Thank you for writing these words. I feel 'in company' hah, another irony. I am reminded of Mary Oliver's poem The Journey "as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do—determined to save the only life you could save." https://hellopoetry.com/poem/5249/the-journey/ Each of us must take up the gift of life, who else can do it for us? I am increasingly aware of the instant access to information on the 'long view' versus the 'short view', and its effect on my thinking and subsequent behaviour. I intuit that any important theme, needs both ‘frames’ applied to it and that the screen is most easily used as the short view. The long view is messy, lateral, slow, and well … long. I find that I can facilitate this less linear, stepped back perspective way of thinking when physically active and with literally a long view.

What a brilliant paper!
Unfortunately it is too late.
