'Eternity'
   Arthur Stace created quite a legend in the 1960s in Sydney as a late night chalker of the word 'Eternity' over various parts of the city. The story is out there to read and in recent years has been celebrated at the National Museum in Canberra, in the city itself, through art and spectacularly at Sydney's NYE celebrations.
   That in particular brought tears to my eyes as I read the SMH in the lead up where it acknowledged that Stace's vision was to shout the question 'where will you spend Eternity?' to the world and Ignatius Jones and his NYE team made it a reality...
   Arthur Stace struggled as a rough sleeper or hostel resident, with alcohol and in life but he was reportedly inspired by a St Barnabas men's rally evagelist to ask his question. Mostly illiterate, he was somehow enabled to write his chalk mesage in perfect copperplate font. This included a celebrated scribing on the Sydney GPO clocktower bell.
   My reflection is 'when you look back, how will you hoped you lived your life and if you're not so happy with how your doing, then today is a chance to start again' taking the challenge to live out an ethos that amtters!!
