Original title: 4xW+H=???

Writing a recount of something (anything, a moment, an experience, a situation, anything) can come from the heart but it isn't accurate.
Expressing your opinion and feelings do not quite explain your past.
20% of a piece of writing is a well description, the rest is always left untold, the sounds unheard, the random sequence of thought, the process the brain endures carefully selecting the words to be written on this page before you.

What is or who are the greatest authors?

Those who have skill in selecting words that will ultimately move the reader?
The talent of creating a realm the individual can escape to?
Or someone who can produce an imaginative and/or reflection that the reader can relate to?
Or are the best writers those who can use their knowledge and experience to guide, influence and teach any individual?

Does the human race depend on relationships?
Whether they are created in a medium, described on paper or generally formed in everyday life, what would happen if relationships didn't exist?
Who would we trust, question, look up to, confide in, despise, like and love?

Do our emotions physically exist?
If they can't be identified scientifically, can they only be spiritual?
How come everything else in the world can be explained scientifically but the most simple, most important qualities/feelings can not?
Does that alter your perception on the credibility of science?
What is science?
A cult?
A rumour?
Another God?
Why does it control our thoughts?
Produce what is right and wrong, influence everything in our everyday lives?
Are we dependent on everyone else to tell us what to do, what to explore and essentially what to feel?
Is the feeling of being lost really something physical or geographical?
Or is it the disconnection to others?
A mere insecurity?
Why can't it be explained?
Why does the paper have to be so thin? It does not hold enough information to be told.

Good Bye Qantas Website!

The weeks have gone by and I think it would be scary and in fact wrong for me to possibly calculate the number of hours I have spent on this silly website. It would surely prove that I devote too much time with my nice white apple companion.

I am proud to say good bye Qantas!

That is, for now, I shall see you in November when I am in desperate need of:

• thawing my bones, escaping the UK's sleet, ice, rain, drizzle - terrible weather and returning to the warm, soft sand of Whale Beach
• hearing an Aussie accent from the fine sheila welcoming me onto the flight
• the euphoric voices of "I Still Call Australia Home"
• and to hear you say that you will not be charging me excess baggage unlike all the other airlines

It was today! Wednesday 17th March, the day I booked my flight out of Aus! What a relief! What an amazing feeling! All the stress that went along with the research has departed, and it is not long till I too skedaddle !!!
