not wordless, but maybe...

I don't have very much to say this week, other than just to acknowledge that some of us will still be going through it, some of us are on the other side, and some of us are only just waiting to begin.

Maybe it's time to step up or step out, or to let go, or to keep firm hold.

 

I trust that you are on a worthwhile path, and travelling in the ways that are best for you.

If not, I hope you get there soon.

4 minute read   Life gets complicated. Not least around politics and economics.    We are all faced with challenges that originate from these places.   A perspective that helped me make more sense of life, especially in terms of political division, came when I began to see capitalism and socialism as being conditions on a spectrum as opposed to being opposing principles.   There are some things...
