“Genius is pain.”

~ John Lennon ~

Sheer Genius.....

It was a stroke of genius to go and stand with signs about the state of the mining in this country as often as possible on the Pacific Highway on the bridge at Urunga NSW.   It sparked things to action and it sparked the Great Highway Protest.  It surely must be said that this is fact because I had said many times,  "Just pick up your signs and go to the nearest highway and stand where you are because this problem is Australia wide".    I said this because for a lot of us it is all we can do.  We need to speak out where we are to the people we see on the daily.

What has come of standing on the side of the road with signs makes me feel warm that others noticed and thought it was a great idea (genius).

Alas genius is pain.  It isn't easy to stand for hours with a sign high above your head, your arms ache.  They ache more the next day.    The genius of this brilliance  was a great deal of pain when a passing car threw a bottle at my exposed head.  Yes John Lennon, genius is indeed pain, I agree.
