The Older I Get, The More I Feel Those Kinds Of Ghosts - Especially The Women In My Life - Moving Out Of The Shadows A Bit More And Becoming More Present In My Life.

If You're Australian, You Feel It In Your Bones Because You're At Odds With Everybody Else, Except Other Australians, In The Sense That People Always Seem To Be Behaving Strangely. People Always Seem To Be Behaving The Wrong Way, In A Different Way. You Say Things And There Are Silences.

We Cannot Afford To Be Idle. To Act On A Bad Idea Is Better Than To Not Act At All. Because The Worth Of The Idea Never Becomes Apparent Until You Do It.

If You Could Hold Onto That Flame, Great Things Could Construct Around It, That Are Massive And Powerful And World Changing, All Held Up By The Tiniest Of Ideas.
