Oh Mardi, thank you for your words. May the sun always rise and the clouds continue to gather and release onto us so more can grow. May we learn to relax into doubt so much that we become buoyant again. Xxb
Drip by drip you drip feed us the truth, and really the truth is beautiful, it can raise us up. I am one of those who goes to rallies for the rights of Palestinians, unless health fells me I'm there, every week standing alongside people who lost loved ones to a brutal massacre in our city by a white supremacist who crossed the Tasman and waltzed his racism around this colonised nation, this little Britain, when he should never have stood a chance, and now they have lost others. One friend lost her aunty and all her cousins. They feared they would be killed and killed they were. Thanks Beth for this truth sharing. I haven't bought the Age of Fibs yet but I will. I need your gems.
Oh Saige, that's so sad re your friend. And now it's happening every single day in Gaza that people lose in a moment so many they love. Thank you for your vigils for peace. I am strictly armchair these days, but with you in spirit. I can send you a Pdf of Fibs if you like, but I think this is one best read in hard copy. Are you in NZ still? A bit harder to send it over the ditch.
no, the labor party has not forgotten jim cairns, but has spent 40 plus years erasing him from everyone else's memory. Lucky that some of us keep the books on such things (though I am still amazed you do it from memory). Here in any case, a little squib on JC at Prahran market https://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2024/02/17/cairns-moratorium/
That's fantastic footage of the Moratorium. Watched a bit and will watch it all later. I've forgotten what it's like to be in a crowd like that (now in my little eyrie). What an extraordinary moment. And to read in the Age article (the 1970 one I linked to) that some of the police carried guns and even shotguns is rather chilling. Vietnam woke us up back then. Palestine is doing it now.
Ahhhh Beth! A breath of fresh air is what you are/bring/be!
Thanks for simple reminders... I love how the weeds and seeds of doubt sprout and spread quietly in my self!
Then explosions of colour, changed environment and quiet action make our world worth everything again!
I take heart in winter as growth slows (less now due to climate change) as I catch up with intuitions secretly guiding my choices.
You help me see my own thoughts,fears and help me allow the natural responses to be accepted and rejoiced and reinforce integrity in action!

Great review of fibs too - wholly agree xx
