explore...

all countries need regular assessment and 'medication' the environment is it healthy? then check political and economic growth is it positive? and finally the happiness factor yes difficult to monitor but try so let's begin with the prime country let's carefully #explore ourselves #vss365

namaste and beyond...


View Gemma Mira Wiseman’s profile

And so that sacred word 'Namaste' could be used far beyond the human-human interaction. What about human to animals? plants? stars? I even wonder if animals and plants have their own code of namaste, one to the other.
So love your explanation.

After exploring/experiencing the essence of many religions, I decided no one religion was for me. Too much human bias intruded. So now my world has a presence, a Supreme Being.

The Autism Spectrum May Be Completely Wrong...


Perhaps the mildly autistic personality may be begging to be better understood as an introvert, needing deeper understanding and acceptance...

Rock Wallaby I was a Mars Society Australia planetary geology expedition to Arkaroola, South Australia, in August 2026. The expedition brought together people from planetary science, geology, exploration and field operations to explore Arkaroola’s extraordinary landscape and its value as a recognised Mars analogue region. 

Arkaroola is also an International Dark Sky Sanctuary, making it a unique place for both planetary fieldwork and astronomy.

Today marks the beginning of my Monday to Friday exercise routine...at home. It will open up my creative time by reducing runs back and forth to the Arts Centre for classes. I am not comfortable in large groups, and, being very sensitive to virus waves in the cooler months, I feel that I must be careful.

trust is the new vital key to progress?

Yes...Initially this World City podcast focuses on water management in a city world - prompted when Cape Town had a 3 year drought from 2015-17. Ground Zero was a few months away. City Council responded best by building trust with the city dwellers, revealing step by step solutions, transparency. Citizens and government had roles to play in achieving progress. But another positive emerged out of this crisis...other ways to build trust.
