Abstract
I had the good fortune to meet Sohail Inayatullah in Kolkata in December 1989. This small slice of biography is important as his personal and intellectual path showed me that I could break free of the gravity of ‘small’, find my own escape velocity, and leap into the Cosmos of possibilities. And leap I did! This early meeting also meant that I got to connect with him and his partner, Ivana Milojević in 1993 when they moved to Brisbane, Australia. This was when the method now known as Causal Layered Analysis was fermenting. It is important to use metaphors like ‘ferment’ because as Inayatullah makes clear (see Ramos’ (2003) interview with him) the personal and metaphorical is so deeply entwined with the theoretical.
