Thinking spaces

Hi, welcome to my corner of the www. I’m exploring ideas about democracy, about communication, about family and our impact on the earth.

I acknowledge that I (currently) live and work on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Eastern Kulin nation, lands and sovereignty that were never ceded – and hope to move to the lands of the Taungurung people. I also acknowledge that we are in a climate crisis, and ridiculously dependent on the Indigenous Knowledge of First Nations’ people to help us navigate a path to safety.

Please come in, contribute and perhaps we can a build a journey to a better future for us and our children, where hope triumphs despair, where the suicide rates are falling and the air quality is improving. If we can do it, we’ll be doing it together.
