Dear Jim,

Thank you so very much for introducing me to Future Podcast and referencing Dr Karen Newkirk and Bending History.

I listened to it this morning and after only one time taking it in, I have at least gathered these insights:

--I recollected the early work at OOmbulgurri; George Holcombe, Wanda, Ed and Mimi Shinn, Kay Hayes come to mind.

--Dr Newkirk's training in and appreciation for the TOP process in her work with Australian participants.

--Her acknowledgement of the damage of the colonial narrative which blocked acceptance of First Nation wisdom.

--These takeaway concepts: Wholeistic attention to encounters with nature.and the colonial inability to take in its clues.

--She identifies as a "possibleist" instead of as a pessimist or optimist in bending history.

--Three necessary foundations for our future work with transformation: knowledge, enthusiasm, and ethical norms.

I have especially appreciated studying with you and Jeanette over these last 10 weeks.

I am grateful for each of your sensitive presences. I look forward to our next opportunity to work together.

My special appreciation for your family and my greetings to Judith, Jenny, Shankar, and his beloved twin brother,

Grace and Peace,

Charles
