Belonging, to be longing, to feel safe and welcomed and enough to yearn for what and who one truly seeks, to be longing.

Enthralled with the notion of ‘compost engineers’ cohering into ‘communities of compost’ to move into this next ‘artificial intelligence’ era with more groundedness and connection in discerning how we relate to and build technology. Excellent work.

Are we trying to replace eldership with technology? Elders were part of the accountability fabric of communities - universally trusted with granting appropriate permissions. They had nuanced lenses from generational wisdom to understand the people in context, and they had the guidance of place.

Sitting with a concept from an Anglican service I went to on Sunday… where work CAN be rest, if we are truly able to rest our minds, hearts, spirits, and general anxieties in the trust that the work matters and contributes meaningfully to something bigger 🤔

Funny how dancing in public is socially weird when scrolling in public is socially expected 🤪
