Back to gremlins in the internet. Stuff posted then disappearing.
Have been away sunning myself. Back to cold and rain! Tim Flannery has a hell of a lot to answer for! Is he still living seaside, where the seas are rising?
Had my own 'Nights in Rodanthe' moments.
A romantic wrapped in tin foil.

I went on a retreat recently.
Other like-minded people with me.
Some high profile peeps struggling, as do "normal" peeps.
Paid thousands of dollars to delve deep.
Left me rejuvenated, but feeling like we live in a cult - do this, don't do that, feel this, don't feel that.
No access to the internet, including our phones, left me oblivious to what was going on in the world.
No, I wasn't incarcerated.
I chose the retreat to try and get an understanding on why we, as humans, obsess and fixate, with zero outcome.
What I was left with, is, it's all about ego.
... and the wisdom to know the difference.
Will post more insights soon.

You mean Tim Flannery, the fossil kangaroo poo inspector?
Think of all the CO2 he's created!

I'll give Tim Flannery this; he was married to an ex heroin addict, sex worker and author, Kate Holden. Her memoir, In My Skin, is a must read.
I thank RF for gifting me the paperback version, purchased in a second-hand book store.
On-line doesn't elicit the same feeling of the soft, tactile touch of the pages.
