What a journey, Patience. And what a name your parents chose for you, my friend. I'm smiling as I remember how you pulled up alongside some early drafts of this book three and a half years ago.
May the 4th be with you Adam, and the entire team birthing this beautiful book. Keeping my fingers crossed that some day the words, "It’s mine; I earned it," and the normalization of non-sharing are obsolete modes of thinking/being, and neighboring/sharing carries the day.
Maybe the question asked is the problem... Asking if one is willing to accept a gift *does* infer social reciprocity, although the word gift in itself doesn't have that meaning. However, if someone said I'd like to share this with you it doesn't have the same sense of obligation, although it does open one up to responding to others in kind. Words have power, and based on one's experience may not be heard in the way intended.
Bursting with joy and gratitude for the unlimited possibilities you and we are holding up here, as we invite ourselves into more and more deeply entangled relationships. What a gift!
Nah, it’s the reaping of what’s been sown: your devotion to the grand, emergent project as has been evidenced in your deep reflections and your cultivation of relationships in many directions.
Adam!!!! This is so exciting!!! So much movement!!! And a team at last. Wonderful. I am so delighted to read this. Xxx
I am thrilled, and heartened.
This is so beautiful, Adam. We’re all enriched.

This is wonderful, Adam. I can't wait to read the whole book.
If the book can encourage a few more small community farms in a time of collapsing stories, I will die satisfied.

Yes, Heather. I hear you.
Fantastic news, Adam. Can't wait to read the whole book. <3
Hi Em, I'll be honored to hear your reflections once you've got it in hand.

I explore these question in the second to final chapter in the book!
Beautiful legs, indeed❣️ Coming to fruition, as I had hoped!
Congratulations, Adam and Co, for re-membering and sustaining these truths we knew but have forgotten. So looking forward to book in hand🌱🌺

I feel like the luckiest person alive. Awash in the sheer unlikeliness of the whole thing.
