I’m not there. Saw this film tonight, about Bob Dylan, what defined him, from where his creative voice speaks, and all the histories and archetypes he embodies. He’s hugely gifted, people recognised his ability to say what they thought and felt on deep, deep levels. Storytelling with melodies and harmonies was how he used the [...]

Perhaps it is time to begin, from the beginning, in the days before Dumbledore, in a galaxy far, far away…
Myths and stories are essential to our evolution, information to educate us on deeper levels. Our media channels and sources need to do more to honour inherent intelligence. I’ll leave it there. For [...]

It was early 2007 or it may have been 2006 – here is a response I wrote to a former colleague about an article called fighting words Unfairenheit 9/11 The lies of Michael Moore. By Christopher Hitchens Posted Monday, June 21, 2004, at 3:26 PM ET
It was a bit prophetic really, considering the mainstream energies [...]

New Zealand Government being suckered into the global grid?
(perhaps a pseudo-headline from the fictitious Daily Chronicle?)
This morning, as all mornings, I wake up to Radio New Zealand National and you know what, Aotearoa? There’s loads of money to spend over the coming months. The government has a lot of money to spend, so [...]

Hi Brian,
Thank you for taking the time to write. After decades, truly, can’t believe I’m old enough to say that! of knowing Steven B, our paths have never crossed. In light of that, I am pleased to make your acquaintance, as I’ve also heard Mr. Steves speak of you for the same amount [...]

About the time the original 13 colonies progressed to being the United States and adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot [...]

Yesterday I received my monthly email from trendwatching.com and here are some of the highlights:
“When applying this ever-wider embrace to green products and services, the shift looks somewhat like this: we’ve gone from ECO-UGLY (ugly, over-priced, low-performance, unsavoury yet eco-friendly versions of the ‘real thing’) to ECO-CHIC (eco-friendly stuff that actually looks as nice and [...]

I had an interesting encounter today, one of those rare moments of unconditional giving and receiving, the just because at it’s most pure. We have this fabulous honey boutique in the city centre, and I stopped in to follow up about a job contract to work with them while things get under way for Uncommonly [...]

As autumn air arrives from Antarctica, the days start and end earlier. Here in New Zealand, weather is a big topic of daily discussions and Wellington is no different; hence, my mention of the weather. Our winter days are markedly shorter and it is our season where we have the least public holidays. Hence, these [...]

It is said that the masses have been hypnotised by the media. The medionic (a wendy word) machines of communications have supposedly conditioned the collective consciousness to consume, de-intellectualise through reality fantasies of the most, shall we say primal instincts? I never watched the OJ trial or any of the reality shows.

May Day, the day when the world found out Hitler was dead, the eve of Beltane.
What if we hadn’t stopped living by astronomical cycles?
My “what if” pondering for today; mind you, it isn’t really a new thought. It’s just that during recent weeks there have been collective clues showing how the historical perspective is [...]
