I realised this morning that I don't have a job any more. I also got out of bed this morning and had a flashback to one of the worst #jobs I ever had...

Yesterday was the 90th birthday of Dr Jane Goodall, a woman I've been fortunate to meet several times whilst living out in Tanzania, and a woman I hold as one of my elders.

When I first left the classroom and went to live in Tanzania, I spent a lot of time watching ants. It wasn't an intentional 'thing I planned to do', more something I found myself quietly doing every morning as I sat on the porch drinking tea and slowing myself down from a decade or more of freneticism.

Ten years ago I wrote a book called ‘Enough?!.’ Ten years on, I remain just as fascinated by this quality of 'enoughness' and how we can find within us the peace to create our own.

During the 1800s when Thomas Jefferson was the US President, he used to host dinners to bring diverse people together around a shared meal with the intention of simply listening. There is only one rule: there is just one conversation around the dinner table at any time.

I remember vividly the day I first encountered Deep Time; blessed with the opportunity to go on a Deep Time Walk with Dr Stephan Harding, who crafted a 4.6km walk as a way to journey into the 4.6 billion years of history of Planet Earth.
