I know more about the President and Secretary and less about Mr. Peters or his abilities.
My question, though, is, does the Pacific need a whisperer...
Or a louder voice in DC? 🌏

"Prime Minister James Marape this month laid out a 'war on guns'-type plan to crack down on lawlessness in PNG by asserting the authority of the state. But all too often in Enga the authorities have been part of the problem."

A picture of a yellow library building in Solomon Islands with mountains in the background and this poem overlaid on the sky: A Conversation Outside the Charles Elliot Fox library at Kohimarama “The birds around here speak sometimes”, he said, “the smallish brown ones with the yellow eyes. You have to pay attention though, they spread their mottled wings, glance back, say their goodbyes and then before you know it they have gone, packed up their conversation and moved on.” “We used to have a bishop here,” he said, “who was well known for talking to the birds and other creatures. Once the rats all fled from the cassava patch at just a word from Bishop Fox. His grave is over there. It's said the birds still join with him in prayer.” I tried to pay attention like he said, but though I watched and listened for a week, I talked to them, sang songs, and shared my bread, I never once did hear the Myna speak. Beside the Charles Fox library, filled with words, I sit in silence, praying with the birds. Rich Clarkson, 2025
A new poem inspired by a conversation I had during my recent visit to Melanesia

#UN’s double face in #Melanesia
On one side, #Bougainville — where dialogue and international backing nurtured a fragile but genuine peace.
On the other, #WestPapua — where the very same institution abandoned a people to silence, militarisation, and slow extinction.
