COMMUNITY | Projects, Networks, Connections
With several workshop and presentation events marked in the Long Time, No See? Project’s diary, I’ve been giving some thought to various ideas informing the project and how we can make the most of them for our conversations with others. While letting my mind wander this morning, I started to join some more dots between […]

A busy mind is useless. This morning I decided to take a longer than usual bike ride to clear my head so that I can spend most of the weekend focusing on some pressing tasks. Having reached Lemke Road, I thought I could cycle along the Deagon Deviation bikeway, which I have not ridden yet; […]

A bike ride to Sandgate market this morning in the bracing autumn cool as the sun slowly pulls at long shadows; returning with a jar of locally produced honey as well as a surprise for John. Buying the honey was a quiet laconic moment. Ambling along the line of stalls and not really looking at […]

Writing, specifically my writing, feels broken lately. Or, if not broken, then perhaps breaking and brittle. Not quite holding together, not fluid or flexible. Too utilitarian to be useful. This breaking feels somewhat tender and tenuous. What I am yet to figure is whether this break is fracture or puncture, fissure or wounding. A breaking […]
