The indigenous Pakeha

"I was not the first man to arrive here. He came from somewhere else. I bought the land from someone who bought the land from someone who bought the land from someone who probably stole it.

Either I don't belong to anyone, Or else I'm indigenous everywhere. From "The indigenous Pakeha" Glenn Colquhoun

Here's another line I love from To Ramona: "there's no one can beat you, no one to mistreat you 'cept the thought of yourself feeling bad". How true. Its not events, but our thoughts about them thst leave us feeling bad. The picture below was taken at 8.30 this Sunday morning at the Wicklow Gap. Its a bright sunny day. The snow will have melted no...
