Walked around London yesterday with Helen Payne, an old family friend. Along the way we stopped into Southwark Cathedral<\/a>, which is the oldest gothic building in the city. Rebuilt<\/span> in 1212 AD after a fire destroyed much of it. They’ve been using this plot of land for worship since 606 AD! Boggling for a north american mind, coming from a place where 1700’s is old<\/span>. <\/p>\n Today am starting to wrap some mindspace around SmallChangeNews<\/a>, wrestling with questions of showing vs. telling, local focus vs. global offering, personal action vs. community action, and wiki vs. blog. Boggle again, but finding a space of mutuality, where we can have and do all of these things. <\/p>\n Elsewhere, Spring seems to be back on again outside, so a few errands out in the sunshine. Fourteen cooking days left for me in the kitchen at Jamyang<\/a>, but who’s counting? Then home to Chicago to help facilitate the MeshAction finale of MeshForum<\/a>, all about Networks and Networking. Check it out and join us if you can! No boggle here. Should be a very interesting place to be. And good to be back on home turf, even if briefly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Walked around London yesterday with Helen Payne, an old family friend.
