The book behind the app · Coming soon
It begins with a blackbird.
Not as a symbol but as a presence. A sound that stops you in the middle of an ordinary day, that asks nothing except whether you are willing, for a moment, to stay.
The Ache of the World: A Field Guide to Belonging Again is Richard Passmore's new book, coming soon. This short book gave rise to this app. A work of narrative spirituality and nature writing, deliberately brief in the spirit of a field guide, it traces what it looks like to recover belonging; not through grand transformation, but through the disciplined practice of returning: to places, to attention, to the world as it actually is.
Rooted in Celtic spirituality, ecology, and thirty years of community work, it is written for readers of all faiths and none. The app is its companion — 84 practices drawn directly from its pages.

Who made this
Richard Passmore has spent decades at the intersection of spirituality, ecology, and human flourishing. He is the author of The Ache of the World.
Still is not a productivity tool. It grew out of years of thinking, writing, and practice around what it means to slow down enough to actually be present, to the world, to others, to yourself.
