Excellent words, Charles. I especially appreciate your staking out your own space and privacy re: your health -- more advice and input is not helpful. It's an "inside job," in your own mind, and the decisions you make about how to spend your time and energy. Ultimately true for every one of us.And I also really agree with your understanding that the "us vs. them" way of thinking and trying to solve our planetary dilemma is ending. An entirely new consciousness is what's beginning to emerge, and that's the place to put our passion and attention. Much love, brother.

Charles, I worked for a great architect years ago called Sverre Fehn who had a book called the Thought of Construction. He talked about much the same losses that go unnoticed for instance the loss of the shadows and stars at night and the room that fire light makes in the darkness lost with the advent of the electric light bulb. Also about how music and storytelling was frozen to be shipped out for consumption with the advent of recording. Your voice and passion for the real physical world - the world we physically live in and your voice for our boundless inner world in our heart and spirit...like good (live) music with my friends...very much appreciated. Your work is one of the stars I follow to help me navigate in the darkness - my life at sea. Thankyou.
