That's moving to read James, and courageous of you to say it. Such feelings are very important. It's the network of deep connections such as this that enables us to keep going. It's a medicine for the toxic individualism of heroic journey narratives that we've all been fed and have absorbed. Ubuntu!
Thanks for sharing this, James. I ordered Dougald's book a few weeks ago so it should be arriving soon. Coincidentally, I finished reading Hospicing Modernity yesterday. Dougald is quoted in the final chapter of that extraordinary book. I get the sense that their minds are very close, which is quite an achievement because Vanessa takes no hostages. I have now subscribed to Dougald's newsletter, so thanks for pointing me to that. My journey has brought me to these two, as suitable mentors for now. It's powerful and affirming to find such visionaries in these dark times.
