He did not want to oppose his lawyer, but Clive knew the lawsuit loss was decisive. And he was not about to throw good money after bad. There would be no appeal. He had wanted the property for his factory. It would have been a glorious, green facility. It would have employed hundreds of locals. It would have been good for the economy. But alas. The site was too close to the estuary. Too c...

It seemed as if the entire town had turned out, filling the council chambers and spilling out onto the street, chattering in anticipation. It hadn’t been since the days of the war that the sleepy town of Mundurah had seen such turnout.

The crowd fell silent as the Mayor began to speak. Such a thing was unusual in itself, but this wasn’t a normal day.

“It is the decision of this council that b...

I don’t think we’ve ever seen eye to eye have we ? You watch thoughts rush out of my head and you oppose every single one of them. They’re not real. They’re just my brain without a blockage. My brain has an alleyway where it can connect to a vocal cord and create vibrations that allow it to be heard. I don’t think it’s my true opinions about half the things I speak about. But I *am* saying it; so ...

In many ways, life is like a river. In both, there are twists and turns. Like the dams of beavers and men there will be obstacles in life which oppose forward progress. Like the undertows and rapids of rivers, there may be times when life will feel tumultuous, but there will likely be peace on the other side, a lazy river of recovery. Rivers split into branches and streams and it is not always cle...

There is a war out there in opposing the government

The enemy has surrendered. They are making there just stand. This is the decisive victory. We must swiftly cross the estuary fight the enemy. They are entrenched on the other side. Mortar rounds hit the ground from above scattering shrapnel.

A snipers bullet hit the ground grazing the grass.

Wif of smoke dust in the wind

Swimming below the wat...

“Who could oppose except for those with thumbs?” He was a strange man, one who talked cryptically in rhymes and riddles. But he cared. He truly cared, and he knew how to persuade… well, some people. Very important qualities for an activist.

“This project could preserve so much biodiversity. So much life.

What do we mean when we say life? Life is opening your eyes for the first time and seeing the...

Will didn’t oppose the idea of treading the land all day but once they reached the estuary it became clear they were running out of land to tread. His fellow traveler, an older man by the name of Mort wore a decisive look on his face as he felt around the land. Will watched Mort head over to a large pile of rocks. Once there, Mort touched upon them and Will stared on full of regret.

He’d given u...

When forces oppose, it’s good to be decisive. The estuary of human experience: one grew up fighting, one grew up loving. When they collide, can their stories blend? Or is it better to build a dam? A decision that requires totality, or one may end up having dammed in the other. A single touch and their fresh water becomes forever salted....

We ran aground when we hit the estuary. Captain Mead’s eyes widened as the ship crashed into the shallow rocks at the mouth of the river. I turned away to hide my disdain.

I had opposed the decision to head north, but he had overruled me. He was stubborn, and his pride had now left us all stranded at god knows where. I had tried to get the crew on my side before we departed Port Nolte. I had exp...
