Idea for April 2021: mana

My idea of the month is mana

A Maori word with complex meanings. But roughly, I think, it’s a spiritual force inside us that’s the source of both personal and collective strength. Which is the topic that’s fascinated me all my working life - it would have been a much better book title than The Big Idea.

My image of the month is this abstract painting

Found on eBay. British and maybe 60 years old. With a framer’s label on the back - Henry Vinson of Blandford Street, in 1960s typography.
