A MOMENT IN THE SUN

Recently I spent three weeks in Wellington New Zealand 
primarily to seek out aged care homes 
and also to acquaint myself with my eventual sunset
(or is it sunrise?) city.
I was there to get a grounding on the place. 

And I found myself sitting on a park bench 
waiting to meet a Kiwi friend 
before having lunch together locally.

Truly the most enjoyable thing I did 
during those three weeks 
was to sit on that park bench 
and let the Sun shine on my face. 
Heaven!
This is what it's all about.

That is the thing I will remember of that visit 
to windy, cold Wellington. 
But then Wellington wasn't wet and cold. 
It was warm and welcoming.  - Neville Williams

Subject: NEW ZEALANDERS ARE BETTER THAN JOINING IN THE MEDIOCRITY


Dear Editor,

NEW ZEALANDERS ARE BETTER THAN JOINING IN THE MEDIOCRITY

As a visiting Australian who hopes to live in Wellington New Zealand your article (“The Australian Warning: How close is NZ to triggering China’s wrath” Times July 19) was of interest.

Bullying no matter whether initiated by China, America, Australia, New Zealand or anyone always is a stop to anything actually creative in content happening and usually leads to something destructive. I get it that NZ joining the AUKUS pact might shore up a response to a bullying China. But isn’t New Zealand in a good position to focus on and initiate truly great creative initiatives that might bring a “United States of Oceania - USO” closer together co-operating and supporting each other on every level not just defence against any bully?

We all need to start looking at the bigger picture. 
We humans seem to have little problem allocating time, energy and funds to anything to do with defence issues (read fear motivated) but when it comes to allocating anything to peace initiatives it is seen as wasteful! Why? 

We need a reprogramming of our software up top.

New Zealand might better help the Asia/Pacific/Oceania region by getting our values resorted. New Zealanders are better than the mediocrity that exists in our World presently.


Lead the way Kiwi’s. (We don't seem to be doing it in Australia! Gone to sleep?)

Warm regards,

Neville Williams
