My Citizen Journalism course finished on Tuesday. It has been really informative and enjoyable and although i love the conversations, already i miss the world of the arts!
I'm wrapping up for Christmas and this came in today from Jamie.
I shared the beginning of Jamie's talk with our group on our last session together and they enjoyed it.

Tuesday
My friends Jo and Peter Willis go back a long way..
Jo [Bird, in Cornish] does a podcast wherein she interviews people.
She and I did this podcast of 1 hour, the link for which is below in blue.
It is on ‘The Third Way Beyond Communism and Capitalism.’
It draws upon the Scottish visionary Patrick Geddes and Red Indian sources, with a touch of Taoism and Judaism.
Patrick Geddes and the Third Way was brought to my attention by Basil Wrugh many years ago.
The Third Way arose in the context of the city, yet it describes what is special about the close to nature Red Indian, Indigenous, social, cultural, political, spiritual, set-up.
Indigenous societies never split into Left and Right bc they include the best of the Right [person, freedom] with the
best of the Left [community, solidarity], in a higher unity.
When the ‘necessary contraries’ split apart, each becomes its worst case.
Only in harmony with the other opposite does each opposite become its fullest case.
In the Third Way, the opposites harmonise yet each becomes itself, not a watered down mush in the middle.
Indigenous societies had immense personal freedom and immense communal solidarity.
