Greetings and felicitations! My experience on Substack has been a rather steady diet of unsettling insights into how manipulated and marginalized the vast majority of human beings on Planet Earth are. I suppose I gravitate to those commentaries because that is where I come from. I was pleasantly surprised to sample your writing, because it is refreshingly positive and not at all solicitous or naive or condescending. Those adjectives describe most of my assessments of “positive” commentaries, which may explain why I haven’t stumbled upon your stuff until you had a brief question on one of my comments from Caitlin Johnstone’s blog.
So I had a good mate in London who, when I was there 40-some years ago, worked for The Lambeth County Council, addressing environmental alternative options for refurbishing dwellings and office buildings. He worked for a chap named jJeremy Leggett, who I think was operating on a grant, which expired before South London could, alas, become self-sustaining. But Jeremy has moved on, and his current work is, I believe, completely underwritten by private monies, from hither and yon. Here is a link to a project that is near and dear:
Thank you for reading and for your encouraging comment! I’ll be sure to look at the project link you sent next time I sit to write a new newsletter! 🙏🏽☺️
Ha. That was a one-off. My first comment on something that you penned. But I do know that rushing is no way to live. Time cannot be cheated!
