positive change.  We must demand that our elected leaders create a flourishing society that addresses and resolves the destructive problems we face...

Went out Pokemon hunting with my android cell phone. In case of accident I always take some friends. Then it occurred to me this, was something I really enjoy. This urge has been around for years. I need to get out and about and discover our environment. Our children are locked within the boundaries of school. They are all locked in and hard skill assessed. Placed on a conveyor belt and sorted into hierarchical pathways. Public school stripped of all that is creative. Even the arts are disciplined. In school -where is the sense of fun and play and being part of it all. What if formal learning was stationed like Pokemon go. Where youth could congregated and learn in multiple locations. Where learning encouraged youth to collectively gather and play. Where unstructured activity blended with formal knowledge. Where youth gained freedoms to self-govern, create rules, problem-solve and resolve social conflicts. The employment skills of tomorrow require youth who ca...
