John, Cookie, Nick, Colin and everyone who manifest this little miracle - you have sent a tremor through the force and its impact will reverberate and resonate for many generations. Please allow yourselves time to acknowledge, deep down inside, the majesty of what you have facilitated - ego-less as you all are, humility is no excuse for not recognising your own magnificence.
You humble us and inspire us.

In bed this morning, with my children one either side, I shared the story of the Eagle, they loved it.
I stand on the top of the cliff my eyes closed in the warmth of the sun, feeling the warm air under my slowly outstretching wings.
Oh does that feel goood! I can feel my very DNA trembling with the excitement and knowledge in my heart of what is about to happen.
I wonder what my children will make of seeing their mummy (chicken) reaching full potential.

I would like to thank the Baroness for attending all 3 days of BTC and that wonderful closing speech . I will never forget that admonition to schools- why do you teach history as a timeline of battles rather than one of bethechange inventions and most human creations by people? Perhaps we the people need to do a lot more in inputting what curricula we want to see taught in schools. I'd also beg for more illustrations of how subjects and systems connect because a major lesson for me from the first 2 days of speakers was that separation of teaching makes for all sorts of incomplete pictures. I fear that what we teach litlle boys is what we get later in leaders;as the first afternoon reminded us probably more poignantly than any lecture in my life, if only we could have a white house with 51% women the compound consequences of life's erroneous examinations might not be so grave.

What a perfect example of intent being all! And what an incredible variety of seed being sown - so many extraordinary people doing so much important stuff.
Dozens of congratulations to everyone who was involved.
A lovely metaphor for cross cultural differences emerged while Latvia, Germany and Britain were lunching together and the conversation came round to storks.
We all agreed that storks brought babies. However, German storks drop them down the chimney. Britain and Latvia were horrified: 'How dangerous!' 'How dirty', they cried. British storks hide them carefully under gooseberry bushes, whereas Latvian storks put them under cabbages - which Britain felt was far to exposed. However, another Brit arrived later and raised the question of cabbage patches (providing slightly better cover). But German storks clearly need to be reported to some international baby protection body.
I met so many wonderful people, and hope to meet the rest of you soon.

Wednesday was wonderful day. Congratulations to all who took part in organising the event.  I was just sorry I could only attend one day.
I am looking forward to keeping the momentum going and to joining with others in being the example of what we all aspire to.

I am truly looking forward to what emerges next. Truly sorry that I missed the last day, but what happened in the previous 2 left me inspired when discussing trying to set up a Creativity Centre! Sustainable, partnership, being the chane all were swimming through my mind.
Many thanks
