If you know of Tom Heap’s book: ‘Land Smart – How to give people in nature the space to thrive’, [described as terrific –  a call for positive change], then read no further.

If you don’t know of it, catch its spirit from this page 117 quotation…..
Changing how he nurtured both himself and his farm [? daily occupation] proved a win win, but, for many years relations off the farm became tricky. ‘The early days were very lonely and challenged me mentally because I go to conventional farming [my professional] events and people would be very pleasant and say “How are you”. But they wouldn’t talk Farming [? professional matters] . It’s as if it scared them. Or they said I was mad and it wouldn’t work. It’s isolating and I had loads of self doubt.

That echoes my own experience at the London Business School in 1971 [as a jobbing theologian or ?auditor], which I summed up [in an unpublished book] as Personal Aspirational and Corporate Arrogance’

How do we become more open about the compromises our occupations often impose on justice, peace and the Common Good, thereby restricting our life’s vocation and our legacy?
