  1. WHAT NEW FORMS OF SPIRITUALITY ARE EMERGING?

    In spaces of resistance, creativity and imagination, something new can begin to take shape.

    For Adriaan, these spaces can become sites of possibility — where people challenge inherited ideas, reclaim their voices and imagine different ways of relating to spirituality and one another.

  7. A BetTER Day

    Independence has its day,
    when o’er the skies fireworks display,
    and dependence, too, is good,
    as every tender spirit should

    learn the grace of being held,
    when pride is hushed, and fear is quelled.
    But methinks we need another name,
    a deeper word, a wider frame.

    It happens after we let one IN,
    past the surface, past the skin,
    past the guarded gates we keep,
    past the places where hurt runs deep.

    In the space before DEPEND,
    we see the other as vital friend,
    all as branches from one tree,
    as the grains of sand receive the sea.

    Then add three letters, soft but true,
    TER arrives and makes it new.
    Not just me and not just thee,
    but something born between the three.

    In-TER-dependence names the art
    of hand in hand and heart to heart,
    while I am I, and you are you,
    something sacred binds us too.

    Independence stands alone,
    dependence leans on flesh and bone,
    but interdependence humbly sings:
    we rise by sharing roots and wings.

  8. Some places make belonging feel effortless.

    Everything is structured in a way that leaves no friction: paths are clear, rhythms are shared, nothing pushes you to the edges.

    It looks natural from the outside.

    But it’s not accidental.

    It’s the result of systems designed well enough that people don’t have to fight to be part of them.

  9. Social cohesion and gritted-teeth tolerance

    "In 2022, for the first time in decades, the government commissioned a review of multiculturalism, Towards Fairness. It found Australia had muddled on, but squandered its world-leading status and recommended the government create a minister, a permanent commission and department for multiculturalism. Labor MP Dr Anne Aly was appointed multicultural affairs minister in 2025."

    She delivered a powerful speech last November:

    "Aly declared it was time to end “the conditional form of multiculturalism, that kind of gritted-teeth tolerance that,

    'You are welcome here as long as your food tastes good,

    your celebrations are colourful, and

    your music is present to the ears.’"

    "But any questioning, any speaking out, any disruptive participation in any practice of citizenship will not be tolerated. Instead, acts of citizenship afforded to the broader community are viewed as acts of defiance when performed by the other and are met with cries of, ‘Go back to where you came from,’ and ‘Love Australia or leave it.’ " >>

  10. "Although I lack most of the outward tells of Southernness, which is to say I speak unaccented English and have a face that is neither white nor black but yellow, that field places me in the South."
