Convoy NZ 2022 - The Aftermath
On Day 24, I walked around the perimeter, as much as I could get to. I stood in front of some of the police and spoke to them of my fervent hope that it was overseas troops who were so brutal, that it

Convoy NZ 2022 - Days 21 to 23 - New Zealand's day of shame
On Day 20, some tradies built some toilets, plumbed directly into the sewers, because the police were blocking the portaloo maintenance men. On Day 21, the camp was gifted a gas heated shower block worth

Finding a heart based perspective on the Ukraine
If you're in fear, if you're being judgmental, if you think you know who's at fault here - I want to ask you to let it go. Can we be open to not knowing, or caring, who is right and who is wrong? Can we

Convoy NZ 2022 - Day 18 - Friends, foes and investigations

Convoy NZ 2022 - Days 16 & 17 - Portaloos, police & politicians; Poop, pee & pepper spray
DAY 16 was a quietish day down at Camp Freedom. It was a bit grey and windy, and rain was forecast. There was no early morning police activity, and it felt like a day for consolidation. The hot food tent

Convoy NZ 2022 - Days 13 to 15 - the village is still hanging in there
I wasn't going to go downtown Sunday night, but ended up going down with some visitors from out of town. It was a very different atmosphere from Saturday. The site is still fully occupied, but the dense

Convoy NZ 2022 - Days 11 to 13 - things get real and very confusing!
I went downtown on Friday night to hold some VFF signs for an hour or so. Signs expressing some pretty simple concepts but that certainly pushed some people's buttons. I think it's fair enough to ask questions
