With tremendous amounts of insecurity and a gratefulness for a healthy fun-loving dose of courage (as well as some Inner Eco 85% Organic Dark Chocolate), I gift to you my first book, with gratitude for all the visible and invisible human, plant, and animal teachers I have had and their teachers as well and I dedicate this book to a belief in an experience of creativity that is honored, nurtured, loved, and supported, free of the need of suffering. May your creativity bring a smile to the dance of life.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to write a book. One that could reach out to others and give them hope and courage. To give the reader a belief that they are not alone in their struggles, in their pain. To help them to know that they are enough, just the way they are. Throughout my life I have used poetry as an overflow valve. A way to externalise the intense feelings building up inside of me. It is my hope that the pages in this book are a source of comfort, kinship and validation for those who read it.

Typically without conscious awareness, we neglect to see that we live in a mythical world largely operating on a vision of segmenting and reductionism, focusing on the smallest particles. Yet, there are other myths too we are influenced by and may influence them to serve our growing consciousness for a good life. For, example, there is Sisyphus, the Panopticon, the Scapegoat, Das Capital, and Metamorphosis as literary and powerful motivational contexts driving humanity.A person desperate for survival heaves up his life, family, and capital. Meanwhile, they always think they are being watched by the spiritual and physical Panopticons. To reach the mountain-top and subdue their competitors or enemies, they scapegoat innocent people. We see millions of people become refugees, victims, laborers, and disabled by wars, beliefs, egos, needs, desires, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet, progress is not so easy, it is even ironic. Not only in our escaping we scapegoated ourselves but humans also scapegoated Nature. Driven by a recurrence of fear-based ways and stories, Heavenly Earth became Hell by our doing. It is time to see fear for its major role. It is time to excavate and rewrite history, culture, morality, politics, literature, and philosophy through a systematic criticism of Sisyphus, the Panopticon, and the Scapegoat point of view. This book is the foundation for it. Among a number of analytical perspectives, it focuses on classic existential literary teaching stories, like Metamorphosis, The Myth of Sisyphus, and NoExit from a new Fearmorphosis lens.

My name is Jesse Boughton, and I am 30 years of age this year. I am a tradesmen plumber but currently I am a supervisor for an explosive company in the coalmining industry. I have always been a little on the creative side and have enjoyed drawing ever since I was a little kid. Since I began my working career after school I have slowly drifted away from my artistic side and I thought what better time to do something creative then now.

The book follows no particular theme but covers a variety of topics including personal views on National Service Conscription and the Vietnam War - the book provides cheeky outlooks on politics and politicians, Covid 19, Ned Kelly (Bushranger), Mount Warning Wollumbin, ageing, arthritis and a number of other random, miscellaneous topics.The poems are not designed to make any political or military statement, they are simply designed to allow readers to share a light-hearted Australian view of the world

Cleo was bought from a registered breeder, who was at the time my husband's work mate and who brought some adorable Siamese kittens to the television station. He couldn't resist them and soon after brought home one little screamy bundle. The kitten was with us through ups and downs moving from a rented flat to our own unit and then to our newly built home and garden, where she lived for most of her life. It was incredible how quickly she would adapt to a new place yet those were the matters that worried us most. Cleo's arrival changed our life. In a way she taught us, in her dignified way, to be more attentive to her needs while at the same time she was a willing learner to our commands. We became less selfish and more caring. It was clear to us we had a great responsibility looking after this tiny, helpless living being, who was depending on us to live, to survive.To be able to do that, the most important thing is LOVE for animals. People are not bad people because they cannot or want not to have pets. Therefore, it is not a good idea to give a little kitten as a gift to anyone. An individual has to make his/her own decision weather or not he/she would have sufficient love, time and money to care for a pet.

This is one of the stories inspired by a childhood journey with my family from Raga to Wau, towns in western Bahr el Ghazal in the southern part of the Sudan in 1987. What had prompted me to write the memoir had been the events that had followed the South Sudanese attainment of a sovereign state. This is a story that depicted what was sought after even before my birth. I came along and joined the march to demand for equal status. For me most parts of the story had been tough. In my writing, I had to take an expedition of self-composure. I had to take my forethought into an anticipated future and come back to write with that visualization. I had to withdraw my sentiment from what could call for vengeance and speak up for what the child had stood for. Within it is a reflective memoir about the power of a good cause and a family who believed in the triumph of the people. In their enactment, they raised a child within a time disguised by war and social discords. In a subtle journey along the lines of family relations and social associations, the story evolved.

Both short stories are fiction. No character is real. If coincidence. It is really a coincidence. Stories are detective crimes by two Barristers. Within there are funny jokes to laugh. Read on!

A journey into the soul of our 'humanity' through a series of empathetic photos concerning the Stolen Generation. Imagery that depicts loss, sadness and hope. Images that reflect through the use of symbols a sentiment that words seem unable to convey! Images that bridge the gap between endless written reports and human emotion, that touch the core of our being.

This collection of poems spans a time of my late teenage struggles in the world of a new millennium. With parents both suffering cancer at the same time and a new girlfriend (now wife) having her own massive health struggles but also adding support to a very tumultuous time in my life. I don't know if these poems help understand the meaning of life at all but they certainly were a therapeutic way to take out the emotional garbage that bombarded me. In reflection reading them back it eats at my absolute being how much I have persevered through and still have time to laugh, love and have fun with my kids and wonderful wife now.
