Kate Hook - The Tim Buckley Interview

"Source Code Flow" is a powerful rap anthem that reimagines the timeless teachings of the Lotus Sutra for the modern age. With sharp metaphors and a rhythmic flow, the song compares spiritual transformation to upgrading your operating system, finding renewable energy for the soul, and connecting to a high-speed network of wisdom. It’s a call to rise above digital overwhelm, climate anxiety, and social disconnection, offering a timeless "source code" for enlightenment in a fast-paced world. Perfect for seekers, thinkers, and anyone looking for a deeper connection in life.

Intro (Spoken or Rapped):
Yo, in a world of updates and fleeting trends,
Where the scroll never stops, and the stress never ends,
There’s a truth that’s timeless, a wisdom that grows,
Let me break it down for you—this is the Source Code Flow.

Verse 1:
I’m plugged into the matrix, drowning in streams,
Chasing likes and follows, but losing my dreams.
The Sutra’s the key, the master design,
A spiritual OS that rewires my mind.
No quick-fix app, no disposable patch,
It’s the solar power, no trend can match.
From the chaos of life, it’s the calm in the storm,
A timeless upgrade, where the soul is reborn.

Chorus:
(Chanted or Sung)
Source code flow, let the Dharma show,
Rewrite my life, let the wisdom grow.
From the digital haze to the truths I know,
The Lotus Sutra’s got that Source Code Flow.

Verse 2:
It’s like 5G speed for the spiritual grind,
Connecting my heart to the infinite mind.
Other teachings lag, like a dial-up line,
But the Sutra’s bandwidth is divine by design.
Climate anxiety, the world’s on fire,
But compassion’s the fuel that lifts us higher.
It’s renewable energy for the soul’s despair,
A solar-powered truth that’s always there.

Chorus:
(Chanted or Sung)
Source code flow, let the Dharma show,
Rewrite my life, let the wisdom grow.
From the digital haze to the truths I know,
The Lotus Sutra’s got that Source Code Flow.

Bridge (Spoken or Rapped):
Yo, it’s like this—
The Sutra’s not just a book, it’s a vibe,
A network of truths that keeps us alive.
It’s the fiber optic cable to the heart of it all,
While the world’s buffering, it answers the call.
It’s not just for monks or the ancient elite,
It’s for the hustlers, the seekers, the people in the street.
From the mugwort to the hemp, we rise straight and tall,
The Sutra’s the blueprint that unites us all.

Verse 3:
Social disconnection, we’re lost in the feed,
But the Sutra reminds us, we’re one in our need.
It’s the algorithm of love, the code of compassion,
A timeless design in a modern fashion.
So when the world’s too loud, and you’re losing your way,
Let the Sutra’s wisdom guide your day.
It’s the master key, the ultimate hack,
For a life of meaning, there’s no turning back.

Chorus:
(Chanted or Sung)
Source code flow, let the Dharma show,
Rewrite my life, let the wisdom grow.
From the digital haze to the truths I know,
The Lotus Sutra’s got that Source Code Flow.

Outro (Spoken or Rapped):
So don’t settle for patches, don’t settle for trends,
The Sutra’s the upgrade that never ends.
In a world of noise, let the Dharma glow,
This is the Lotus Sutra’s Source Code Flow.

Clean Energy is Taking Over with highest share since the 1940s. Whilst Luxembourg still has work to do, the dynamic seems on the right path.

What's Right: Clean Energy is Taking Over

In the next episode of the Energy Connects podcast, Chiranjib Sengupta sat down with Gauri Singh, Deputy Director-General of International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), to explore the pathway to tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030. That was the target committed to by world leaders at COP28 in Dubai, a historic agreement that was in line with recommendations by IRENA on how to close the energy transition gap and stay on a 1.5°C pathway. 

Singh discusses the progress made on that journey and outlines actions for the global energy community to ensure we are on track with this target. She also highlights how consistently decreasing cost of renewables is helping speed up their deployment across the industry, and why the World Utilities Congress in May will help propel the industry towards a sustainable future.

193 - Code, Cases, and Regs (4/13/2025)

Kate never planned to go into politics, but knows someone has to stand up for our community and have the courage not to shy away from the tough topics. 
Kate’s a team player, a doer, a professional working mum of four and small farmer who helped set up a community solar farm. She first ran in 2022 because she was asked to step up, and was overwhelmed by the community support – coming second against the National party incumbent. 

Kate’s running again with the backing of her community, determined and excited to get it done. Kate has spent the last two years helping communities across NSW advocate for their needs with renewable energy projects, ensuring communities get a seat at the table and a large slice of the benefits.  Not one to do things by halves, she has resigned from her job with RE-alliance in order to commit herself full-time to this community campaign.


Kate’s a community champion who believes in doing things with the community, not to them. 

She’s ready to build the future we actually want: with better services, real infrastructure, smarter trade deals and quality education for all our kids. With new opportunities for our young people, and skilling and support to help our coal communities evolve and thrive. 

It’s time for a representative who has the courage of their convictions – who says what they mean, and does what they say. Who’s here for the right reasons and focused on the future. Who will put people before party, representing us, and only us. 

This election, we’re choosing a fresh start for Calare.
