Thanks Chris for these updates, however grim they are. Here’s hoping your attitude ,which you have expressed so truthfully will keep you in the fifty percent that you spoke of. Elke and I share many fond memories of times with you. You will, of course,continue being you, which is your gift to all of us.❤

I would love that! Monday, for instance? ❤

You always have been, and continue to be, an amazing inspiration. I send you an ocean of Love. Today and always.

Chris, you were such a valuable and constant part of my growing process. I always wished we could continue to work together throughout my adulthood. You are forever and for always the man that gave me the unbiased support, (and honest opinions) respect and I dare say the purest of love I have ever experienced from a male figure I have had.

Wait, is this the same Lynn Hoffman that was a VJ for VH1 Classic 20 years ago?

Wonderful work you had done my friend. Thank you for sharing this.

What ever Chris Kinman writes or say is an honor to listen/read. Congratulations dear Chris!

What is this woman talking about?

I came back to watch this video again an encounter with rhizomatic effects in a learner's writing. Thank you for putting these thoughts back out into the world, Christopher. In our human rhizome connections, the impact of exchanging thoughts and ideas travels a long distance and through many years of the glowing of those thoughts, perhaps little 'land minds [sic. pun.- mines]" containing radioactivity that sometimes lies dormant, waiting for an excuse to rise up into the present. I have appreciated your work for a long time, thank you. <3

listening to her is so soothing haha

Well done indeed 👏

Chris Kinman . Wonderful work!

Thank you Chris Kinman and Harlene Anderson for this video!

Do I understand this to meen that geographically there was no fifth Provence, only in metaphor. 🤔☘️

Dr. Rutledge helped me save my life. Thank you.

Ward your right we all should be like Christ help where help is needed and listen to others even if they are happy or sad or mad and give Encouragement where it's needed your right were not to demand Respect from the homeless/addicts because they are very hurting people who need the Love of Christ Thank you for your Encouragement your blunt but very well said I agree now I kinda understand why you post things on your Facebook b4 I had no clue I been listening to this first video u guys have here I'm understanding now

Wow! This so insightful and honest. Thank you.

Interesting conversation regarding language! Etymology is crucial to understanding how the meaning of words becomes glossed over and disappeared. I think of Wittgenstein in that regard, amongst others. James Hillman was always instructive re: words and their meaning… psyche-pathos-logos. Psychopathology: articulating the soul’s suffering…or, articulating a language of mind…. The poem Mary read at the end, The Garage, I heard her read first when Michael died and we held a memorial at CityU for him…Mary read that poem…Kiwi and Charles spoke, Madigan, Garth Thomson, Jeff Chang, Arden, myself and Ninetta Tavano…lovely to hear the poem again. Appreciated the thoughtfulness and pace of your dialogue. As Tom Andersen remarked, words are like hands! I’m touched by this marvellous talk. Enchanting! Peace/colin ☮️✊️

Thank you, Chris. I really appreciated our conversation. Mary Kean

And Chris…. Please post name of book you two refer to on Slowing Down. - Wow! Really Interesting.

Oh man! How many times have I heard that message subliminal or outright! That caring is naive! Keep talking!

Definitely seeing and doing is togetherness.

Politically and Colonially …. yes I have always felt this. That the eyes face to face being demanded. It’s uncomfortable when doesn’t want to share emotions. A hard stare down. A person can do to shame or intimidate. Going along seeing things together brings relational.

Most profound. Your ideas resonate with my own current thoughts about networks of connections - from the "Hidden Life of Trees" - the underground and above ground connections. Trees communicating with one another, helping each other, nurturing each other. It's no accident that finally this leads to theologies of connection - the Divine being that which connects.

Thank you ladies for sharing this most important piece of history, go raimh mile maith agat mo chara.

I love this Chris! Looking forward to it.

This video sublime!

Great piece of work Chris - thanks. This reflects well the experience of rhizome … Kieran Vivian-Byrne

"This whole process can be compared to the bed which a river cuts into the surface of the earth. The channel is formed by the water, but the river banks also control the direction of flow, so that a system of interaction is established in which cause and effect can no longer be isolated. Stimulus and response are thus welded into a unit; this unit we shall refer to as "value." Values are therefore, so to speak, simply preferred channels of communication or relatedness." excerpt from the book Communication: The Social Matrix of Psychiatry, Bateson & Reusch 1951. Yes, the metaphor of "river" in your dissertation has been around for a long time. Congratulations on your PhD. and I loved your defense/presentation. I hope I can have the pleasure of reading your dissertation someday. Take care, Brian Milliken

Wonderful. Thank you!

Beautifully said, Nora
