In light of the U.S. election, this may be the most relevant article I've read in a while. I've ordered Monbiot's latest book, How Did We Get Into This Mess. Randy Sent from my iPad

Dear Marianna,

Thank you for getting back to me re George Monbiot's article. It was cheering to hear from you.

Yes, I still have my (somwhat dog-eared) copy of Declaration of the Spirit Movement, Century Twenty - and I am so glad you have referenced it here. I loved the language used then, and treasure it like I treasure parts of the King James' Bible. NO NEED TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE. (I think I might send a copy of the "Declaration of the Spirit Movement..." to George Monbiot. I think he might be intrigued.)

It's being together - even though we are geographically far apart - that will get us through this.

Love from Adam in Dover, UK

Thank you, Adam, for sharing the article. I have, in turn, shared the article with several people where I live in Asheville, North Carolina. It has been an eye opener for all of us. He speaks of a “new story” as being key for the future. I also participate in a weekly call with a couple of order colleagues and we are currently reviewing a document written, around the 60’s, “the Declaration of the Spirit Movement". The language needs to be updated but otherwise still relevant.The paper also reminded me story is key for the future.

With gratitude, Marianna Bailey

From Adam Thomson, Dover South-East England

Here's a good piece by the Guardian journalist and environmental and political activist George Monbiot:

Neo-liberalism: The Deep Story that Lies beneath Donald Trump's Triumph https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/14/neoliberalsim-donald-t...

I feel better for having shared this with you.

With love to all,

Adam Thomson, Dover England
