I keep coming across ideas and themes and words that I want to incorporate into the stuff that I do.
This can show up as dance, theatre, music, poetry, photography, novels, biographies and the way a black bird or a crow looks at me as I stare at them from my window or walking passed them in the park.
When I notice something and think/feel that I want to use it in some way, I make a note then lose the note.
So, I am planning to add them here and pick them up as I go.
May well be that I never come back to check and if so, ok. Meanwhile let’s try this out and see what happens.
Set my intention, let go of the outcome.
And if you find them calling you towards action, feel free to share what emerged from that and pass it on me if you wish, maybe we could share whatever you create here?
First one
31st Jan morning thing…
“…ethical relations in a world where we can never really know each other the way we know ourselves.”

What is an ethical relationship… in what ways do I know myself… what stops me from knowing you in those ways… is there know better, know well, know not so well, how much do I need to know, me, you, do we ever know?
Inspiration via David Graeber, came across him via the Occupy Movement… and example of taking back what has been denied us.
This and loads more if you need it, if you can’t find it or you want to share your knowledge and/or experience of Occupy actions, gat in touch.
The Occupy movement was an international, decentralized, and leaderless populist movement that emerged in 2011 to protest against social and economic inequality, the influence of money in politics, and corporate greed.
This is a pic of David Graeber. I didn’t know him but have heard him speak and share stuff, and seems like a good guy to me.
Second one
When the land is healthy, the people are healthy.
And;
Destruction is swift, rebuilding takes time.
I think these are both from films via Science and non duality… use this for more;

I get a lot from their work most of that from indigenous wisdom themes.
Third one
I like the stuff that The London school of SolarPunk offer, do and get up to.
They have regular free events on Wednesday evenings at The Post Bar at, Seven Sisters road Tottenham.
And, they do other stuff, always inviting you, and me, to bring and share whatever it is that we are want to contribute
to the push for new ways and systems of living and being.
