This is absolutely uncanny. Many of us are working on these threads all at once. This notion of the harmful effects of efficiency ~ can't even tell you how grateful I am for the work you are doing and the sharing. #SoManyEssentialStrands ~ Much more to say of course... <3

Uncanny, wonderful, yes! Yet, while I know Courtney M. means feelings take time (and so seem inefficient), feeling them thoroughly is more efficient than ignoring them in which case they will leak out inevitably or letting them leap out in destructive words or acts which does not finish with them, either, and frustrates their wisdom-engendering process and role.

Autumn Colors

We're delighted to share the second single 'King's Cross, After Dark' from @petraleksander's upcoming record Collage. The piece can be imagined as a reflection on the tranquility that descends on the famous central London station when the day is over and the city sleeps ; the upright piano that graces the concourse plays a nostalgic melody, accompanied by sweeping string lines...

I've been recording this piano record in my living room with a lovely American made Charles Walter upright piano that I found on Craigslist - or maybe it found me - but this record captures three weeks in June when I create some compositions with it and added a few string parts as well.  Enjoy.

Provenance

The history of rebellion is rife with excess and burnout. But new generations have a distinctive commitment to be reflective and activist at once, to be in service as much as in charge, and to learn from history while bringing very new realities into being. Quaker wise man Parker Palmer and journalist and entrepreneur Courtney Martin come together for a cross-generational conversation about the inner work of sustainable, resilient social change.
