Poems
I wrote this poem 21 Feb 1999. Not a very positive outlook on life but my two favorite activites, surfing and motor bike riding make up for it.
Freedom
High
Riding
Catch the wave
Green room opening
Maximum pleasure
Close out happens
Once again
Wipeout
Life (Shit)
Chorus
Sun burns on my back
Waves splash in my face
Sand is in my pants
I don't give a shit
On
Kick-start
Throttle wide
Hit the highway
Maximum pleasure
Corner too fast
Hit the dirt
Smashed up
Life (Shit)
Chorus
Riding down the highway
Cool wind in my hair
Tears whipped from my eyes
I don't give a shit

I wrote this one 20 Dec 98 on the death of our friend's daughter just after she was born prematurely
Daughter
To Joel & Rosa
Mere words are never enough
We wish we were there to hold you and share in your loss
In this bittersweet time as Jesus takes your precious daughter to a better place
We hold you up in our prayers
Our love for you is not as strong as His
Let His arms enfold you and strengthen you in ways we never could
The life of your daughter was short
But she touched our lives in a very special way
May she sing with the angels in heaven tonight in praise to God

Travel Again
I'm away again and I miss my girls already.
We had an awesome couple of days over the weekend.
Saturday we went to soccer and then out for dinner. Simple stuff, Jude and I got take away Thai and we ate at McDonalds while the kids played. It was great to have no stress or pressure and just enjoy each others company.
That night I had gastro (not the Thai) so Sunday morning we skipped church as I didn't want to risk moving more then 10 metres from the toilet! Sunday lunch we went to a family picnic as I was feeling better. Saw some native marsupials, and heard lots of birds in this massive rainforest. The trees were in my estimation between 100-200 feet tall with the oldest tree towering up at over 200 feet, maybe around 230-250. Its getting hard to estimate that far above the ground. Makes you wonder (if you haven't been) how awesome the sequoia redwoods must be. There were even Nikau palms around 100 feet tall and so skinny, maybe 1 foot thick at the base. Amazing old forest.
Monday I had to go to a client and took the opportunity of the public holiday and light traffic to enjoy the bike. Cops everywhere! Monday night we had home group and that was a good time also. Then early bed for an early start to the plane.
Now I am sitting in Central North Queensland in balmy weather in a guest house. Work here is pretty laid back and relaxing. I will spend the next two months commuting between here and Brisbane. Good for the frequent flyer points, bad for all the things that need to be done at home and missing out on family. Good for income and time away from kids to get much needed projects completed, bad for time away from kids.

Busy as a Bee
Its good to be busy.
Sometimes we can find ourselves so busy we don't take time to reflect on life's amazing moments.
Some I have had in the last few days include gazing into the eyes of my baby and seeing her recognition of me blossom into a smile, Seeing my two year old pucker up her lips and press them to mine in an earnest and innocent kiss, seeing the delight in my 5 year old as she finally gets the hang of the pushbike without the training wheels, and the 7 yr olds womanly walk when she wants to act grown up. Its funny and delightful at the same time.
My wife has been having a tough time with the baby at nights, but she has now had a few nights that she has been able to sleep through without waking, and the relief is palpable. I can't imagine what its like to have someone so dependent on your body for its nourishment like that, and I'm so impressed by her attitude and commitment. She is amazing and I love her. Thanks for being the mother of my kids Judith - you are a fantastic mother.
