Fight Fire With Sapphire!

Fellow travellers, as we all know, Gaia is constantly telling humanity how angry She is with us. Yet, so often we just don't get it. (Well, we get it, of course. But the rest of humanity - that is, The Great Unloofahed - sure don't!)

And here's a perfect example: During a news broadcast in Melbourne, the camera that captures the city skyline projected behind the newsreader was attacked by a seagull. Because of its proximity to the lens, it looked like a giant, monstrous creature.

No doubt they will come up with some "rational" explanation involving genetic mutation, or perhaps interbreeding with lizards. But these will be inadequate, and inaccurate.

Fellow travellers, it is with great joy that I finally return to the blogosphere to resume my cyber-activism!

As you all know, I had blogged continually in the past. But ongoing cyber-stalking from the appalling Matt Hayden and other mean-spirited reich-wingers sapped my spiritual reserves until they were almost bone dry. And considering how rich I am in such karmic energy, that's saying something!

During a particularly depressing period, I was reminded of that Buddhist exhortation: surrender a...
