written under demand in two minutes
Brian Brandenburgh of Wynnum Writers meeting on the 3rd November 2009, requested the profile of a place to be written within two seconds and this is what I wrote:
Brian wants me to write a paragaph about a place, a description of it. There have been many places, so which one? How about the Murchison? Now there's a place. Spring is out of this world in the Murchison. The red soil, stunted mulga trees, winding creek beds lined with eucalyptus and coolibahs; sandy and dry, but now after winter rains, the red soil is smothered with wildflowers. Pink and white everlastings, yellow belly buttons, mauve and green mulla mulla and even that exotic rosy dock. Budgies land on the brilliant red sturt peas turning them to green.

The Sacred Volume Of Law Prospective On Wealth

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, But shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; We spend more, but have less; We buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; More conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense;More knowledge, but less judgment;More experts, but more problems; More medicine, but less wellness.We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, Drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom,… and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; We’ve added years to life, not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, But have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
