September poem
Published on 2009-10-07 04:45:00
a cheeky little dropmoist, bold and refreshingit cleanses the palette like an exquisite winebitter and familiar like lagerwarm and flat, cold and sparklingit is the essence of homeyet carries untold mysteries from afarwarm and comfortingharsh and unforgivingit brings new hope and ancient fearsI welcome it into my life each morninga breath of fresh airthe sea breeze.
Climate politics at the Pacific Island Forum

Pacific leaders are meeting in Cairns today for the Pacific Island Forum. In recent years the agenda has been dominated by issues of regional stability including the intervention in the Solomons and more recently the troubling political events in Fiji. But with the forum happening in Australia for the first time in over a decade, and climate change at the top of the international political agenda, other issues are set to dominate. Pacific Islands are literally on the front line of climate change
The power of doubt
Published on 2009-06-09 05:20:00
I caught a snippet of a beautiful poem whilst listening to the radio the other day. On being right. And being certain. And on the beauty and importance of doubt.From the place where we are rightFlowers will never bloom in the spring.The place where we are rightIs hard, and trampled like a yard.But doubts and loves dig up the worldLike a mole, a plough.And a whisper will be heard in the placeWhere the ruined house once stood.Yehudah Amichai.
