Vale John Berger

To hear of John Berger's death this morning, before dawn in an already grieving household in Shropshire, brings the heavy sky closer. With our guides departing, we look to each other to expand, consciously, into the spaces made, to find a way to be in relation with the person who has gone. To hold their voices in a shell, to lift it to your ear. To listen. To heed. To act.
