The world as we knew it is going quiet. We speak more than ever - messages, meetings, arguments, endless streams of text - but the words don’t quite make it through. They bounce back, fall sideways, turn into misunderstandings. We say the same things but mean different things. And in that silence - where the words remain but contact is gone - something essential fades. An ecosystem survives through communication. The bird knows it, sending one call or wingbeat through the flo

Something has broken - not only within me, but in the landscape I move through. The world I once could mirror myself in, find comfort in, and lean my future against no longer feels like home. It is not just the news, or the reports about the climate, the economy, or politics. It is something deeper - a sense that the very foundation has cracked. That the shared agreements holding reality together no longer apply. We speak past each other, as if we no longer share the same rea

Everything is moving. And not in ways we’re used to. Climate, technology, war, nature, relationships, power, work – the world is reshaping itself, and we’re trying to do the same.

That still reward us, even as we begin to doubt their true worth. Relationships that helped make us who we are. Even though the world speaks of transform

Swedish daily newspaper Sydsvenskan  has investigated Palestina cola, revealing that the founders can’t – or won’t – account for how much money has actually reached Palestine. Instead, most of it seems to have gone into building the company itself. That raises a deeper question:Can you really protect a purpose within the logic of the market? It sounds obvious, that running a business for a purpose is different from running one for growth. Yet in practice, it’s easy to forget.

In the beginning, there was rhythm. Before words, before structure, before measurement. The sea beat against the shore, sap flowed from trees, plants exhaled oxygen, animals followed light and warmth. No creature was separate from the whole – every life was a beat in the same composition. It lived in the body. We were in rhythm. Then something happened. We took the rhythm out of the earth and placed it into tools. Turned the drum into a metronome, the day into a clock. We beg

By Paddy Kelly. We need art. Desperately. As the world slides further from the place we thought we’d agreed on was desirable, and into realms most terrible, we need it more than ever. This became clear during the covid pandemic, when people under lockdown not only consumed vast amounts of TV, books, music and podcasts, but, in their desperation, started to make art for themselves, pouring their paintings and songs and sketches onto social media. When things are at their darke
