Hole in the Wall: REFUGE strip We have the consciousness to make sense of our physical realities. We do not have the physics to make sense of our consciousness. Why do we need to protect ourselves from our own inventions? As we normalise the killing we design safety nets that are thin and ultimately useless.

GODin Equilibrium The haste to make common sense is immediately erroneous But that doesn't seem to matter in the world of simulated comfort She will be right mate, don't fix it if it's not broken Common Sense: We need a strong response to threats The observation must be questioned if the edge is to be protected from the core Making sense require curiosity  The majority of mind matters is comforted by delusion Investigation is the only way forward Common Sense: We cannot be seen as weak History repeats under the mantra of common sense The future is ours if we collectively question The chance of choice is not within the boundary Futileness nestles within accepting commonality Our political leaders maintain fear and conflict as the broker to maintain common sense  There is a disregard of the intellect  Common Sense: We cannot be confused by complexity

What has been visioned as a cleanly planned future. With all boxes ticked. Harmonious with nature, functional and efficient. The promises that life is good. Living the advertisement. Park your car under a tree and shop.

Hole in the Wall - Roundabouts IT THINKS MY MIND It keeps happening. Every time I stop to think. My thoughts spin. I cannot grasp my mind. IT THINKS MY MIND

Who would have known Dulled and sullied There is nothing random in this fabricated ecosystem Of building on the failure to vision Whilst profiting from dealership How much land would be faced by road

A commonplace object, being within constructed consciousness. Specialized to maintain critical understanding. Allegorical manifestations that remain powerfully silent. There are no dead animals anymore. Commonalities of concrete, vistas and crafted shapes. The background is now confined by certainty and knowing. Prominence, power, and deception. This is real, isn't it?

It is the same place and same time Being in a different time and associated with the same construct So much place is taken up by the same being Is the need to move forward a priority over being in place and time? No matter how far we have traveled the same social construct has remained steadfast in place.

Godin Sickness, awaken us from our consumption. AT Deliver us from our pleasure of spending. WHAT Around and around the center we gather and prey. POINT Too sick to fling off and venture and discover meaning. IS Too weak to maintain concentration, a continuous distraction, a wanted insatiable hunger. TOO MUCH

I woke up this morning and I felt a pain in my brain. It was like all had changed and all will continue to change. Nothing was left as the same. And in this remorse I was the only one who  knew. I just can't  believe it,   no-one would believe  in what I had to say. So I yelled hard and long about all the injustices that has occurred. I stomped my feet hard to the ground. I punched through  the air to sporn my stance of knowing . I spat deceit at society. But no one knew for me and no-one wanted the goodness within my heart. I became increasing alone. In this life I can grasp the future. I see visions of what's it's to be. Messages  decrypt and whisper their intent to me. I cannot find my way to you. The more I warn the more you ignore me. The greater the detail the less you want to know. I began to hate you. Where can I cry with my love watching over me? When can I celebrate  when everything I state eventually unravels int...

Life promised so much but little favour came my way. And over this vista of nothingness I claimed what is mine. I waited for all of the promises and yet none did come. Others more fortunate gained splendor, but splendor was not me. And I gained self respect on other's misfortune. But your misfortune is not of my concern. Count your blessings and rot in your tragedy. Yes it will end in tears should you trespass my den. I do not travel,  my miracle is here. I remained close to my heritage. This colonial might. This is God's country, he gave it to me. I will deny you entry. You are contagion, you are far less than me. There are trees in my backyard, insects and lizards. Rodents scamper at my feet and bats by my ears. My dog is obedient. In silence we sit. Impatient and anxious , I do not want change. In dark moments I tend to my spite. With bottle in hand I seek like-minded. A good  man I have been. I have done no wrong. My house is clean. My ga...

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...

McGuire: In fact I reckon we should start the campaign for a one-person slide next year. Caroline Wilson. And I'll put in 10 grand straight away - make it 20. [laughter] And if she stays under, 50. [louder laughter] What do you reckon guys? Who else is up there? I know you're in JB? James Brayshaw: No, yep, Straight in. Danny Frawley: I'll be in amongst it Ed. McGuire: Is Duck there? Wayne Carey: Yes, I'm here mate. [and later] Frawley: I'll actually jump in and make sure she doesn't — I'll hold her under, Ed. McGuire: I reckon we could charge 10,000 for everyone to stand around the outside and bomb her. Damien Barrett: I'm on Caro's side now, Ed. I'm on Caro's side these days, Ed. [indecipherable] McGuire: She'll burn you like everyone else, mate. She's like the black widow. She just sucks you in and gets you and you start talking to her and then bang! She gets you. And then McGuire ends: "It'l...
