Starling notebook gathers different perspectives on nature, philosophy and art with a view to better understanding what the good life is, and how to have one.
I picked the name to invoke the emergent coherence of a murmuration - that amazing composite which sometimes dances in our winter skies: thousands of individual starlings swooping and twisting in unison. I have a feeling that many ideas about wilderness, beauty and meaning are deeply connected and I am trusting this faint intuition will come into focus as these notes gather.
Murmurating starlings are constantly interacting with their fellows and similarly I am choosing to blog these thoughts monthly in the hope of comments and feedback from any readers flying a similar path.
