"As we extinguish a large portion of the planet's biological biodiversity, we will lose also a large portion of our world's beauty, complexity, intellectual interest, spiritual depth and ecological health...[the] future we're presently headed toward...is a future of soul withering biological loneliness."
Self-portrait 2026
This website deals with sadness and practice.
The paradox of sitting with current realities,
whilst constantly calling in a biodiverse, human-caring future,
like "kulning" to the universe.
Dedication
Made for water.
Made for trees.
Acknowledgement
I acknowledge the Gullibul people whose Country I live on/with, and the Githabul, Bundjalung, Yaegl, Gumbaynggirr and Dhunghutti peoples whose lands I move across regularly for work and play, and the Ngunnawal people whose land/Country is where my umbilical cord enters the soil, and all the people who originate from the land/waters of this continent - I acknowledge you as one of the wisest culture/s on earth and among the most hurt. I pay my respect to all those who have suffered by the acts and at the hands of the Settler and Immigrant cultures I am descended from, which tells of a long dense history of people locked in battle.
May our species evolve into living complexity - connection/ interdependence/ balance/ scale - and resume our collective responsibility as caretakers of this wondrous home/planet.
