I think Brian Swimme is the most important person alive today. He says, "Our revolution in thinking dwarfs Copernicus’s announcement that the Earth travels around the Sun." Humanity hasn't caught up with the new creation story that he champions. Many of my Substacks feature him. Here's one, where you and your readers can sign up to be subscribers:

Get humanity tuned into itself!

Thanks, Suzanne … I’m reading, and watching, him and looking forward to hearing him in person.

Just forwarded this to my mom, a forever fan of Swimme. Maybe just maybe she and I will make the trek over!

Joyce, thanks for the Cosmogenesis book recommendation. Paul Klee has been one of my favorite artists since was a teenager. Close by are two books by Paul Klee: Paul Klee on Modern Art, and The Diaries of Paul Klee. It's always good seeing his work live. He was incredibly inventive. While I lived in NYC, MoMA put on a large Klee exhibit.

Russell … I think you’ll enjoy the June daily inspiration … all Klee. I hope to get deeper into his writings sometime soon. Lucky you to see the MoMA exhibit!!!

You are going to Chartres, France? The Chartres Cathedral? And this is your first in-person experience with this magical, historic place? Go with your gut on this and the answer is yes. Take the time you have remaining in your life to go deep into the area, the culture, the connections with who you are. Go to the next country, when done in Chartres, Paris and other neighborhoods where artists preferred to anchor. I doubt if anything will change you, but you sure can dial it up a few notches.

Oh Georgia … thanks! What great encouragement. I think I’m going over with a one-way ticket so I can stay as long as I want. Taking your enthusiasm with me. Doesn’t begin till Sept so I have a lot of time to prepare. ;-)

That is a GREAT decision. One way. That shows your conviction and confidence in yourself. Truth is.... there are hundreds of flights and choices EVERY DAY, so all you really need is to keep your passport current and enough of a credit line on your AmericanExpress card to fly to the next country and pay for ground transportation to whatever villa, hotel, castle, flat, mansion, AirStream trailer, etc. you decide is where you want to unpack your communication tools and explore everything.

What fanciful, magnificent posts you create. Your closet is full of fashionable and interchangeable ideas. (Pushing another image,) reading your post is like taking my morning vitamin and mineral supplements.
