A great read. I found it particularly relevant to the work of Emergence – you may recall that in 2010 we asked you to come and speak at the inaugral conference. The initiative has evolved since then:

I will share this article with the Emergence partners – for example Paul Allen at the Centre For Alternative Technology. I also find the following paragraphs eminently quotable and they lend themselves to helping me promote my solo stage performance “Who’s Afraid?” which addresses existential angst as an urban disease;

“Reconnecting with nature is not about leaving home to live in a yurt. For most of us, it means adapting in the places where we live now – re-imagining the urban landscape as a living ecology with the potential to support us.

Re-wilding, in this sense, is not about looking. It’s about reconnecting in practise – working with the plants, animals, and ecosystems that occur naturally in our cities and bioregions.”

I work in nature because we are nature.

Thanks John for reminding us all where we belong.
