25.01.2022 Always a blessing to read Charles’ essays. https://charleseisenstein.org/essays/world-on-fire/

24.01.2022 Anyone travelling Gold Coast way....pop up to Tambourine Mountain for a real gourmet treat of food and art.

19.01.2022 Some good analysis here that makes more sense than so many ‘lockdown’ rules.

19.01.2022 Such a perfect way of explaining the issues of our time (even think medical)

16.01.2022 Such a great overview of government process and the power of the people.

15.01.2022 Cathy Wilcox nails it again.

15.01.2022 Gosh this is good, and beautifully explains nuances that so much Western narrative misses (deliberately or not). Love the comment that taxing billionaires should be about building a universal health care system, not building a hospital with their name on it

14.01.2022 Indeed. A small detail missed that I would like to highlight - when billionaires do their so called philanthropy it is handed over with conditions/strings attached (moulding the world their way through another means). And as I read somewhere recently, often philanthropy monies go towards other rich organisations to distribute to the poor - ie making more rich people rich before it ‘trickles’ into the laps of those who are often poor through rich exploitation. A lovely merry go round (without the merry for the majority).

14.01.2022 Physical distancing isn’t enough to keep you safe. Now emotional distancing is a mandatory guideline

13.01.2022 A particularly helpful overview of what seems to be happening. Yay, for Vitamin D.

13.01.2022 How interesting!

13.01.2022 Reckon this will be a goodie

11.01.2022 Just the data - just love the Irish accent too! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8UvFhIFzaac

10.01.2022 Wowee. Love it. Even got a giggle from this: "In the absence of explicit, widely-shared and enriching rites of passage, young men in particular are forced to make themselves up as they go along. Which usually means they put themselves together from spare parts, and the stuff closest to hand tends to be cheap and defective. And that’s dangerous." Yep, cheap and defective indeed :) https://www.theguardian.com//about-the-boys-tim-winton-on-

09.01.2022 Oh my, this is so good. The separate world of experts and policy makers.... feel familiar?

06.01.2022 Highly highly recommend a listen - especially if you are feeling vulnerable and voiceless during all this covid madness. Think border closures as just one example of this feeling.....Has there been over reach or disproportionate reactions, or outside monopolistic influences? This is a simple calm reasoned voice pulling individual voices together.

06.01.2022 Some powerful perspectives to consider.... Also liked this snippet that I have never heard before ‘... just what Oscar Wilde had in mind when he quipped that the United States was the only country to go from barbarism to decadence without passing through civilization’

05.01.2022 Oh I do like this one

03.01.2022 Now Australia - very curious?!

01.01.2022 You’ll love this . 1. In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have ...'the rule of thumb.' 2. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only... Ladies Forbidden'... and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language. 3. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history: Spades - King David, Hearts - Charlemagne, Clubs -Alexander the Great, Diamonds - Julius Caesar 4. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... 'goodnight, sleep tight.' 5. It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon. 6. In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down.' It's where we get the phrase 'mind your P's and Q's' 7. Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim or handle of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. 'Wet your whistle' is the phrase inspired by this practice. 8. In 1696, William III of England introduced a property tax that required those living in houses with more than six windows to pay a levy. In order to avoid the tax, house owners would brick up all windows except six. (The Window Tax lasted until 1851, and older houses with bricked-up windows are still a common sight in the U.K.) As the bricked-up windows prevented some rooms from receiving any sunlight, the tax was referred to as daylight robbery! Now, there you have the origin of these phrases. Interesting isn’t it!!

01.01.2022 I don’t know.... this just does not seem to provide a real explanation for those mystery seeds. Take the information and use it, but why bother sending anything? And with the seeds, why no details in the package? This just does not sit right in my mind....especially for seed deliveries. Just odd.

01.01.2022 How wonderful is this? https://m.youtube.com/watch
