What has nature ever done for us?!

It’s a nature three-pack today, in belated honour of Earth Day, which I, predictably, missed. I mean, every day is/should be Earth Day, right? (Like Mother’s Day.) Thing the First: An apt reworking of one of my favourite Monty Python bits. (Done, I hasten to add, with the blessing and endorsement of the Pythons.) Watch it here. Thing the Second: A thought-provoking article from Thomas Klaffke. In it, he asks what “would happen if we invested as much attention, time, and money into Natural Intelligence” as we do into Artificial Intelligence. Read it here. Thing the Third: “Earth.fm is a non-profit, free repository of 800+ pure, immersive natural soundscapes from around the world.” Brilliant. This will be the soundtrack of my days for the foreseeable future. What a treasure! Listen here. Earthily, |

Not to be that “newsletter recommending” guy, having just yesterday drawn your attention to a new one I’m enjoying. But this has to be done and has to be done now.

Starting on May 14,...
Just read the second issue of a promising new newsletter from Finn McKenty. (I know him from LinkedIn, but am most intrigued by what he has to say about making YouTube work.) It included this painfully true quote: “… opportunities usually go to the people who are the most visible, not to the people who “deserve” them.” If you needed an extra boost to help you put yourself out there (or remind yourself why you’re doing it in the first place), there you go. There I go, too! Be seen, James
Think about the way your living space is set up right now. Has it always been that way? I’m guessing not. And yet, I was reflecting today that to our children, our kitchen/dining arrangement, for example, must seem permanent. Things that to them are the only way-things-can-be are, to us (Kayte and me), more like something we’re trying out “for now.” To them, this house is the seat and centre of tradition. To us, this is our suburban bungalow period. (Note: I’m not saying they’re wrong, nor...
