"It's alright letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back."

Mick Jagger

A sunburnt country

"It brought me a new understanding of how, unless you're connected with the land, you're not really connected with yourself or the nation. And Australians, I think, are slowly beginning to realise that the land owns us, we don't own the land. It's taken climate change to achieve that. And you get this sense of forces which are outside your control."

"But it was in Australia that I gained my first impressions of the beauty of the world, and it was the Bush that taught me. "

Bill Bryson

Amen!

i love love

 

 The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.

"The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively."

Bob Marley

I never saw a place so full of life...

Diwali in Jaipur...

India feeds my soul

one

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say

I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say

I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will live as one

Good advice

 

“Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises, don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned about doing good work. Protect your work and if you build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency. Life is like a roller coaster ride, it is never going to be perfect. It is going to have perfect moments and rough spots, but it’s all worth it”

Patti Smith

will I ever get there? does it really matter?

Everyday, back and forth, what's it for?

I don't know, I'll get out, won't have to check my watch

I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side

Why I ever tried, I don't know

Oh, dare I face the real world

Gonjasufi

You're the devil
You're the one that divides this place
This place so divided
If united we stand
then we ain't gonna to fall
Children walk on both hands
While man still learnin' to crawl
Children fucking blowin' up malls
Grown men fucking blow-up dolls

My Rainbow Beach read...

"...And I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop...”
