I am so looking forward to your book! And is that - a wink is as good as a nudge to a blind horse -a saying or did you just make it up?

The other thing is that, yes, we can get on with beautiful gardens, literature and art but that doesn't help if someone needs an inhaler or insulin and those at the top are charging hundreds of dollars a shot. They'll kill us all.

One of the first things it says in my book about fermenting stuff is: 'There's a fine line between fermenting and rotting'. It rather put me off! Be careful! 😜

Yes, historicaly there have always been tyrants and great injustices. Our generation in the West has perhaps benefitted more than most before us from a welfare state and an NHS and relatively high quality of life. We see it all beginning to revert, however you are right, Art, literature, music and humanity will prevail.I have decided to lose myself for a while and have falllen under the spell of Dylan again- my go to. He don't half make you want to sing it out. Check out Niel Young's new song too - Big Change a simple call to all old and injured warriors out there.

I really enjoy the fact that you intentionally (or unintentionally - it doesn't really matter) eliminated the use of the period after your last sentence. It implies fluidity...that by taking care of each other, and stepping lightly with love, the world will simply keep moving. No one knows exactly where, but moving on could be a good thing...

I've thought a lot about you and your project this past week. It seems collapse is on steroids at the moment, and it might be time to urgently think more seriously about what that looks like, and how can we - as caring humans - come out on the other side...or at least, create a better place for those who come after us.

I'm just saying...I doubt very seriously the answer is colonizing Mars...
