May you live in interesting times ~

this old curse could be the theme of our time - a time that comes with a steady and overwhelming stream of breaking bad news. Maybe the challenge issue can provide a fitting space for reflection. It is complete now, and offers 19 different angles to life in these days.

More reflections: the new language/place carnival went live, with a theme that questions + connects, and reaches around the world: Individuation/Assimilation.

Details to the issues, below, together with links to new books and calls, and an automatic blueprint newspaper.

BluePrintReview will now pause for a while - but the next language/place is just opening, and its suggested theme invites a positive take: "The Heart + Soul of the Cultural Landscape". Let's meet there, if you want.

from the heart ~~
