isn’t always easy.
Or convenient. But
it has the potential
to change everything.

A 20-minute neighbourhood is one in which residents can get to most of their essential services or activities within 20 minutes by walking, biking or taking public transport…The focus is on day-to day activities that we do for necessity or enjoyment.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

There’s some crazy plans in this map of potential DLR extensions (from London Reconnections, via Dan W). Perhaps the most baffling question is: why is the station between Lewisham and Catford called Medusa? (Apparently it’s named after the road it’d be on.)
