Decided to do something different for my 60th and run 60 miles through the Blue Mountains. In the words of my dad "that's something a wee bit different."

La Perouse Aboriginal community has been reunited with four spears taken by James Cook in 1770 from Kamay (Botany Bay).

The spears are being permanently returned to Country after 254 years. We're honoured to assist the community with their long-term care.

My wife is gone, my girl is gone,
my books are loaned, my clothes
are worn, I gave away a car; and
all that happened years ago.
Mind & matter, love & space
are frail as foam on beer.

Practically speaking, a life that is vowed to simplicity, appropriate boldness, good humor, gratitude, unstinting work and play, and lots of walking brings us close to the actual existing world and its wholeness.

[Gary Snyder @GarySnyderQuote]

Place and the scale of space must be measured against our bodies and their capabilities.

[Gary Snyder @GarySnyderQuote]

I hold the most archaic values on earth... the fertility of the soul, the magic of the animals, the power-vision in solitude... the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe.
