28 October 2011 is when the cosmic bounce occurs. I like the idea of a cosmic rhythm, a universal pulse. Something like your heartbeat, of the regular spinning of earth or earth circling the sun every year. But bigger and more complex in the unseen dimensions, the world of gravity and emotion. On a universal …

Victory! Or shame?
Gaddafi is gone. That’s good. And right. Gaddafi is dead. Maybe that’s not right. Almost inevitable in this world. But it was not the best we could have done. The evidence streamed around the world of a battered, bloodied old man, interspersed with rejoicing is an embarrassing show of primitive instinct. All male. Guns. Blood. …

Corporate nation states.
What makes a nation state? It becomes more difficult to define as sovereignty is shared in management of public global assets and for economic and social pragmatism. Think about money for a moment. A nation’s currency might be considered sacrosanct, but the reality of economics is that nations have given up their currencies to save …

Bankers and politicians couldn’t have done it better.
Reflect on what has happened over the past 10 to 15 years. In the late 1990s Western economies were really feeling the pressure from Asia, even though the Asian Financial Crisis had dealt a severe blow to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia etc. In the early 2000s the sub-prime bubble started to inflate. Bankers, politicians, regulators, rating …

Personal and shared ownership at the same time.
We had a wonderful treat last night. We went to a fishing village on the coast of Gozo, rode bumper cars and had fresh pizza and ravioli for supper. We also had sweet, fizzy drinks. At first the drinks were distributed one to each of us. We were mostly abstemious with “our” drinks, one of …

Sing with your body.
You can see the sound and hear the emotion. Enjoy this video: “Where the hell is Matt?”
There is no atonement for killing.
So the gander killed the hen and I killed the gander. He had been marked for some days. He had a mean look and was the loudest to hiss. I couldn’t tell him from the other geese easily. So finally I marked the one I thought most aggressive. And over the next 24 hours it …

Where are you going?
It is important to know where we come from, because if you don’t know where you come from then you don’t know where you are and if you don’t know where you are then you don’t know where you’re going. And if you don’t know where you are going, you’re probably going wrong. Terry Pratchett, …

Welcome to America – “hands up!”.
It happened a few hours ago at the airport. We were queueing with non-US passport holders to go through immigration. I tried not to think about what was happening. The people doing it to me looked a bit apologetic. But not really enough. They did not realise that many people had died over the centuries …
