Impersonation
This is one of the largest virgin oak trees in England on a beautiful early autumn morning. It measures around 8.6 metres in girth, and one of its branches has rooted itself nearby too.
I was drawn to the light rays, but also the spider's web that appears to mimic the collar on the main trunk.

Mantra
May you be safe and free from suffering
May you be happy and as healthy as it is possible to be
May you have ease of being

Connectedness
"One is constantly reminded of the infinite lavishness and fertility of Nature — inexhaustible abundance amid what seems enormous waste (Muir)".
Spring has arrived in my humble garden. Hopeful, life-affirming abundance in a wasteful world.
I am grateful for
- colour
- nature's wealth
- rejuvenation

Healing
"The painful paradox is that our attachment to other people, our mutual dependence, is the source of all true humanity and all true joy, but it is also the source of all true suffering" - Marie Dyer.
I believe that it is not time that heals. Maybe, as Rosen suggests, it is doing things that helps us heal.

LEFT- my pickings on a beach walk around 1970 on the South African Wild Coast. The white one is a Paper Nautili, very rare today.
The smallish brown one is a Cowrie shell. It is as shiny today, 53 years later, as it was then.
RIGHT- my pickings on a beach walk last week 😕

The Late Show 1990.
I'm finding it a little hard to work today with this in my head.
Antarctic ice extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the mean. That is, I'm reliably told, a one in 13 billion year event.
We're about to see a lot of shit hit a lot of fans. And we are far from ready.
Business as usual is over. Politics as usual is over. We need to be putting our effort into building systems that can help us survive what greed and power and wilful blindness have wrought.
