October 21st 2025 Grace finds us Grace finds us Grace meets you right where it finds you, but it does not leave you where it found you. Anne Lamont The thing about despair is that the moment we open ourselves to receiving Grace, Grace will find us. That may be as simple as the sunrise. Or a chat with a seagull. It may be the impulse to get out of bed this morn, when only 4 hours of sleep have been had, because something tells me to be at the beach for the sunrise. It can be a smile from a...

October 20th 2025 Adventures, expansion, the human family Adventures, expansion, the human family Today, we embark on another adventure, this time to Taiwan and Okinawa. We are going to surf and dive, to immerse in another culture, to exhale and recalibrate. I am giving the digital nomad experience a try for the first few weeks. Partially working, while also partially not. A significant amount of our time will be spent in a very quiet and remote beachside village. Our idea of heaven. There...

October 19th 2025 On frogs and symbols On frogs and symbols The people in Portland, Oregon, dressed as frogs to protest the military taking to the streets. The frog, a symbol of the 4chan channel—a place that stirs conspiracy and hate—suddenly took on a different life. In the No Kings rallies around America, the frog costume was everywhere, as well as pink hippos and a zoo of cute inflatable animals. Frog suits sold out. From a symbol of hate, the frog has become a symbol of peaceful protest...

October 18th 2025 Under the rubble Under the rubble Tens of thousands of bodies. Children, women, men. Their graves their collapsed homes. Lives snuffed out so carelessly, it is staggering. The cruelty incomprehensible And the world goes into hysteria over a few other bodies, apparently more worthy than those whose lives filled the spaces the rubble has removed. The asymmetry of the news feed is so staggering that it makes me feel ill. Freedom is not mine unless you have yours. All lives...

October 17th 2025 Rage can be beautiful Rage can be beautiful Perhaps the blood red of the sky was an early indicator of the heat of the day to come. Where strong men and women fell to the harshness of too much heat. Nature has a way of reducing us to helplessness. Be it the ocean throwing a temper tantrum, the wind a hurricane, the chill of cold, or the heat, sucking life and energy. And all the while, nature continues to be so beautiful. Her storms, her fire, her ice cold. Am I seen for my...

October 16th 2025 From powerless to being at choice From powerless to being at choice There is a process of awareness and agency. We start unaware and at the effect of things. For example, unaware of the effects of the Molochian structural design of all of our systems. (https://syntropic.world/breaking-free-from-molochs-grip-charting-a-new-course-for-humanity/) We then become aware and remain at the effect of the system, and our feelings of disempowerment are strong. The pivot point comes...

October 15th 2025 The foundations of everything The foundations of everything In Syntropic World we talk about Pattern Integrity. Every idea, every life, every thing in Universe has a Pattern Integrity. A unique code or thread or quality that makes it it. No two snowfakes are the same. No two humans. No two ideas. The Pattern Integrity is the inviolate principles that allow the integrity of a life to be evident, beyond the ease of words. Some of us know our principles, or values. The...

October 14th 2025 A beautiful third A beautiful third The dawn light was diffused with clouds and heat. A mist hung over the entire coast. Cold water meets hot air. Wouldn’t it be lovely if beautiful mists were created when someone of different polarities met? The meeting of the cold and the hot? That rather than the common knee-jerk reaction of fear and uncertainty at meeting a polar opposite, we could allow a mist of softness to precede inquiry and curiosity into the essential nature of the...

October 13th 2025 Gloating is not how we find peace Gloating is not how we find peace I was listening to the news on the ABC – Australia’s National Radio broadcast station – this morning. I celebrate a ceasefire and the release of the Israeli hostages. It sickens me to the stomach that all the love is going toward a convicted felon, rapist and almost certainly a pedophile, who has lived his entire life as a grifter and con artist. America could have ended the war any day of the week in the...
