Wildness
On these index pages you'll find stories, video, images and poetry tagged with specific themes. This page is on: Wildness
Gorgeous cries for connection and wildness. Our future has an ancient heart and you can feel it beating! In poems, pictures, words, music and film.
Edges: light and timeless
Wild edges, small islands, the middle of the North Atlantic. These are places where we melt, become timeless, spaces beyond interpenetrate us.
Expanse: isolation and connection
From the wilds of the far northern Atlantic coasts. The near impossible, being alone and deeply connected to humanity, comes viscerally alive in the wind.
A key: enclosures
Bring diverse pieces together and the new can emerge.
This New Year’s enklavene arose from stumbling across earth, fire, water and rock coming together. That diversity created the heart.
About this content
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…

Global sunsets: the kosmos from my floor
My world has become both small and expansive. It’s contracted to a room with a view of the kosmos. Yet the paradox is it does not feel small.

Make haste – slowly, powerfully, minimally
“Hasten slowly” 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. That’s where we’re 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.
