Thanks so much John! Glad you are writing again. Sad to hear COVID hit you hard. But I certainly do think that COVID had one positive effect: people slow down and think about what's really important. I do a lot of Gaian thinking these days. And making a book out of it. Just thinking and spreading might be our most important job nowadays. I will certainly not rule past my grave, the young people have to take up the challenges. And all this Gaian thinking makes me really smile as well.
I see now how it might play out in time. The scientists around me feed me all kinds of new insights and old relevant ones. So I'm writing science fiction stories set in 2222. How everything evolved from here. Fun to do, great thinking exercise. And all based on my own views of the ecological part, historical, indigenous solutions combined with James Lovelock's insights in his latest book Novacene and his cyborgs. Fascinating stuff!!!
Here in medium however, I'll publish lighter stuff this year. Challenging myself for some viral storytelling. Not for the money per se but really because I love during curiosity in people. Happy writing my friend. And enjoy your zen garden!
