It resonates well with my own experience in the UK. It seems like we are having a bit allergy to a totally new environment. I am now in the US, the diversity here gives me a relax and gradually stable environment. I am looking for a psychiatric support dog as companion. I am not sure how you familiar with this? The local shelter suggest me finding home2home dogs since they said shelter is like a jail for them. However at shelter there is also dogs that seems calm and confident. For a first time dog raiser, if I am looking for a dog that may accompany me and requires maximum 2 hours activities (games and runs), if a “high energy” medium-large dog recommended? It seems greyhound and English Coonhound is fit. At the beginning I was tend to Border Collie since they are smart, but shelter’s worker suggests they are too difficult to handle. Any ideas?
Bon voyage. It'll be a shock coming back. Lockdown was a trauma for the world look forward to seeing you and your story will last a lifetime . You've certainly been the change.
Hi Tamzin and Joe, a little late but I watched your film about Daoism and environmentalism yesterday. Strangely, I was wondering the same thing a few months ago so I found it really interesting. I studied ancient Chinese history when I was 19, on an exchange at University in the US and that's when I 'discovered' Daoism - or as it was called, Taoism - and I still have the copy of Tao Te Ching I bought at the time. Needing to change our relationship with nature is at the core of my book about the ocean, because unless we do, we're stuffed. I wondered if you know about Lynn White and his essay about the roots of the ecological crisis? https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.155.3767.1203
I can understand you feeling conflicted about leaving China, it'll be a massive change. I guess you'll be able to go back and visit though. I saw Jamie and Charlotte recently and they can't wait - as you will probably know! Safe trip back - must be fairly soon now. Deb x
