Why do I write? Seriously?
Sometimes, words fail me. Sad, but true. While other times, it’s as though words dance before my very eyes, mysteriously revealing themselves and the incredible images they convey. They beg me to choose them, giving them life, weaving them into meaningful streams of consciousness. They magically, mystically appear as though I am simply a conduit,…

Funny you should ask us that!
If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? I literally flew home today after a month in Europe. I would only fly with Premium Rconomy (or Business) , so the person giving away the tickets better be rich. Believe me when I say long-haul flights are exhausting, especially given how far Sydney…

How would I describe myself?
How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? Luckily there is much more to me then what simply meets the eye. Should I describe myself physically?

Misinformation and disinformation. Billionaires- and unethical sociopaths/narcissists
What bothers you and why? I vehemently dislike the misuse of power and control by those who possess disproportionate wealth – aka Billionaires such as Murdoch and Musk, who readily push their conservative agendas, using propaganda, misinformation and disinformation. I despise the fact that these type of individuals wield so much power and control, including…

Perplexing question!
List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain. I’m certain that I am writing this, or so I believe I am. Can I prove that I exist? Can I prove that it is me writing this, and not simply some programmer writing a simulation? Or an author simply writing my existence onto a page?…

Not so risk adverse?
Are you seeking security or adventure? Adventure can exist within the parameters of security,. I am not adverse to taking risks, but they are calculated risks, especially given that I am a parent. I love adventure, and being adventurous, however I am subconsciously mindful of risk and reward. Let’s face it, this is also highly…

Let me think about it…
If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? Okay, I’d love to invite great historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, philosophers, writers, poets, musicians , artists, sociologists and ethicists from early Human civilisations, right up to contemporary times. We’d share wonderful food, drink and creative energy, and as…
