Your cause of sorrow
Must not be measured by (her) worth, for then
It hath no end.

1/Something that I first observed nearly two years ago that needs to be re-emphasised today: it is not possible to plan anything during the exponential growth phase of a pandemic -- except a path out of the exponential growth phase of the pandemic.

In case ppl think this is semantics, it's not. The concept of a need to possess has been written brilliantly by Distinguished Professor Aileen Moreton-Robinson (read The White Possessive, and other texts). The risk is that in writing ownership, *our* own determination is erased.

Tonight l’m thinking of the people of Afghanistan. I’m also thinking of every ADF member & civilian who served there believing they were contributing to its free future. Some of those families were changed forever as a result. These are very hard days for them all. #Afghanistan
