I've been very quiet for a long while, Zilch, neit, le néant... so it would seem.
I've been very busy all the same, writing, to communicate stories about projects that nurture, support and create social, political and economic change, capture successes and foster learning.
The lion share of time I devoted to write a book that a publisher patiently awaited.
I stopped counting the hours devoted to thinking, writing, rereading, rewriting in the quest for clarity. Clarity for the reader about ideas and practice - sharing experience will facilitate adoption, multiply know and create change. That's my theory, I've seen change happen, its expands space and time. That magic was what maintained my motivation to finish the book. I've seen it stall many times too - for lack of conviction, time, courage, desire, discipline.
Creating change is not always easy it can rub the wrong way, especially if its trying to replace a habit that's entrenched in a mindset....mindset is one of the keys.
Yesterday the publisher received the final manuscript, all ideas and practice represented by 150000 signs will be packaged into a book that will see the light of day this summer...elation and anxiety. I can live with the dichotomy, its actually become a relatively familiar fluttery state, that has the merit of keeping me from slipping into cruise control.
