05:55 I wake up. Who am I? Me! Where am I? Home!

Thank you life. Thank you God. I am privileged.

05:56 I am still in bed. The mattress has springs based on Tutankhamen's carriage. 2700 years after his death, Europeans used them to make watches and Leonardo Da Vinci invented a gun you could fire with one hand. 300 years after that, a British man (Tradwell) formed them into coils.

Thank you Egypt, Europe and Britain for the dreams. I am privileged.

05:57 I swing out of bed and my feet touch the parqueted Eucalyptus floor boards.

Thank you France for the beauty, evolution for the wood and Indigenous Australians for the care taking of this marvelous resource. I am privileged.

06:00 The light of day was still waiting so I turned on the lights. A miracle happened. Electrons flowed, metal vibrated, photons in the visible spectrum erupted. Dark became light. God like.

Thank you Newcomen, Watt, Savery, Davy, Yablochkov, Moleyns, Sprengel, Swan, Edison and Einstein. Thank you steam, wind, solar, coal, gas, nuclear. I am privileged.

06:05 My bladder called. I answered.

Thank you Romans and Sir Thomas Crapper. I am privileged.

06:06 The sound of nature was stirring but I needed to know what was happening to the other privileged people near by. I turned on the radio.

Thank you Maxwell, Hughes, Hertz and Marconi. I am privileged.

06:10 The coffee machine waited. It did not wait long.

Thank you Kaldi the Abyssinian (Ethiopian), Moriondo from Italy and the farmers of Peru. I am privileged.

06:15 The nicotinic receptors in my lungs ache. I soothe them.

Thank you Native Americans. I am privileged.

06:35 My stomach growls. Poached Eggs on Vegemite Toast.

Thank you Iraq for nursing the wheat mutation, the Queensland farmers for the Durum flour, the dairy farmers for the butter, the domesticated chickens and the beer extract. I am privileged.

06:55 The kids ask for breakfast.

Thank you great-great-grandmother and great-grandfather for leaving the Old World. Thank you great-uncle for your sacrifice in Tobruk. Thank you grandad for your courage in Kokoda. Thank you father-in-law for your valor in Vietnam. Thank you cousin for you service in Rwanda and East-Timor. Thank you Mum and Dad.

I am privileged.
