Old, tired things have been examined and released, new ones discovered and developed.   Deep practise continues, but is now more focused and specific.  Long term projects have good momentum, goals defined, dates chosen, plans and reasons why clear and set – including an awareness that whatever isn’t anchored well will be washed downstream in the spring floods….
