Sapphirical Reflections

Fellow travellers, sometimes events or developments that I read about in the media cause me great joy. Others cause me deep consternation. And sometimes I experience both these reactions simultaneously!

Take this article, for example. It describes a new book about how to make your sex life more green and sustainable. Part of me is greatly heartened by this evidence of greater environmental awareness. But another part of me is quite shocked. The phallus is a tool of oppression, after all! Surel...

Fellow travellers, as we all know today is Anzac Day, surely the most racist, sexist, homophobic and Gaia-phobic ritual we Australians have (and we have quite a few!).

Really, why we still allow this grotesque festival of hate to continue is completely beyond me! I mean, it is nothing less than the overt and shameless glorification of war. High ranking officials actually line up to celebrate acts of mass murder, which peenie-waving patriarchs describe, in their usual deceitful way, as "acts of...

Fellow travellers, as we all know, Gaia works in mysterious ways, so it is sometimes difficult to discern what She is trying to communicate to us. (Well, actually it's not that difficult for advanced souls like myself and my feisty feline fellow traveller Jocelyn to know. It's just a challenge for you and your friends. But don't worry, when that is the case we are happy to translate for you.)

But sometimes Gaia sends us a message that is completely unequivocal. This volcanic eruption in Icela...

Fellow travellers, upon reading this article about a lizard that was recently discovered in the Philippines I was deeply appalled. You see, this close relative of the Komodo Dragon actually possesses two penises!

What on (Mother) Earth could Gaia be saying with this! As we all know Nature is kind and loving - the very antithesis of phallocentric patriachalism.

I was tempted to stop reading the article because I found it so disturbing. But bravely I struggled on in the hope that perhaps there m...

Fellow travellers, Nature has struck another blow for justice against an evil enemy. But sadly, the brave wombat who did Gaia's righteous bidding has been felled with an axe wielded by an appalling white peenie-waver!

The wombat was totally justified in attacking the man, who was clearly violating his territory. (As we all know, wombats have deep spiritual connections with their land.) So the butchery that ensued was doubly appalling.

But of course the media - being so human-centric - always ta...

Fellow travellers, as we all know, birds are often mocked for their alleged stupidity. Take that appalling insult "bird brain", for example.  

(Notice also that women are often called birds, implying that they too are bird-brained. Yet more evidence that speciesism and sexism are almost invariably intertwined!)

But where does this offensive stereotype of cognitively challenged birds actually come from? The sick minds of appalling peenie wavers, that's where! There is no evidence for it. It's j...

Fellow travellers, sadly the aliens I was expecting during Earth Hour didn't show up! I was deeply mystified and disappointed.

It is very difficult to know why this might have been. It is hard to understand the motives of those who are more spiritually evolved than you are, after all. (I know this from personal experience. My many critics - who are locked in their primitive, materialist mindsets - just can't understand where I'm coming from. So, full of fear and confusion, they accuse me of h...

Oh joy. Joy and cat dancing! One of our intergalactic fellow travellers has decided to pay us a visit.

Significantly, the alien has flown over Chipping Norton, in Sydney's west. And Sydney is the very city in which Earth Hour began some three years ago. And when is Earth Hour? On the last Saturday of March, which is only 3 days hence!

Clearly, this is no coincidence. These highly spiritually evolved aliens are telling us that they approve of our mind-expanding, planet-loving ritual. And while t...

Fellow travellers, when is this nation (and the world for that matter!) going to realize that climate change is real, that man is causing it and that the science is in!

Take this terrifying storm in Perth. It was the worst that city has had so far this whole millennium! How could you possibly deny the link?

Of course, appalling peenie-waving Premier Colin Barnett has deemed that it was a "natural" disaster. Talk about blaming the victim! It was as unnatural as a disaster can be, since it simpl...
