Missing

Missing the depth of warm conversation(s)

Not combat ready talk, full of only glass shards and bullets 'Prove it' retort cycles …………. policed all utterances

Missing heart led flow and pause Plural spacious active void of multiples and ocean of interacting phenomena

Missing time with unpoisoned smiles

The delivery of  Truths:  Mythologies 

*Image: 'Angry mouths.' Pernille Fraser, 2024.  Augmented news imagery. 

'The truth hurts!' they say. This is in fact a generalised untruth. 

The truth doesn't always hurt and doesn't always have to be delivered in a scathing way. 

A little game: 

Do almost all livi....

Potential:  The space between the vibrant edges

Some words I often sense are relegated are 'potential' and 'possibilities'. Negative forebearance superseeding their resonance. These words echos.

'Free to learn?

 
'Free to learn' started as a side thought in 2021 when contemplating Neurodivergent learner autonomy - the learners learning space - the atmosphere they are asked to inhabit.  Rolling around initially as a statement and then a query.  Are Neurodivergents free to learn?

Many already know they are not. They get lost under terms like....

Part 3: Wabi Sabi, a curer for the curers? 
Wabi Sabi embraces imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. It is a way of seeing the world that values simplicity, humility, and authenticity. In a world that is obsessed with narrow metric perfection, hierarchal forms of communication and complexities. Wabi Sabi offers a refreshing perspective that can help find peace and a w....

A quote I often return to and I believe to be very true as we are non linear:
'Neurodivergent [artists/creatives] persistently attack the same theme from
all angles in numerous ways'. 
Jon Adams, Flow Observatorium. 2019. 

I believe this to be true. Plurality, non linear....working in the round, circling in wheels in multiple ways.
