Its relational

Its relational

It is easy to disregard the stranger. To ignore their pain and circumstances.

It is easy to buy meat from a factory farm when it is wrapped in plastic on the supermarket shelf. Forgetting the animal.

Last week, as I hand-fed my chicken Stephanie, who, for some unknown reason, was unable to walk, yet very alive from the body up, I came to love and appreciate her fighting spirit. She wanted to live, against all odds, even being attacked by a giant goanna. I stroked her, spoke gently to her, a chicken that had refused touch until her illness.

I felt, clearly, the threads of relationship. To flames of life connected, transcending animal/human language.

When it became obvious she was not going to walk again, we chose to humanely euthanise her. I wept for her, for her spirit.

It is the relationship.

Without it, without that connection, compassion and care are harder to find.

Yet we build enterprises where the relationships are secondary. We build lives where we keep ourselves separate. It feels safer. To not feel. To not allow the enormity of the relational dynamic to inform decisions.

Nothing happens without the relationship. The thread and field of relationships are the soil for the impossible to become possible.

Investing in the quality of the relationships is one of the best investments to make. Upon a foundation of quality, respectful and caring relationships, we build goodness and beauty.

A Syntropic Enterprise places the quality of relationships as a central focus of all we do.

In the end of days, it is the relationships that matter.

Beauty of Beginnings - February 6th - Into the arms of surrender

February 6th 2026 Into the arms of surrender Into the arms of surrender You are awake at 12.53 am. 12.54 am…2.23 am… Life is just not playing your tune. The heavens and all the gods seem to have packed up and left the building. You toss and turn. “Why oh why?” you beseech to the silent heavens. Of course, there is no answer. This is the desert. This is the mouth full of sand, and the scorching heat and a yearning for water. Your soul craves, craves water. Cool. Quenching. But there is no...

Beauty of Beginnings - February 5th - Life serving

February 5th 2026 Life Serving Life-serving Is this activity or habit life-serving? Do my cells vibrate with happiness and joy when I do this? Is my nutrition life serving? Are my relationships life-serving? Do they nourish me, grow me, mature me, ask me to rise to the better version of me? Is my work life-serving? Do I feel that I add more than I take? Am I serving the lives of others in my work? Am I surrounded by people who hold each other up? Is my current thinking life-serving? Or am I...

Beauty of Beginnings - February 4th - Economic Statecraft

February 4th 2026 Economic Statecraft Economic Statecraft Sounds exotic. Smart. But it is essentially bullying and blackmail. The use of financial and currency levers to get what you want, with the precessional effect being increasing hunger, homelessness and bankruptcy for the majority. (https://syntropic.world/imagine-if-our-goals-are-not-the-point-the-principle-of-precession/) We watch as blunt instruments such as tariffs are wielded. Countries with governments that do not bend the knee to...
