Ethical cities – Anam Čara
• Within and without – connectedness and un-folding
positive solitude
work and action
Outer energy diminishment
our within
The digital has truncated time and space.
…
We have forfeited the practice of
patience, the attention to emergence and
the delight of discovery. ..
The self has become anxious for what the
next instant might bring …
friendship as awakening
senses and creativity
Death and illumination
our within next instant might bring …
The greed for destination obliterates the
journey …
When the sense of destination becomes
gracious, the journey can become an
adventure of beauty. …
(John O’Donohue)
