I’ve tried hard not to comment on your piece here. This represents failure.
You live in NSW Australia as do I. We are subject to the same political propaganda from both State and Federal Governments. Your proposition here to me represents the latest iteration of an attempt to hide these authority’s incompetence and need to open up the economy for the benefit of profits.
We have been through ‘if it gets worse we may have to’ (reactive rather than proactive); bestows partial limited lockdowns only after the proverbial horse has bolted; ‘vaccine resistance’ (when demonstrably there weren’t enough vaccine available); attempt to reduce emphasis on number of infections and highlight number of vaccinations when now, belatedly, there is more supply.
And now, to date ( there may be more cons to come) your proposition is attempting to gain traction. There are a couple of other States, who for their sake, I hope will never comply.

The Within

\'No matter, No mind\'
that\'s where all-that philosophical discourse
amounted to, in the middle ages..
scarred generations - away
from studying the metaphysical questions of life,
and insured science got stuck
in that endless loop of reverse engineering
all we glean from nature, for that satisfyingly
result yielding fast-tracked \'progression\'..
personally I think, we as people
are still children, on the ladder of evolution
for everything we do, is done to distract ourselves
from that painstakingly dreary, quintessential prerequisite
of first understanding our most basic choices...!
if you can\'t understand something mundane about yourself
like why a random individual gets under your skin
for no apparent reason, enough for you to waste your life
trying to effect - their life;
then what chance do we have of trying to understand
the truly complex mysteries of our lives..
its like trying to comprehend, without first evolving
to develop, the required capacity to listen and observe...
(wonderful, a rare treat for those
who still like our philosophical ponderings, sipped
refreshingly bold) lol
thanks for sharing

Yes life is so full of mystery and you pen well the questions that spring to mind on consciousness - - \"all sharing with all\" in this thing called withiness is the nearest I feel that we can get. Thanks for the thoughtful posting my friend.

To Fell Fear Quell Anxiety
Lorna said:
Great explanations here and wise advice.... recently I\'ve stopped reading so much news (it\'s the loaded gun for me) and feel so much better. It\'s especially hard to know of so much awfulness and not be able to do anything about it.

Sandbag of Dreams

firstly I love that picture! reminded me
it was time I visited Dickens\' bequeathed magic again;
and this, is a great line:
\'Set a goal to remember
that you’re dreaming
to become lucid.\'

It does indeed fit that very special art/philosophy. The antithesis of our throwaway society.
Simple satisfying read for me. Thanks.

Bought back a memory or two.
Would watch that for hours as a kid; loved the random patterning , guesses when the drops would start rolling and which path it would take...little things...
Captured for me nicely.

the more succinct our poetry
the more crucial our choice wording
where we unveil, gems
like \'milieu\': utilised, with transcendent beauty
(a wonderful haiku
centred in its Natural habitat
executed, with practised ease)

Understand your position perfectly as I am subjected to precisely the same debate as you. Fills media segment after media segment - drives me nuts.
But I cannot leave it alone when the Pollies, the decision makers make crap decisions - especially in NSW.
Great little senyrus, BTW.
