De-escalation or escalation part of the response. Demands on space and time. Fair, reasonable and proportionate responses to conflicts.

Choosing to highlight ignorance
Ten years since amplifying the ignorance of giants we have a new government in the UK, constrained to fiscal rules. Sadly still there are very few voices that choose to honour the high tide aspirations of the nation’s story. Further fuelled by the low volume on SDGs. Twenty years ago I thought there was a glimmer of light , little did I know that holding a light up in the darkness would be so difficult. However, recognising the iatrogenic impact of actions is a valuable lesson, discovering that institutional and structural depression can shackle a communities understanding of itself and its development journey. Holding a lamp for each other is an imperative to expose ignorance and help towards a better informed, understanding a wise glocal glassfulness. The clear aspiration of The Compassion Net.
Accepting reality
It is wise to be conscious of capability and capacity. Appropriate risk assessments to provide an understanding of possible pressures, stress testing.
RESTfulness by resolving restlessness.
Starting with basics
Too often baselines are not established to enable all St the table. The uncomfortable is denied and a false reality is presented.
Time for change
Change takes place everyday at a personal level. However institutional and structural change adds additional tensions and stresses. Understanding the impact of change requires genuine contact with the reality presented and genuine responses to it.
We need to listen to RESTlessness and allow discomfort a place at the table.
