An Australian funeral 2024

 An Australian funeral 2024

Urn scattering

Irish ashes

Australian Irish son

Australian Jamaican chief mourner

Pelicans present

The visiting witnesses:

Love

Random assortment of fishermen

Seagulls both native & non

Boaties hosing off their hulls

Nice waving guy

Frenchman who told strange story

Retiring to Funk & Reggae

Herb (Sinsemilla) white rum & okra steamed with salt

Getting deep

Riffing on Tripping

Still despite the fact that I’m tripping you’re tripping they’re tripping

Tripping

Tripping

He’s tripping

She’s tripping

They’re tripping

You’re tripping 

Tripping 

It’s wild

We’re tripping man

etc

Tripping

I’m tripping

I tell ya

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1742)

“Man is born free

Yet everywhere in chains”

This IS a WELL established fact

Yet still the ignorant are in power

& not solely

Still people pull the chains to their conditionally adjusted above maximul pull

You’re tripping 

They’re tripping 

I’m tripping…

Chief Mourner unable to tell story

Son cackling like a hyena 

Angry neighbour on hands free 

Chief mourner recovers his flow

“I ain’t mad at you”

Delivers vocal trip drop

Coming in hot hot hot

Easy

Rest In Power

Seamus Doyle!

God bless, Dad

In a very unorthodox way

Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Love

  Love   Some people exude a loving energy Like Mary & you feel transformed From your woes & spleen & love is woken in you   They made no mistake when they named her Light floods you when you’re with her & though she struggles to find words Now she’s 91 years old She loves all the more Like the unknowable name of God   Like that Indian girl People would visit To receive wisdom & healing Just by her presence She locates the good in me & I feel so much better About being alive   She reminds me That I can play that role for others That I can let go of the grief, the hurt & let go of the rage   She reminds me of my mission To bring truth & light Through the darkness & show the path to follow For other lost people    & that the love she exudes Is as much a reflection of my love That I had forgotten I possessed     Published ...
