The Rapid Transition Alliance’s project Hope Tales has delivered another corker with its fifth chapbook on the subject this time of Love. A group of creative folk gathered as usual for an evening of sharing content, this time in London’s Notting Hill. Thanks to all who took part and to John Jackson for the fabulous design as always.
An excerpt to tease your tastebuds – a call for hope at a time of tragedy:
Mayday
May we take what we need and leave the rest
May we grow sweet fruit to share with love
May we sing often in harmony with others
May we dance with abandon and arm waving
May our gardens be full of bright eyed birds
May our skies be clear for all flying creatures
May our river waters be slapped by beavers
May our hearts be strong enough to love wasps
May our eyes open to weeds as flowers
May the swish of scythes drown out the lawnmowers
May our children roam free to know danger
And come home laughing with stories to share
Nicky Saunter
