January 17th 2026 Life Life Such a mysterious thread. From the wonder of an embryo, to the birth of a child, to the final breath. Unknowable. Infinitely gorgeous. Precious. It takes death or the threat of death to have us pause and appreciate the sweet and savage moments of life. To put aside our petty childish squabbles and perceived grievances. To live. Love. Amplified. As if each breath is precious. My father, after 92 years, took his final breath this morning. I do not know where ‘he,’...

January 16th 2026 Nudge Nudge Sometimes we need a nudge from someone who sees what we cannot. The possibility in front of us. The skills that we take for granted. The threshold crossing from safety and boredom to challenge and joy. The change that will allow us to bloom. Our little world, our little routine, our little stories, need cracking open. Ensure you have good nudgers in your life. People who dare to care enough to tell you the truth and hold you to your best. Photo Taken January...

January 15th 2026 Mystified Mystified I hear the talk about buying Greenland, the island. And I am frankly mystified by how this can even be a conversation, let alone one that is had at any level or accepted by a single person or entity. How would someone buy an island full of people? What about their rights, their ability to speak on the matter? But here we are. 2026. Still living in a colonial mindset that says “I want!” “I will take!” “People are irrelevant to my wants.” Chattel. Property....

January 14th 2026 The heart-work of images imprisoned The heart-work of images imprisoned “The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.”― Rainer Maria Rilke I was listening to Rilke as I ran the curve of the ocean shore. I will never tire of the early morning, the sun in its constancy. For as long as there has been our Earth, she awakens us. Yet I also consider the heart-work of the images imprisoned inside. The daily sunrise forms fragments...

January 12th 2026 Top stories from the community Giving power to the people in enterprise There is a lot of talk about empowerment in business. To bring into the condition of power. Empowering people. Nice, better than nothing…but what if we shifted from empowerment to giving people power? If we removed the majority of hierarchy and operated businesses as a living organism? You know, like nature has done for a few billion years? Trust would have to be a foundational organisational value. Not...

January 11th 2026 The game of life is ours The game of life is ours “When life gets tough, some of us feel that we’ve lost the game and life has won. But life isn’t trying to defeat you. Life isn’t even a participant—the game is yours.” Mo Gawdat For many years, I lived in the story that it was me against the world. I was the cork equivalent in a giant ocean, at the beck and call of forces beyond my control. Life beat me. While we are at the beck and call of forces beyond our control, how we...

January 10th 2026 I consider rage I consider rage My head is spinning, and my heart is aching. I do not understand how silencing atrocity, killing the innocent, and fabricating truth can become accepted at any level. I consider rage. The accumulation of unexpressed anger that reaches a threshold, and that at some unknown point in time, will be unleashed. There is only so much rage we can hold. The Principle of Perturbation demonstrates that when we are perturbed enough, a threshold will be...

January 9th 2026 Good people Good people Stand against injustice Refuse to be silent Know that they will be targeted And are willing to pay the price. There are so many good people in the world. On one side of the world, I applaud Australian Cartoonist, Cathy Wilcox. (https://www.cathywilcox.com.au/) Her cartoon from yesterday has captured the ire of the Israeli Zionist lobby. She has been savaged for it. We have terrible racism in Australia. But to focus on one type of racism as exceptional...
