Greetings from the deep Tasman Sea, about 100 miles from land. I should've had 6 days back home before the deadline for this piece but weather, winds and multi-national oil drillers are not predictable. A perfect excuse for delaying writing, but I realised today it's also an opportunity to do it now and add some context to the theme I was planning: the balance between opposition (and the negative) and working for the positive.
