Oh Wow, Julia. How this gets to the point in so few words! Fifteen years ago, as you say, we were banging the drums and no-one was listening. Now everything and everyone is collapsing. That headspace is indeed horrible, but you and me are humans - good humans - and there are still lots of us who get how complex and connected all this us. Loads of love, my lovely friend, as always...

What to say? with bewilderment and love, I try to listen. An offer, another substack to which I subscribe might bring some comfort though I know I am both admiring and envious of Elif Shafak's capacity to write. Paradox everywhere. https://elifshafak.substack.com/p/a-letter-to-an-anxious-writer?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1980183&post_id=151450201&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=eeatm&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

Bewilderment and love very gratefully received. And I really am ok, despite the explosion of fury and passion that needed an outlet. Am going to go to bed now and sleep it all off. Thank you for your signpost, I will read that xxx
