I don't think I can fairly call this piece a good accompaniment to Paul Kingsnorth's latest, since it came out first... Let's say then that Paul Kingsnorth wrote a great accompaniment to *your* work with his own series-concluding essay on rainmaking, today. It's so exciting and so fascinating to be in a position to see all these conceptual threads starting to come together from so many different corners: when the animist pagan and the Orthodox Christian have come to wholly-complementary conclusions about how to engage with the world of the future, it does have a sense of zeitgeist to it. Or if that's too strong a word... zeit-breeze, at least.
This has been a wonderful series to read. Your time and effort was more than well-spent. You deserve all the credit in the world for cracking this open, and I can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve in the coming months.
