@tobylindsay Thank you for the tweets. Like UK rivers it does feel polluted here - it’s hard to step away all the same so just want to say I admire your move. Hope to see you yonder

@YukiNoSaru I must find my way there to that other place - on the list! Will follow these crumbs ….

@YukiNoSaru Hi Dan - thanks for the read and your thoughtful response 🙏Yes me too -I found Jamie’s position so recognizable and so troubling.

@drpaul_stanley yes, your response resonates with me in turn - thanks @drpaul_stanley for the RT and what you've picked out here 🙏

‘The polycrises of our time [..] they are meta-ideas that cannot be directly engaged with. So it’s impossible to pin down what difference our actions make, right?’ Sometimes our micro-actions are ineffable ones too… Resonant blog by @Margigold

@EconEnough a steady-stater?

What is the opposite of “a change maker”? A change destroyer? A same maker? A same maker; a re-bound agent; a horseman of hysteresis.

@ArtfulPractice @DrGaborMate Yes

@DrSteveMarshall Eeeh yes, how can he say this with a straight face?

@SueWaterside The timing could not be better to read this today Sue. Beautiful - thank you.

Moving and significant. So far from the usual idea of ‘carry on until the bitter end’ Imagine if leading was framed this way - an honour to which you give your best to only as long as you can …..?

Now here’s something to sign up to for 2023 ‘Acceptance’ by @DrSteveMarshall ’‘the more attention I pay to how the world is actually manifesting itself, the more I enjoy myself and so my agency and potential grows’

@HelenGou @the_young_fdn @ExcellenceNotE1 Congratulations Helen - it is great to see your work at @the_young_fdn recognised and your longstanding service and creative vision

Thank you to all who have put their faith in the work of the @the_young_fdn and the brilliant team over the last 5 years. And thank you for the OBE for services to communities. In full support of #excellencenotempire @ExcellenceNotE1 & wishing everyone the best possible 2023 X

@brigidrussell51 Thank you Brigid - for the reflection and connection - that means a lot. Gosh but you show us here how to blend those two with such grace - that a new kind of hope is to be found there brings me hope too💚

@Margigold Thank you for such evocative writing, Margaret. That unavoidable blend of the bitter & beautiful I so recognise. Can't, don't want to, avoid. And, actually, now welcome. In those moments, life & love laid bare. In the sadness & utter beauty of the winter solstice I find hope 💙

@DrSteveMarshall Great to see you back in the saddle Steve - and a beautiful day for it!
