I haven’t been much of a blogger in the year 2011. I have mostly populated this ‘garden’ with my Project 365 photos. Even for that, I have slacked in the past month. So, every time I return, it’s like jumpstarting the engine again (and again). But, frankly, I’m not guilty at all. It’s simply…

Random Thoughts after a ‘long’ absence
It’s been quite a while since I keyed in any texts on this blog. The reasons or excuses are legion. I have been traveling a lot this year. First, it was to and fro Malaysia and Norway to orientate myself, and settle in the family. Then there was the courses at Lesbos Island, Greece…
Why write?

Below are some answers in paraphrase or direct quotation, some with a mix of both: “. . . to facilitate the enslavement of other human beings. . . .” or to exercise control over them ~ Claude Levi-Strauss ‘Conscientization’ of the oppressed, or liberation from ‘enslavement’ ~ Paulo Freire Writing is…
On Writing Well
I never saw myself as a ‘writer’. I tend to see myself as a ‘communicator’ primarily comfortable to communicate verbally and visually. This probably explains my preference for speaking and mind mapping. But perhaps unconsciously and only later intentionally, I found myself a kind of ‘writer’+’communicator’ through being an accidental ‘blogger’. So, I still see…
Random Thoughts on an early ‘Høst’ morning

The return of Sivin Kit to the world of blogging?

Random Thoughts on the First Night of the First Day of 2011
"New beginnings". That seems to be the two key words for me tonight. Having this moment of solitude is precious, even though I’m not preparing a sermon like I would used to do. For once I’m not thinking about the grand message I need to preach tomorrow to chart the year ahead. Today, officially I…
