Yes thank you Isobel. It is good to celebrate our identies. Here in England, I have been thinking about our (Americans' ) acute dependence on this Independence Day. We all depend on climate, health services, governments, messages of hope and comfort, ad infinitum. And yet, we can be independently never going under. Thank you all for being this community.

Dear colleagues, Here in Australia it is winter, and yet we read and see so much of what many of you are experiencing with excessive heat and wild fires. We regularly experience these in summer here now. We are thinking of the people especially those living in Canada in British Columbia and the US, in the Pacific North West. St Paul comes to mind, from Corinthians “ always going through it, never going under.” Climate change is reeking havoc on the Great Barrier Reef, here in this country. We are worried, as our Government is very slow to acknowledge and act. However, we remember Canada has just celebrated her National Day and today is July 4, so let us celebrate in the midst of your national identity. Covid is still with us here, and vaccination roll out too slow here. With fond memories of my life in both Canada and the US. Loving greetings, Isobel Bishop
