Thanks for dropping by!
This is my first blog attempt so please forgive the glitches and the misfires. In the spirit of the collective creative space which we all increasingly occupy I am committed to attempting engagement and contribution, and leaving behind my more typical aspirations of perfection in all things.
This site is accordingly likely to remain quirky, random and eclectic (a little like its author some might say!). I am interested in a wide range of things: from humanity’s need to identify – quickly – more equitable, robust and integrated economic and natural resource management models; to renewable energy and localisation; to community self-determination and resilience; to science and technology and space; to the phenomenon of the burgeoning social media; to philanthropy and social entrepreneurs; to indigenous communities in all of their colour and diversity; to art, music and writing.
As well as exploring these various frontiers, and pondering the interconnections and interdependencies and the myriad resulting possibilities, I am also keen to use that random walk to explore self.
Namaste!
