Calling out assumes the worst. Calling in involves conversation, compassion and context. It doesn’t mean a person should ignore harm, slight or damage, but nor should she, he or they exaggerate it.
"Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried."

Love this landscape in the eastern Wairarapa hills. Fabulous erosion control and use of sub-clover for natural nitrogen fixing. #naturebasedagriculture #sheepandbeefnz #aotearoanz

Itβs been a long, busy, and very productive week - but my energy levels are starting to fade. Bring on the weekend! #mbnov
Sunset, Martinborough Hotel
A fabulous end to a great day made possible by our wonderful farmer and grower hosts in the Wairarapa. #mbnov
I have a level of dependence on the new word for Microblogvember being posted before I go to sleep, but sometimes I miss it! Oh well :) #mbnov

βLandscape and Memory" by Simon Schama made a huge impression on me when it first came out in 1995. It still resonates today. A masterwork of history and sociology. #mbnov
