Simon et al.,
I have lurked on this list for a long while, and your email just moved
me to tears and to break my silence.
I'm in a slightly manic upswing, spent last night in a Zoom seminar with
Dougald Hine formerly of Dark Mountain, then this morning a 1hr Zoom
with Jerome Fletcher formerly of Dartington College (now in France)
turned into a 2hr rambling discussion about life, art, institutions,
mania and the inevitable downswing and despair that so often follows
this current feeling of optimism. That stage when you think "nobody
cares", "it won't work", "why bother" etc.
I read your anecdote while listening to the song, and I cried in hope.
Thank you,
Adam Russell
