“You can’t deliberately be spontaneous. It’s like grace.”
Love some of your stuff (“Three Trees”, for example) and also, from what little I now know, the road you’ve travelled.
Congratulations, you bastard . . . .
John, I hope the intent of my comment didn’t get lost or turned upside down. After our couple of earlier exchanges, I figured you’d know where I was coming from.
Anyway, just to be clear, it was written with a mixture of admiration, humour and a smidgen of envy.
Ingolf, no offence was taken – actually enjoyed your remarks – I have been a bit busy. As further evidence of the weirdness of life, I spent most of last weekend as an attendee to the Canberra Goulburn Anglican synod and the reason for me being there goes back to the words of a pilgrim to Lord Krishna in Kerala in 2000. We were waiting for an overdue train and struck up a conversation with this Indian bloke – very successful businessman dressed down in his pilgrim clothing. At some point he turned to me and said, seriously, ” you really should be going to church.” Coming as it did from him, it was the ultimate Shane Warne wrong ‘un. You’re not a bad bastard yourself. :)
And you hit it to the boundary, it seems. Alternately, sometimes being bowled out is just what’s needed. Whichever, it’d be great to see his reaction to you at the Synod 13 years down the track.
You might like mine, while we’re in a shamelessly self-promoting mood :-)
