The Biggest Rug – 22nd July 2022

Now that news is entertainment
There’s nothing worth knowing
It’s there to serve a purpose
To prevent your knowledge growing

A movie star’s divorce
Is more newsworthy than war
When the injured are at home
And understand what the fighting is for

The rug is getting bigger
Where all the garbage is brushed
Tricked to believe in freedom
Whilst watching it being crushed

We need each other to become ourselves.

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful for our crazy passionfruit plants that are providing me with so much fruit to enjoy. Then there’s the crazy pumpkin that also may actually give us food that doesn’t get eaten by insects this year.

We got that attitude! – 7th April 2021

I am so happy and grateful to the boat driver yesterday who took us around to snorkelling locations and to a quiet beach to eat lunch – he showed us many things and I could feel he was a good person despite not being able to understand each other’s languages. He picked up garbage wherever he could despite knowing that it’s a losing battle and the only way to fix it would make him jobless.
