I have just read Auguries of Innocence by William Blake.
I am beginning to wake up to poetry. I am in awe at the creativity of humanity.
The poem addresses my/our need to reconnect and recognise again the relationality of all things human and more than human.
I will be reading more poetry, I have been reading Emily Dickinson and feel her simplicity.Poetry seems to go beyond the deep emotions it can invoke and due to my ignorance beyond my ability to express those feelings, so that's fine I was touched and am grateful. I am also too lazy to memorise any

The Power of Relationships in Shaping Identity
We Do Not Move Through Life Alone
I often return to the same idea when I cannot sleep.
On the surface, life appears singular. One body, one name, one mind moving through time. It can feel as though we travel through existence as isolated entities, responsible only for our own thoughts and choices. Yet when the world quiets—when the distractions fall away and the night opens space for reflection—that illusion begins to soften.
Photo by Antonio García on Pexels.comWho I am today is not the result of a solitary path, but a reflection of every experience I have encountered along the way. Every interaction, every shared moment—no matter how brief or seemingly insignificant—has shaped something within me. Some of these moments announced themselves loudly. Others flow quietly, unnoticed at the time, only revealing their influence later. Still, each one left an imprint.
We are not separate beings moving past one another untouched. We are vibrations, interconnected in a complex, ever-shifting dance of energy. Each encounter subtly alters that rhythm. A conversation can change the way we see ourselves. A look can linger longer than words. A moment of grace can soften a place inside us that we didn’t realize had hardened. Even moments of tension or misunderstanding carry information, reshaping the inner landscape in ways we may only recognize much later.
Life unfolds, and we unfold with it.
Photo by Debendra Das on Pexels.comThere is a natural ebb and flow to existence—of emotions, of resilience, of learning, of becoming. We are constantly shifting in small, often imperceptible ways to accommodate this unfolding. Some days, the shifts are gentle. Other days, they are disruptive, demanding attention. But they are always happening. We are never static.
When we allow this process—when we move with life rather than against it—there is a sense of alignment. Not perfection, not ease in every moment, but a kind of coherence. The inner and outer worlds speak to one another in a shared language. We respond rather than resist. We listen rather than brace.
When we fight the natural movement of existence, however, we encounter friction.
Resistance To Flow
That resistance creates a different vibration. It tightens the body. It clouds perception. It turns experience into something to endure rather than something to integrate. This friction is not a failure; it is information. It signals that something is being held too rigidly, that we are attempting to remain unchanged in a reality that is defined by change.
Photo by Nancy B. on Pexels.comOur inner landscape reflects this tension. Just as environments respond to pressure—eroding, cracking, reshaping—so do we. The emotional terrain shifts. Old beliefs are challenged. Patterns either deepen or dissolve. Nothing remains untouched.
This is not a call to passive acceptance or disengagement. Rather, it is an invitation to participation. To recognize that we are co-creators in this process, shaped by what we meet and shaping in return. Every relationship, every experience, every shared moment contributes to who we are becoming.
In this way, identity is not fixed. It is relational.
Deepening of Self
We are composed not only of our own thoughts and histories, but of the echoes of others—their words, their presence, their absence. Our inner worlds are populated landscapes, layered with meaning gathered over time. This does not diminish individuality; it deepens it. It reminds us that depth comes from contact, not isolation.
Photo by Nataliya Vaitkevich on Pexels.comPerhaps this is why these thoughts surface at night. When we are no longer performing our separateness, the truth of interconnection becomes harder to ignore. The mind, finally unoccupied, begins to integrate what the day delivered. Sleep resists not because something is wrong, but because something is still settling.
There is comfort in this understanding.
It tells us that we are not broken for being affected. That sensitivity is not weakness. The way we carry others within us is evidence that we have lived fully, openly, and in relationship with the world. It reminds us that meaning is not manufactured alone, but emerges in the spaces between.
We are shaped by life as it happens—and we, in turn, shape the life unfolding around us. This shared movement, this mutual influence, is not a distraction from who we are. It is who we are.

Is the world facing a looming food crisis?
Yes, and the situation is quite serious — and in some parts of the world, a crisis is not looming but already here. Here’s a comprehensive picture:
## The Current State
An estimated 318 million people currently face acute hunger — double pre-pandemic levels — with 41 million at emergency levels or worse. Two famines have been confirmed simultaneously in Gaza and parts of Sudan, marking the first time this century that famine has struck two countries at once.
Beyond outright hunger, 2.3 billion people are experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity, and over 2.6 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet.
The WFP 2026 Global Outlook reports a 20% increase in the number of people facing acute food insecurity since 2020.
## The Major Drivers
**Conflict** is the single biggest factor. In 2024, conflict was the leading driver of acute food insecurity, affecting nearly 140 million people, followed by climate extremes affecting 96 million, and economic shocks affecting nearly 60 million.
The FAO and WFP have identified six countries at the highest risk of famine or catastrophic hunger: Sudan, Palestine, South Sudan, Mali, Haiti, and Yemen. Countries of very high concern also include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, and Afghanistan.
**Climate change** is now a structural problem, not an occasional one. The Global Hunger Index highlights that climate change is now a constant rather than episodic threat.
**Fertilizer supply** is an emerging and acute crisis in 2026. Governments are rushing to secure supplies of critical crop nutrients ahead of spring planting, as the Middle East war chokes off the flow of commodities. The most significant catalyst has been the near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — with roughly one-third of global seaborne urea and 20% of ammonia trade passing through this chokepoint, the halt in shipping from major producers like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman has effectively stranded millions of tons of production.
China has also effectively built a wall of export restrictions on urea and phosphates to ensure domestic food security, with the move removing nearly 40% of global phosphate trade from the international market — signaling a shift where nations no longer view fertilizers as global commodities but as strategic national assets.
## A Paradox at the Heart of It
Even though today’s global food production is enough to feed everyone on the planet, hunger continues to increase in some parts of the world. This is a crucial point — the food crisis is fundamentally one of **distribution, politics, and economics**, not purely of production capacity.
## Some Cautious Good News
An estimated 673 million people experienced hunger in 2024, which represents a decrease of 15 million from 2023 and 22 million from 2022, with notable improvements in southern Asia and Latin America. However, progress has been deeply uneven, and hunger is still rising across Africa and Western Asia.
## The Holmgren Connection
This situation connects directly to what Holmgren warns about — industrial agriculture’s deep dependence on fossil fuels (fertilizers are made from natural gas), global supply chains, and geopolitical stability. The fertilizer crisis unfolding right now is almost a textbook illustration of his energy descent thesis: when geopolitical stress disrupts energy flows, food systems become immediately vulnerable in ways that locally-rooted, lower-input agriculture would not be.
