What's really important?

Money?
Love?
Work?
Family?
The earth?
Have you worked it out?

Is there anything to work out?

 Of course there is.

You're here once.

Now.

Not next week. Or next year.

Seriously, when was the last time you escaped from your ordinary life to invite a more beautiful question than "What's next?".

Trust me, it will be well worth the investment of time.

You might think others can help. They can't. Only you know what needs your focus. (The doing comes later.)

There's no right or wrong place to start but chances are (by now) you've worked out what keeps coming up again and again but gets none of your attention.

In my case, it's being an artist. Oh sure, I could have chosen any number of things but I know that that's where more of my life and energy needs to be invested if I'm going to make better sense of all this thrashing.

What about you?

What's the one thing you should be doing or not doing beyond everything else?

Enjoy your day.

Blessings,
Julian

Kindness et al.

Now, more than ever, we need to find a way through this collapsing world . Yes, there are lots of strategies, templates and exhortation we could employ but, truthfully, we know in our hearts that if only there was a little less hate and a lot more kindness the world would be a much better place - in so many ways. Then again, the trope has been done to death and look where it's got us. Not very far. Perhaps it is that we've an aversion to opening ourselves up in case we're taken advantage of or worse still.  Perhaps it is that we don't feel it. It's more act than truth. Perhaps there's no quid pro quo. (Does there or should there be?) Truth is, I've no more an idea than you why the world is too often riven with a lust for hate when it should be in swoon to kindness. That doesn't (of course) stop me wondering. And wonder I will alongside all those other issues that continue to haunt me. Blessings, Julian

Where next?

At the moment, I'm deep into capitalism, having finished David Whyte's thought-provoking book, Ecocide: Kill The Company Before It Kills Us . If I'm honest, I'm not sure what I'm going to discover that I don't already know. That said, I'm not suggesting I know very much about (inter alia) Natural Capital, Green Swans or neoliberalism, but you don't need to be Einstein to work out that capitalism has been one of, if not the main enabler for the Anthropocene . Oh, that, and our insatiable, wanton desire for more stuff.  Yes, that's right. Absent us, there wouldn't exist the corporate vehicle, less still greedy capitalists (I say that, of course, only mildly tongue-in-cheek.) As I've said so many times: we need the world; the world doesn't need us . And where does all this fit with the latest UK-wide CV19 restrictions and the catastrophic situation we find ourselves living in and through? Again, I'm not sure. Perhaps it is that we were n...
