Enforced Withdrawal

In response to my latest blog, I received two helpful links. Gregory Heming sent me the link to Paul Kingsnorth article in Orion magazine on Dark Ecology and withdrawal.

“The Harvesters” painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Withdrawal so that you can allow yourself to sit back quietly and feel, intuit, what is right for you and what nature might need from you .”

Brian Reid sent me the link to the Village of Lawrencetown web site www.Lawrencetownnovascotia.ca

This helped me understand what has been happening locally, especially at the Lawrencetown Community Health Centre.

Meanwhile, under new COVID restrictions, I am trying to maintain my business interests that include filing income tax and access to computer services.

My latest challenge is maintaining Gmail service, as I am ‘almost out of storage and may not receive new emails’.

Access to Internet is temperamental in rural Nova Scotia. Combine that situation with the possibility of the loss of email access. I am certainly in line with Paul Kingsnorth and Gregory Heming, however not because of enforcement by Google. I have addressed the issue this morning by subscribing to Google One and cleaning up my files.
