It is a real gift to the world. As are you.

Ah, I'm too late! But #3 would have got my vote.

Wishing you the very best with that. By chance - last Sunday at church we had a visit from a choir that sings at the bedside of dying people in the hospice - very lovely to hear the comforting songs and to hear about their work.

Research scientist in my 30s to Unitarian minister in my (late) 40s. Academia was dreadful for my mental health. I gave that job up before I had somewhere else to go. I was already volunteering for the church and slowly paid opportunities emerged. It took a long time but I'm in the right place now.

'Dumplings and consciousness remain' feels like good religion.

It's a brilliant book - particularly enjoyed your telling of it in the audio version - and have been recommending it to friends.

Thank you for giving me the decisive nudge to sign up...
