Mohammed ordered them in for me when I came in earlier today. Two flat tyres, but a heart full of trust and belief in the new trails these wheels will take. Tomorrow I am going to drive over to Falkland to hold the meeting for Wheel 2 and pick up the lovely Francesca and Maureen on the way. The recurrence of the word Wheel has not escaped me.

I am talking here also though about the sense of wonder that comes with the magic of holding spaces for deep connective work with people and the planet that I find in my daily work.
