sp/ns (simple please, not simplistic) is supporting a new meme. The more commonly used tl/dr (too long, did not read) has outlived its usefulness 
Local, extraordinary economic solutions are limited by modern-day expectations. We can Bounce Beyond that by bringing these economies together.

A heart-rending story. Just beautiful. From faith and spiritual tools turning to dust to helpânot only to survive but to come alive again.
Our world is changing. Our thinking patterns are shifting. To answer our pressing emergencies and, fortuitously, engaging in this brings an aliveness like nothing else.
We’re a worldwide civilisation now and can consciously engage in creating thriving, just, sustainable futures for everyone. Yet, sometimes, this seems like a very lonely path…
We hope this site helps us all accelerate positive shifts. Amplification, re-storying and sharing awe…
Our future, ourselves, our planet and our stories, it’s all entangled â Festina LentĂvaldi*

From Skogar by foot: along a mind-boggling series of waterfalls, between glaciers, over volcanoes, across braided glacier melt rivers and through into sulfurous lunar Landmannalaugar.

Wherever you are

My feet encounter
the soft forest floor.

Simple please, not simplistic no.2 Short videos, playlist and photo gallery. Enjoy!
Do you have mysterious access to
the deep well of poetry or music?
Can you hold contradictions?
Are you plucky and playful?
Adorn yourself with these excellencies my kinsmen.
“Hasten slowlyâ said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. Thatâs where weâre challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
