I formally joined RainbowCircle a few years ago, paid a pound, signed up, primarily so that I could resign (because of hypocrisy etc etc. . .)
People dream rainbow visions all winter then when we get into the field there’s disillusions and mud and fuss and contradictions, such strong feeling
~ It seems most of the originals have quit---
but the circles have opposites and different colours and shades and philosophies

Then, before closing, another complete circle of the listening stick.
