Random and inconsistent snippets from an unstructured mind. My truth may not be your truth. A fact is a fact only by standing on it.
It can't fall down, there is nothing holding it up...
Except some sort of capitalist exploitation. The writer is a 3rd generation Indigenous Australian. Not, i might add, Aboriginal - two different concepts.

Lord of all I survey
Once upon a time, i was. No governments, no rules. I am beholden only to the wind and the sea.
I know that feeling! (smiling) Mine was the sea and a motor though....billfishing on a 60'Hatterus....in the open waters for days...wish I had those days and years back!!!
Do have a few friends that are sailors though....and have been all over....oh what peace!!!
D'ya know Davo, I often think of Mary Ann Damnable Conklin and the whaling boat she sailed on with her husband, which must have been about the most exciting thing to do at the time.

Good to meet you liquidplastic :>)
Yup, Gerry. From 1986 to 1999 it was my home, my joy (and by burden). Freedom is just another word for being within the wind and the sea.
LP, Thank you.
MD, Amias is a very special person and writer.
