I'll tune into the Whitecaps-Montreal match right after this insane Santos-Atheltico Mineiro game is over. 10 mins left, 4-3 on aggregate for Santos and C.A.M has let two leads go.

Good recent reads
Some good recent reads which didn't make it into full blog posts: Peter Levine offers a close reading of Wendell Berry's poem, September 2: "If his leaves are his writings, I do not think they will soon dissolve." A beautiful Guardian article about slime moulds and the people who study them: "So confounding were they that Carl Linnaeus, who spent his life taxonomising life, lumped them into a genus called “chaos”."

New season and new directions for Carmina Bowena
One of the joys of my life is singing with my a cappella Renaissance choir, Carmena Bowena. For the past six yers we have worked on a repertoire of mostly Renaissance sacred music and madrigals and spreading into slightly later southern European folk music from places like Spain, France, Corsica and Italy. We have sung contemporary arrangements of songs by Sting and Paul Simon and Gordon Lightfoot and modern settings of old liturgical texts like Ubi Caritas, Ave Maria and O Nata Lux and O Magnum Mysterium.

What’s for us will find us
I work with lots of organizations in transition, and always have done. Specifically organizations who leadership is leaving, often representing a transition from a founder to the next generation. These situations are fraught with new and unexpected emotions, states, and situations. The folks that remain find themselves relying on stuff that was invisible before the transition but which is missed now.

Groups, brains, and the fallacy of digital thinking
Dave Snowden publishes a post today thick with some interesting brain research and some musing about how we might structure organizations along the lines of what we know about how brains work: What would be different is an organisational design practice that treats cognitive profile distribution as an analogue substrate to maintain, not individual variation to manage toward a norm. It would assess tools, processes, and frameworks for their effect on that substrate — asking, in Clark’s terms, whether each is scaffolding or substituting, rather than measuring only their effect on output.

Labour Day
Anne Lamott, from an old post on Labour Day (which she spells in the American way): I guess it is a plank of the Christian right to be anti-union now. But remember, there are still a lot of us in the Christian left, and we don't feel that way. When I was growing up, everyone I knew was pro-union, just like everyone used public libraries and everyone in California was proud of the public education system and loved the state's natural beauty.

Our Niko Papakyriakolpolous has signed on to Makedonika in the Greek third division. Thought Dunfield might take him at Pacific, but that's an inside joke for the Swanguardians! Congrats Niko!
Really pleased to read today about the @tssrovers.bsky.social that made the BCPL team of the season. Sofia Faremo has grown into a strong, powerful and commanding DM and CB. I think she’s our all time minutes leader. Iron woman.
Yup, greatest tifo I’ve ever seen (VfL Osnabruk fans against Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal) 🎢

The turning
Back in 2001 I wrote a song about the end of summer here on Nexwlelexwm/Bowen Island that contains the lines "The winds have turned southeast again/And the Sound is full of cloud." Today is that day, right on time. Blustery winds in the channel in front of my house, a steady blow in the tree tops and a sprinkling of rain.

Dear mates: a letter to my Art of Hosting community
Since the spring I have been wrestling with an evolution in my practice. It was prompted by a series of exchanges with Dave Snowden in response to his strong exhortation that those of us who say we are working with complexity should truly reflect on our practice. At the heart of the challenge, as I took it on board, is the claim that a hosted container is a consequential intervention in a system, but it is not the system itself.

Three articles on meaning making
Wendell Berry has died. Patti Digh's was the first obituary I saw this morning. And so here is her brilliance, as she offers a characteristic take on his work and legacy: Most of us are not good at staying. We are trained for leaving—for the bigger market, the better opportunity, the next thing, the bright lights. Berry’s work is a patient argument that this training has cost us something we can barely name anymore: the knowledge that comes only from affection, and the affection that comes only from time.

Bowfest turns 50
Our annual community festival, Bowfest is happening today. AS I write from home, a kilometre and a half from the festival field I can hear the band Queer as Funk getting everyone dancing. It turned out to be a beatiful day - blustery and cool but bright sunshine and clear skies. It looked like rain was in the forecast but we dodged it.

Hey @grillermonsoon.bsky.social tell me why you think Fernandes spent most of that match playing in the inside right DM position. Bentanciur had it covered and we needed him connecting the lines. I thought he was best when they were properly pivoting up the middle but he hid in the 2nd half.
