It is May-Day! Mayday Mayday! M’Aidez, M’Aidez! A cry of celebration Is heard for people and places everywhere. A cry of help is heard for people and places everywhere.

I would like to explore with you what it is to occupy and inhabit a piece of territory.

I would like to explore with you ways the edges to territory may be made.

(These explorations may often be re-explorations, because, since ancient times people everywhere have time honoured ways to make and maintain the edges to the places we have inhabited.)

I would like to explore ways a solid, healthy occupation of a place can be secured: Secured from others in ways that do not threaten others. Ways that instead use a making and a re-making of our customs of using hospitality and courtesy to strangers to secure our inhabited places.

Please join me in these explorations.
