These days leave me wondering what we are present with, exactly – when we are present, that is. The interesting thing about inner leadership is that we can also inhabit our own inner followership (the whole. Apparel in Lisbon. I’ve dressed it up and d...But whe...

Towards 60 radical intentional acts that celebrate life. 32 Walk a mile. It feels like I’ve been quiet for a while. It’s not true of course: there’s plenty of internal and peripheral noise going on. How does one find words when everyone is finding their way through the detritus of what masquerades for electoral democracy in the north… We’re all doing our best. Lest one think that these electoral debacles are local events of no wider importance, Adam Curtis’s film for the BBC,. I’m resisting using t...

Towards 60 radical intentional acts that celebrate life. 22 The body politic. I remember hearing something on the radio this week about super-taskers people who can hold their attention on several things at once, and I toy with the idea that I might be one of them. I’m not, of course. I’m just looking for an alibi. How are we to be after the referendum? How are we to inhabit this space between the end of an era and the beginning of something else, as yet undefined? 21 That’s who we are. Moore didn’...

Towards 60 radical intentional acts that celebrate life. 26 How to keep silence. When we’re kids, we build dens where we can be ourselves in our own self-defined small encampments. You can buy ‘den-making kits’ in the shops, and even Save the Children has an annual ‘Den Day’ to raise awareness of child welfare issues. We all need intimate, safe space. Gunilla Norris has written. 8220;When we make a place for silence, we make room for ourselves”. Maria Montessori, the doctor and educationalist, believed t...

Towards 60 radical intentional acts that celebrate life. 25 This place could be beautiful…. Well, it happened. I turned 60 last week. I decided to grace Southwold with my presence. Somewhere between the literary festival and the start of Latitude it was awash with bright young things and predatory herring gulls, apparently becoming adept at snatching people’s sausage rolls while their attention is elsewhere for a moment. The shelf of the beach is stoney so less popular with day trippers, and hidden among...

Towards 60 radical intentional acts that celebrate life. There are many things I love about travel, but one is the journey the sense of passing through the landscape and taking in a sense of geography. Geography isn’t a fixed thing: it flows from one arrangement to another, and the corridors we travel in snake their way at best sympathetically, but sometimes uneasily around and through contours and landmarks. Journey is movement through the landscape. 22 The body politic. Middot; July 5. Liked by 1 person.

Towards 60 radical intentional acts that celebrate life. 18 The true meaning of courage. We stayed with it for a couple of years, learning a form that came to be called. It was an accident that we started with the. Form; it wasn’t that we weighed up the pros and cons of different forms; it was simply that this was what was available. So we learned the square form, discovered the joys of pushing hands exercises, and watched in awe on the odd occasion when Ian would demonstrate the long form. The interplay...

Towards 60 radical intentional acts that celebrate life. 15 Stories, histories, heartbeats. These past couple weeks I’ve been reflecting on my cultural roots. In the past few days in England celebration has begun of the 400 years since Shakespeare’s death in 1616. But I’ve been experimenting with owning the feeling of alienation I have from Shakespeare. It feels almost heretical. Something to be whispered for fear of being branded as culturally inept. They speak to me. Perhaps all these parts of us need ...
