Thanks for doing this, Dougald. I listened to the audio version of At Work in the Ruins earlier this summer (perfect delivery, by the way!) and I came away convinced of the importance and urgency of this conversation with its many branching possibilities. I’m moved by the thoughtful humility and openness to reaching across lines of ideological difference that characterizes your approach. Since then, I’ve reread the book again.
Looking forward to seeing you in New York on the 23rd!
I've landed in the ashes many times over 76 years, Dougald and heartily agree that shuffling through them can reveal "the hidden possibilities that may lie off the edges of our existing ... maps". I've developed radar for people who know the truth of this; people who hold others with warm hands tended by a fierce and loving heart, such as you exude. Warm Data in practice :) Those of us outside the geography of your trip will still follow your progress - stay well, Dougald, as you tread the path of co-created unknowing, to return home filled with essences to share.
Oh Dougald, reading your words, I have a sense of your joyous anticipation at placing yourself obediently in the hands of such wonderful people! I can also honestly say that your words, your person, the other voices I have encountered through you and the beautiful fellowship of the Long Table have been such gifts in my life. The gift just keeps on multiplying!
Have a wild trip Dougald! And we look forward to fresh gifts, insights & words which you bring back across the ocean to us in Europe. Anticipation.....
Love the Illich-ian remaking of "obedience," to hear toward, as a servant would, thus to serve. That spirit should serve you well on what sounds like an excellent journey. When you're done, you'll know that side of the country better than I do.
Will there be zoom opportunities, or links that I can share on The Climate According to Life? Travel well, Rob
Thanks, Rob – should there be a "next time", then I will make it to your side of the country! Meanwhile, I'm checking with the organisers whether any of the events will be streamed. There will at least be audio recordings of most of them.

Is that the thing I’ve said that most stayed with you? Brilliant 😂
Hahaha! One of many, Lydia – one of many!

Good luck with the tour, Dougald!
I know it's a long shot, but your Tokyo contingent has its fingers crossed for a tour of Japan next time!
See you next week in Great Barrington. Safe travels!
Maybe ideas take two whole weeks to hatch, like a honeymoon, the tourist remains clueless in the dream and the scroll?
The country is run by those in conversation, not the tourists, like the club of mind honeymooners at one location.

Thanks, Dougald! I'll look forward to that possible next time, and glad to help as best I can.
