Dear Alan - and all,

Thank you for this.  It was very touching, and broke into a difficult moment I was having.  Frankly, my response was to think about running away from my city dwelling and go back to a more natural way of being.  (I used to be a Warden in the English Lake District.  My own patch was two hundred square miles and I loved it, painted it and relaxed into it.)  On the other hand I have a thesis to write!
 
I loved the Te Ahukaramu Charles Royal piece and I visited www.inclusional-reseaarch.org

Suddenly I feel like a child at a party with loads of good things on view;  I don't know what to taste first!  The paintings were inspirational.  Many of your thoughts had resonance within my 'world' too.

How does it feel to have your thoughts and feelings 'out there'?  (Because I have some trepidation about doing that myself.)

Can I get back to you once I've absorbed it more?

Best wishes,
Christine
