WORK IN PROGRESS
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.

Subject: NEW ZEALANDERS ARE BETTER THAN JOINING IN THE MEDIOCRITYDear Editor,NEW ZEALANDERS ARE BETTER THAN JOINING IN THE MEDIOCRITYAs 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 Williams8 Palmer LaneDarlinghurst NSW 2010
