Looking Back

Looking Back, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
— Robert Frost

Foreboding

Foreboding, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"The artist, and particularly the poet, is always an anarchist in the best sense of the word. He must heed only the call that arises within him from three strong voices: the voice of death, with all its foreboding, the voice of love and the voice of art."
— Federico García Lorca

With the financial stormclouds gathering again I fear our much vaunted western civilisation is on the verge of a major shipwreck against the immovable cliffs of our unsustainable lifestyles and expensive foreign wars.

These are the cliffs between Anglesea and Bells Beach on Australia's Surf Coast... otherwise know as the Shipwreck Coast and home to many a shipwreck over the years.

Serenity

Serenity, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
