Sleep, Australia, Sleep
Paul Kelly has released a new song, 'Sleep, Australia, Sleep',
addressing the inaction of the Australian government in response to
the climate crisis. He says it is a lament in the form of a lullaby. Par-
adoxically, it can also be heard as a wake up call – a critique of the
widespread attitude amongst humans that we are the most im-
portant life form on the planet. Listen to it here: https://youtu.be/-

Blessed are the Weird
"Blessed are the weird people - poets, misfits, writers, mystics, heretics,
painters, troubadours— for they teach us to see the world through dif-
ferent eyes...
Blessed are you who see beauty in ugliness, for you shall transform our
vision of how the world might be ...
Blessed are those who have endured breaking by life, for they are the
resplendent cracks through which the light shines."
- Jacob Nordby
