There is no better test of a mans integrity than his behaviour when he is wrong.

Marvin Williams...

Graciousness is not one of the traits usually shown when people are wrong.  They can  flap about madly and it appears very plainly  that it doesn't sit well with a person to be wrong in most cases.  It is a physical change that occurs in the body.  The person can feel the vibration inside of themselves, it goes high when a correct thing is done and it spirals down when an incorrect decision has been made.

I have seen a lot of spiraling down inside of these types of premises and all licensed public houses.  I have seen my life eaten away with the pushing of button's by a man who had a serious gambling issue.  My ex husband had very big issues.  He can't not accuse me of this discretion and I fear it will surface again and he already owes $20,000.00 to Mr Max Patrick of the Patrick family.  

Catherine Zita Jones could not contain herself from gasping at the site, and neither will this Catherine be able to hold back the sleeping Tiger as he pursues his prey under the stealth of surprise.  Just waiting for an opportunity to spring and then that will be that and it will all  be over.  I predicted Robyn and he would finish and I predict that he and Catherine will meet their demise inside a public gaming house.

People will hate you, rate you, shake you or break you!

But how strong you stand is what makes you.

Yes they will and for what purpose does this serve. This is my quandary I face daily.  An insatiable quest to find the reason for existence amongst ourselves and our various cultures and the common thread running a marathon through us all.   This is for no selfish reason but to just try to understand why and how humanity got to be so dumb and so blind to reality.

Have you ever wanted to bend down to a river or creek and find a gold nugget?  I have wanted to.  In fact every time I am anywhere near water or a river or creek I look very long and hard for my illusive gold nugget.

 It doesn't hurt to have an attitude of expectancy in your heart.  It shows that you understand the life you are living if you can understand what to expect you should be doing.

I expect we are totally meant to be drinking water that is fresh and pure and clean and beautiful.  Why  do we allow our councils to do this to our water supply!  Adding fluoride and various other contaminants all in the name of good health

Local Made - Photography workshop.

 Sometimes in life there are great people in the world who fully understand that all people don't have much funding behind them at certain times.  It was one of those times yesterday and I am grateful of the Local Made people for making this happen and for bringing the editor of Reverb to Bellingen  to speak to us regarding photographing musical acts and  bands.  Band Photography as it is aptly called.

Yesterday afternoon Montana my daughter and I attended eagerly and  it was great to learn something new about my photography.  I have been chipped many times for taking pics sideways and I have been told this is wrong and to frame up my shots perfectly.  I have taken many cross ways shots I call them but I have binned them all too.  No more folks.  I learned today that this is acceptable and is the way decent photographers use the full scope of their camera and of the angles available.

I am going to employ this technique as soon as possible. Perhaps this weekend at Local Made and the bands that are appearing.

And that divine essence, called free will, is love. It is the gift of love from God to each of you.

 This morning I adopted a son.  His name is Jake Cluedoew and he is 26 years old. He is a rapper from Adelaide.  He has true mother loving flow.  I listened and it was good flow..  He lost his parents to war.  He said he wanted a mother and I said I am in serious need of a son actually.  So as the saying goes one door may close but there are always plenty of others that are waiting for you to put your hand on the handle and turn it.

Lots of peeps out there have internet mummy's  I know of two personally and I am absolutely positive there are many.  Well now I have an internet son.    I'm sure he would make me a coffee if I was in Adelaide.  It would be nice to have a cup of coffee that a son made for a mother.  I have never had one.  A cup of coffee made by my son that is.  I missed that bit.  One day maybe Jake will make me a cup of coffee instead.

A lovely little documentary except for the various misconceptions.  Some of the place names are incorrect.  The information of the area depicts only white civilization.

Not a mention of the indigenous people in the area.  No mention of the hideous murders that took place here when this place was settled by white man.  No mention of the many people who have gone missing never to be seen or heard of again in the more recent years post commune living.

Urunga on the coast mentioned in this documentary  is the place of the Long White Sands and it is a place of indigenous abundance of food and shelter.  Yes, Tom Myles did come here and the  town of Mylestom was built not MYLESTROM as was said in the documentary.  Other wise Tom Myles would have been TROM MYLES.  More research on the subject required here I think. 

Did I hear a mention of The mountain in the back ground known as Nungalli that is of special significance to the dreaming.  It is a warrior laying down sleeping.  Cast into the mountain by the tribe because he screwed up big time.

Looking down Hyde Street from the western end of the main street.

  Yes, It is an easy going place now however the LAST aboriginal massacre took place on the north side of the river in the vicinity of where the Life House church is now.  The place has an invisible curse that cannot be seen by the uninitiated and the smoking of the place is a constant necessity to keep the peace with the spiritual caretakers.

Yes, it is a small town and unlike what was portrayed on the video team sports do figure big in Bellingen and many great athletes have come from the town of Bellingen. and as the local Bellingen FC has the biggest junior club in the on the north coast so then I would say it figures very big.

It is a myth spread for years now that Bellingen is some kind of Utopia of mind, body and spirit.  This was a dream thought up through the haze of smoke from someones bamboo billie in the early 1970's when it really was a sleepy dreamy little place with a climate perfect for building a self sufficient lifestyle without too much hassle due to adequate rainfall and timber.  Things have changed a terrible lot since then.  I stand now on the outside of the bubble that surrounds the town of Bellingen.  There are a lot of us who feel and even see this manifestation.   When you come out from underneath it the world becomes a brighter more precious place as you once again touch reality.

The place is in a hole - look up the word valley in the dictionary, one of its meanings is hole.
