Way back in the early 1970s, we searched for a world better than the one we saw around us, a world bigger than ourselves and our lives, a world worth living to make. The journey took us in various directions: some to devise development projects to alter rural reality, some to politics; others to theatre, poetry, writing, the arts or design in search of a language that was authentic and true to the times and yet others to rediscovering the ends and means of education. There was a restlessness, an impatience, a desire to get on with it and not just talk about it.
