Grateful for past me making decisions towards uncertainty, with trust that relational residue makes the best compost.
It’s the (season-limited) everyday delights that captivate into dreaming.

Enthralled with the notion of ‘compost engineers’ cohering into ‘communities of compost’ to move into this next ‘artificial intelligence’ era with more groundedness and connection in discerning how we relate to and build technology. Excellent work.

Many examples of when necessity is the mother of invention. But do we actually know what our needs are?
Sitting with a concept from an Anglican service I went to on Sunday… where work CAN be rest, if we are truly able to rest our minds, hearts, spirits, and general anxieties in the trust that the work matters and contributes meaningfully to something bigger 🤔
Funny how dancing in public is socially weird when scrolling in public is socially expected 🤪
