St. Kevin is Resurrected (Updated June 27th)

I wrote a post a few weeks ago called -  
St. Kevin, Hollywood, 42 and Reflection
which involved Kevin Rudd, and now tonight he is Australia's Prime minster once again.
 
Kevin Rudd defeats Julia Gillard 57-45 in Labor leadership ballot, paving way for a return to PM
I've always wanted to see the day that a man does better than a woman in Labor when push comes to shove:-)  
Not even St. Steve would believe this was possible.
Everybody thought Kev's days as Prime minster were over.

Kevin Rudd Prime-minister for the second time?
This movie poster obviously was a bigger sign than I thought at the time.
Next time I go to the movies, I'll be ducking into Kev's church and praying for the winning lotto numbers. 
It must have some powerful upstairs connections if it can resurrect Kev's political career when everyone thought he was dead and buried when I wrote that post.

UPDATE:  June 27, 2013.

Eternity

Eternity

"The word Eternity was a graffito tag which had its origins in Melbourne, Australia. 
The Melbourne Herald newspaper recalled on 20 June 1930 a local eccentric who traveled the suburbs 'adorning all the walls he could find with the one word, "Eternity"'. 
The word was later written numerous times in chalk on the streets of Sydney, Australia from the 1940s through to the 1960s. 
The word had been written by Arthur Stace, an illiterate former soldier, petty criminal and alcoholic who became a devout Christian in the late 1940s. 
For years after his conversion up until his death in the 1960s, Stace walked the streets of Sydney at night writing the single word "Eternity" on walls and footpaths in his unmistakable copperplate handwriting. 
Stace's identity remained unknown until it was finally revealed in a newspaper article in 1956. It is estimated Stace wrote the word over half a million times. "
Eternity (graffito)
Arthur Stace
"After Stace's death, the Eternity signature lived on. 
Australian contemporary artist, illustrator and filmmaker
Martin Sharp noticed it and celebrated Stace's one-man campaign in many of his works. 
More recently, some Australian Christian groups, including those at universities, have run evangelistic campaigns whose promotion involved chalking "Eternity", after Stace's fashion, on footpaths.
As part of the fireworks on Sydney Harbour to mark
New Year's Day of the year 2000, the graffito "Eternity" was illuminated on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
This moment was symbolically recreated later that year as part of the  
Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony, 
beamed to billions of television viewers worldwide.

Mr Eternity: Arthur Stace

In 2001 the Council of the City of Sydney was granted a trademark (817532) on the script in order to protect it from indiscriminate commercial use."

MR ETERNITY

The writing of Arthur Stace could never seriously be viewed as vandalism, although on a few occasions he was cautioned by the police. 
The temporary nature of the chalk used was in direct contrast to the message communicated by the word.
I made some modifications to Stace's iconic chalk image below;-)

Whale Dreaming: Record Keeper

Flow Like Poe?

"Whale opens the vaults to creation, offering sacred access to the knowledge stored within.
She journeys with us, guiding us back to the deep core rhythms of nature and our instinctual connection to the cycles of life.
She helps us remember our personal truth and wisdom and how to reconnect to the heartbeat of the Universal Mother Whale.
Whale wants you to rebirth your emotional body and to revive yourself physically by tapping into the knowledge of your own genetic memory and personal rhythm. 
In doing so you will remember the sacred bond you innately share with all things and, in doing so, you will ultimately find the knowledge to heal yourself and your family.
You may even glean insight into how the rest of humanity may follow suit."
From the book Animal dreaming.

Migaloo, the only documented white humpack whale in the world

" Migaloo, the world-famous white humpback whale, has reportedly been spotted on the annual mass whale migration to the Great Barrier Reef. 
The 14m-long albino male, previously the only documented white humpback whale on the planet, is a star feature of the 12,000km journey.
This time he is again joined by another, as yet unnamed, white whale.
Known by the aboriginal word Migaloo, or "white fella", the acrobatic animal is believed to have spawned at least one all-white offspring after a white humpback calf was photographed in the Whitsundays in 2011.
Scientists are trying to obtain DNA samples from Migaloo and the newcomer to confirm if they are related.
If so, experts say, it would be an incredibly rare natural phenomenon."
Rare white whale Migaloo and another white whale migrate north from Antarctic waters
" Migaloo, or his doppelganger, will today be close to Hervey Bay, a popular whale watching destination near Fraser Island, off the central Queensland coast.
The white whale was first reportedly sighted near Yamba, in New South Wales, moving slowly north among a group of six other whales about 10.30am on June 13.
The White Whale Research Centre, one of several websites dedicated to Migaloo, has posted the sighting on its latest bulletin.
It also has another unconfirmed sighting of a different white whale on the same day in a pod of four, 1.5km off Stanwell Tops, near Wollongong.
Xanthe Rivett, of the research centre, said: "They're back.''"Maybe this will be the year we uncover the mystery of this rare pair of white whales,'' the Cairns-based underwater photographer said."
But, maybe Migaloo is just heading up to Queensland to witness an historic win for New South Wales (Whales;-) over Queensland in tonight's State of Origin match?-)
