The Wind is not to be trusted. A breeze is pleasant, but the Wind is chaos, mischief, malice. It moans and wails and then slaps you in the face when you check on it. It wants to get inside your hair, your bones, your house, and make everything untidy. Do not trust the Wind.

Ok so there are 2 boats, one intercepted by the Sri Lankan navy & one by the Australian Border Force. I was told April 26 there would be 2 boats coming, allegedly facilitated by Sri Lankan authorities, due to arrive by May 21. Described as an “election stunt”. I couldn’t verify.

I’m very sleepy when I first wake up and before I lie down, but there’s a period of about ten minutes during the day when I’m bright and alert and that's when magical things happen.

What's happening in Kooyong is both really complicated and really simple. Power and privilege are being challenged by hope and integrity. Read this piece and see why it matters. #Mon4Kooyong #auspol theage.com.au/politics/feder…

I feel like half the reason there's an epidemic of loneliness in our culture is because we set so much store on romance and have forgotten the beauty of deep, committed friendship.
