Amazing example and absolutely the principle of 'larger us'. Overall completely agree, but in for a framing vision it still seems to say more about the means than the ends. Doesn't a positive vision need to capture the destination somehow? The sermon at Megan and Harry's wedding was excellent in this regard, offering snippets of what happens 'when love is the way' but it's hard to encapsulate the totality of what that means. One way is something like 'a community (country/global/local) where everyone recognises their interdependence and builds structures that give everyone the chance to flourish and where nature thrives'. We also needs an accompanying revolution in political philosophy that says the rational individualism of the enlightenment has run its course and now needs reframing and balancing to reflect the challenges of the 21st century. If technology can move on in months and change the world in ten years, it's time that political philosophy played catch-up.
Energised from reading this. Helpful in adding meaning and encouragement to my belief and practice journey - change starts with me. Thanks Alex

Yes to this. Yes to Love!
