This is such a beautiful template for community and finding purpose, Alan. I'd never thought of it this way, although it reminds me of Quaker meeting. Hard-boiled Americans like me are so steeped in a a culture of individualism, productivity, and making things happen that this feels like a radical shift. And a much needed one. I've sensed rumblings of Me, We, Us arising on a larger scale for awhile. Your essay offers the model for it.

Thank you so much, Cate. And I love the similarity you find to a Quaker meeting. There is an element of that. It is quite an extraordinary community.

Thank you Alan, just beautiful to listen to your words on this sundaymorning with a delicious toasted sandwich with real swedisch orange marmelade. And than I am back on Utö, with the island, with our group of people. Ït's about being the presence together".

Thank you Alan.

It was such a beautiful invitation to explore the energy of ‘being gathered’. From the perspective of me, we and us. Both introspective, interactive and immersive.✨
