I really enjoyed reading this. As it happens, I’m in Sydney, so maybe we’ll go see Diogenes this week. What we want (and why) does change as we age. I was last here 26 years ago, and the contrast with what I was after then is quite stark. Acquiring things, even souvenirs, doesn’t appeal as much as having experiences. Just taking it all in and, yes, marveling at where I am. The cabin in the woods — to live deliberately, as Thoreau said — is a good touchstone for all of us.

Thank you for all that you do. I’m vibing on how hopeful this is, and it’s hope grounded in thoughtful, earth-aligned action. This insight really resonates: “what started out as a land regeneration project, slowly revealed itself to be about relationships.” Anything we can do to repair and celebrate our interdependence is worth the effort.
