The plot of life is way too thick for me right now. Dramatic tension is unbearably high. Will I use this opportunity to campaign and work to put my life back together better than ever before? Can I invoke the best of myself; the most compassion; the most practicality and the best vision for the future. Right now! During a cliff hanger?
I am trying to improve myself and re-invent my business; whilst fearing my own death. I move between the feeling of bliss in my garden and worrying about what it might be like to drown in Covid 19?
It is possible to construct a world that is fairer a world of elegantly managed commons can be perceived. Many people understand that money is invented by us clever humans and we can reinvent how it works. I am thrilled and terrified by the moment. I can see a destination for our planet, but I can’t see the steps to get there. It is a tantalising dream and the dream torments me all the more by feeling just a little possible.
I keep passing the bottom of the change curve, I start to find new meaning and purpose and then I slip back again. There is no time for slipping. This is the Flash Gordon moment; ‘I love you Flash, but we only have 14 minutes to save the earth.’
