John Featherby

FAITH.
ENTERPRISE.
LAND.
ENGLAND.


Without a sense of place the work is often reduced to a cry of voices in empty rooms, a literature of the self, at its best poetic music; at its worst a thin gruel of the ego.

Faith. Enterprise. Land. England.

I’m John Featherby and this is my world. So across these matters I love to write and work.

Why?

We need a better story to live within than the placeless, functional, nihilistic materialism that accompanied modernity.

And within those areas lies some answers. For me, at least.

One that recognises sense of place, tradition, beauty, ritual, virtue and mythos as higher sources of identity, purpose and wisdom.

And I don’t think it is just me that intuits this.

‘Better’ business movements, widespread spiritual seeking, frustrations with supranational governance, everywhere I look I see a more locally concerned, immaterial and meaningful way of engaging with the world trying, messily, to breakthrough.

One that is gradually transforming how we live, work and play.

And resurfacing a lost sense of enchantment and awe about the world.

This is my contribution to that transition: joining contemporary dots and mining ancient stories for guidance in a world in flux.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.
