"... become good ancestors"—that's going up over my desk.

Argh—I really wish I could make it to Chicago for the retreat, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.

I don't venture out of Michigan often. The last time I did was a trip to the Windy City for a big coffee gathering. I spent the day before the gathering wandering, and Pilsen Community Books was one of the rare spots that I both enjoyed and purchased something from. Hope you have a wonderful and meaningful visit!

As always, Dougald, beautiful questions! I've always been drawn to your questions, which I feel is a much more powerful way to unpack the dominant narrative that's constantly looking for answers to 'fix' the problems of modernity. Of course, I wish you were coming to the west coast of Canada but understand that you can't be everywhere (if only it were so). Suffice to know that your work of making good ruins has touched so many of us. Be well, to you and your family. Warmly, Val in Victoria BC, Canada.
