https://youtu.be/6RP0JdiJasc?si=Ffti2Jw7ysnWND0w The funeral and life celebration of my best mate the brilliant and fearless Micheline Mason was yesterday. How lucky was I to have spent time with her every monday morning for the last 30 years and more, in a mutual support group with various others - in recent years Sue. Micheline was a true revolutionary hero.
Her wish, often repeated, was that every working class person could have what we had: a weekly place to listen to each other confidentially. A space to express our feelings and explore our thinking. That 20 minutes of being listened to made all the difference.
Thanks to her daughter Lucy (seen speaking at the beginning of this video) for organising the event.
