Death to The Art of Prudence
Posted on | January 3, 2005 |
The principal new year resolution is that we be resolute. For too long I have been content with a cramped space, curbing the imagined lengths of my will, my hope and my fear. Speculation doesn’t seem enough anymore. There are too many reminders that our time is finite, and so many of you I want to learn from. It shouldn’t have needed a new year to realise this - but thanks anyway for all you’ve shared with me in 2004.

Aumento Wit and the Art of Ingenuity?

Its only when we’ve been cramped in confined imaginations that we have psychological muscles to flex. If there’s anything more satisfying than seeing a friend flex their energies after a period of quiet, I haven’t seen it.
I am resolute for more skirmishes in faraway places, to escape the cycle of reverberation that Melbourne ensorcells me in at times like this. I say ‘open up’ but I’m closing down as I do. Time for a break.

Does Brisbane count as a faraway place?
Don’t wander too far Xian, we need you.

I’d love to visit Brisbane, actually. I’m so pasty and indoorsy of late, some sun and sweat might do me good.
I’m English by birth, so there’s still a lot of work to do before I can toy with an ersatz nationalism. Namely, a tan.
Paying rent and holidays don’t connect up well, though. I’ll work on it.

Mel, those sentiments are repeated and returned with hefty interest. And christian, make the trip up north soon!

I’d love to, I’ll have to find an excuse to go, though, like a conference or exhibit. I was thinking the end of this month, so let me know if there’s anything on the horizon. (and if Brisvegas hostels are okay.)
