FREE! TO BE*
In this ‘Wild Wild West’ of our own creation we have been weaned on a smorgasbord education that we should look after ourselves. When in balance that is all well and good.
But what does that amount to in this post Covid backwash?
It’s not a healthily balanced time in our world. If it ever has been?
We’re so busy trying to hold onto our standard of living that we are losing our quality of life.
Likewise our free will.
We’re so determined to be “free! to be"* that we make a prisoner of ourselves with our own cemented and limiting values, ideas and beliefs.
Then we are so absolutely sure that the material world and achievement of one sort or another is where it’s at that we smother our own spirit.
And human beings wonder why so much of their time and space is occupied by unhappiness.
While most certainly given the free will to go out and fuck things up we also have the free will to make things right. Isn’t it about time for a reset? That is up to all of us to take a step off the not so merry-go-round and move forward with our lives as conscious individuals.
That’s a conscious choice that needs to be made.
The happiest people I know seem to understand the art of giving. In a world that presents as being addicted to its own small minded self concern how can we change ourselves to give because we actually want to do so?
That’s the journey. Certainly my journey.
Enjoy the trip along the way. - Neville ☺︎
*"FREE! TO BE” is the theme of the 2025 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

contained within an Olympian runner's baton located
on this artist's artwork titled...
“OUR FUTURE - STOP, LOOK & LEAP”
(including the artwork itself)
will be released to the care of a group of people
who our Australian Community identify as
“THE SPIRIT OF BENNELONG PROJECT TEAM”.
This group would be responsible (along with some other specific elements involved in a Sydney World Expo) for initiating “Twin Trusts” - A “Youth Creative Trust” and a “First Nations Youth Creative Trust” to nurture the creative talents of young Australians.
Does it need to be said here that they are our future?
We need to encourage them.
It’s not my job to get bogged down in the details. It is my job to pass the baton on.
In these notes I am dealing with a broad brush stroke hopefully doing an artist’s job by providing some inspiration for others who are qualified to flesh out or add meat to the bones. To make imagination real and solid.
The previously mentioned rights excludes one item - A Sydney World Expo Flag.
I'm not that giving. - Neville ☺︎
This is the subject for...
Talking about giving.
Saying YES or NO consciously.
What is your vision for YOO?
