Emmy award-winning film writer and poet Alan Cook has written a play about hemp in Ireland. He has travelled to every province in Ireland over the last 12 years and has written us a lovely piece this morning to set the mood. He says we need to find a way back to restoring hope and regenerating the climate emergency. We have brutalized the earth into badly damaged, fragile survival systems. We must save ourselves. The planet is one of the keys to the miracle of alchemy. We must trust, nurture and serve nature.
