All truth is partial

All truth is partial

I was in a conversation with my partner, Tony, this morning about righteousness.

I will define righteousness as an absolute.

This is right. No other perspective, idea, opinion or worldview exists.

It is, by definition, a closed mindset. It is the house of fundamentalism.

And that is both the paradox and the performative contradiction.

Righteousness squeezes out optionality, and zero optionality squeezes out humility.

One cannot adopt a righteous position without also being arrogant, closed-minded and diminished.

I love being right. The question, the gorgeous question, is, do I prefer to be right or do I prefer to be open to emergence?

All truth is partial. This is an absolute, righteous statement, and also a code to live by.

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....
