It has been two months since my last New Future update to the network. In that time I’m sad to say that I have not made as much progress as I would have liked. I’ve appreciated people’s interest in what has been happening, and am eager and hopeful that, with some new support, we’re nearly back on track.

There has been a fair degree of emotional intensity for me and others in navigating this phase of the journey. I want to acknowledge that as a means of including our humanity in all this. And, at the same time, it doesn’t currently feel life serving to focus on that side of things. I imagine that the delay of many months that were not originally in the schedule for the process may well have stimulated feelings in some of you as well. I regret any discouragement this may have engendered. I hope that you will, as I have, find ways to reconnect to the satisfaction of flowing forward in service to what we long to bring into the world.
