A meditation on men, the land and significant otherness. We might be better informed in the pages of a work by someone like physicist Fritjof Capra say, and learn how we can teach our children and our students, our corporate and political master leaders, the fundamental facts of life - that the waste of one species' is food for another. Matter flows in continual cycles through the web of life. The energy driving the ecological cycles flows from the sun. And now here's the rub, 'diversity assures resilience; life, from its beginning more than three billion years ago, did not take over the planet by combat but by networking' . You'd never think it would you. The din of combat grows ever louder. The men just won't calm down. NOT YET. The Three Billy Goats Gruff, those stinky beards and piss of masculinity, cloven hoofed, stamping and chewing the cud, must make a crossing to greener pastures, transgressing through the cyborg the borders and boundaries and limits set in their way by a team of trolls prowling on the horizon. They beckon men to the ways of the world that are not always in our best interest and me as I resurrect them from my childhood of many decades ago. ONCE WAS. According to our mother, anxious that we might wander, there was a troll under the little wooden bridge on the gravel road leading to the farm. Although we lived on the farm, it was as though we lived somewhere else because the farm was always said to be that place beyond the little wooden bridge. We always said we wanted to go to the farm as though we were not already there. For a time as a small boy I was too frightened to make the crossing and then, it seemed, for years. Years later the Tardis landed us near home. We stepped out into the sunshine to live close to where the bones of our ancestors and yours lay in the ancient earth; in the sand hills of the old Shepparton cemetery. In the Lemnos loam flats near Kyabram, where life is defined in the ecological sense of death, not as the Americane.
