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. Objects. Annoyances.

I listen to the talk on the radio, and I am flummoxed by the casualness of this conversation.

Where is the outrage? Where are the governments around the world halting the conversation dead in its tracks? How do we even let the first sentence of this conversation happen?

NO. NO. NO.

Greenland, then another place. One Little Atrocity at a time. (https://syntropic.world/little-atrocities-the-path-from-integrity-to-self-deception-and-bad-business/)

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...

Beauy of Beginnings - January 12th - Giving power to the people in enterprise

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...
