Beautiful

Thank you Katie & Dougald - this is such an important piece. I especially appreciate how Dougald makes visible the nuance required to navigate these pathways so that we deepen our connection with life. Too often we inadvertently get trapped into repeating the existing culture, whilst earnestly believing we are creating the regenerative future we long for, - precisely because we miss what Dougsld so articulately points to.
I’m grateful for the ability to share with others

This is a great summary of Dougald's learning .... but please cut the sentimental music. It really doesn't needs this and it undermines the reality of it.

Thanks for the feedback!

@@inthemaking412 I disagree, keep the music. Thank you so much for this gift from the ruins.

@@ivanidso9491 LOL choosing music etc. is like setting the room temperature for 1,000 people. For some too cold, for some too hot, for some just right. This was just for the transitions and I personally like it too and have gotten that feedback elsewhere also (thus the room temp analogy). I will upload a version without the music. TH-cam doesn't allow videos to be replaced in a way that preserves the URL (shake fists at "the sky") so happy to just have a second version co-exist for those who like the room to be cooler;-)

I went ahead and did a separate upload of the video sans music. Feel free to share this link if you wish. th-cam.com/video/z271gObfdLc/w-d-xo.html
