Safely home.
Weeks and weeks
Fishing, swimming, learning
Playing games, creating games, treasure hunting,
Just being together.
Protected and blessed and free enough
To discover blurring in the space between
Sky & sea, limited & limitless,
Sacred & profane, self & other,
Holiday for a life of contradiction & paradox.
Note:
In 2005 Roger retired after 40 years as CEO of Panthers. I had to deliver a speech on behalf of my brothers and our families. Observations about this holiday (Short Memories: 135 to 142) form the central part of that speech. For me, this holiday is pivotal in understanding how our family “hangs together” – well, it is certainly a pivotal moment for me.
The speech would not have suited this blog, but if you click the link, you’ll find it. On family, leadership, love, dignity.

Hi Max,
Well what can I say.I became quite emotional after reading your last couple of blogs and your speech.I can’t remember it from the night of Roger’s farewell .Guess there was too much going on then. Thank you for the accolades and appreciation to our family.I do hope you all had a happy and secure feeling through all the ups and downs and hope we can always support each other for the rest of our lives.
Thank you all for being YOU !
Love Mum
