Lord, thank you for words. But even then, there is so much inequality in the world; even when it comes to words. Some have the privilege to be able to learn words. Learn grammar. Become literate. Some don’t.
Us fortunate ones, we are so complacent. So content. Heads in the sand. Not willing to give up what we have to help those in need.
Injustice. Grain to feed the cows to feed the over-nourished rich people.
Why are the rich so discontent? Because they know that things don’t line up. Their excess consumption eats away at their souls.
If everyone could just keep to themselves, be void of choice, perhaps everyone would live peacefully. No confusion about how to live life.
But things have changed. Now we have choice in abundance. Choice to choose not to choose. Choosing to choose choice over no choice. Deep discontent in souls.
How are we to connect with you? How do we all connect with you without blood shed from the soul. Am I right? Are they right? How do we interact without searing, scarring friction?
Beauty. Fear of beauty. Beauty betrayed. Avoidance of aesthetic expression, lest the Devil tear our eyes from the pulpit.
Where have we gone wrong?
Creator of the Universe, answers please.

Could Micro Four Thirds cameras be the future of travel photography?
I was in Akihabara in Tokyo today, having a little browse through the massive array of electronics stores, when I came across these little beauties. Essentially SLR cameras which weigh half the weight of a full DSLR. About half the price too. And they even record HD video. How can these not be the absolute dead-pan favourite of cycle tourers and other human-powered travellers?
And with lenses like these being developed, the mind boggles as to the perfect suitability of these cameras for fast and light missions, when awesome depth of field, crisp optics, and versatility are called for. From video to stills, these look awesome.
So far it looks like Panasonic and Olympus are the only makers to forge the way ahead with these types of ‘Macro SLR’ camera, but you can be sure that I now have a new item to add to my wish-list!
