From the Beauty of Beginnings

I love you too much to let you stay broken

I love you too much to let you stay broken. Most humans want to be held to their best, to have people on their team who do not let them

Standing even against relentless criticism

Standing even against relentless criticism. When we care enough about something, when we live a principle-based life, silence is

Sunset over a calm beach with orange sky, palm tree silhouettes, and a quiet building near the shoreline.

You have to stand for something

You have to stand for something. The first little atrocity, the first time we step over evil, we seed horror.

Sunset over a quiet beach with an orange horizon; a lit seaside restaurant and palm trees sit on the right.

It is never too late to become educated

It is never too late to become educated. Today I learned that Israel has never declared its borders since 1948.

Sunset over a beach with bright red clouds reflecting on the wet sand and calm ocean, a distant shoreline with buildings under a dark cloud-filled sky

Difficult and problematic

Difficult and problematic. If there is a call to action, it is a call to be more difficult. More problematic. As women. As people of all colours and races.

The real conversation cannot be silenced

The real conversation cannot be silenced. When we do not take time each day to spend in communion with our business, our soul,

Silhouetted palm trees and a rocky shoreline at sunset, with a paved path leading toward the ocean.

Finding the awe gate

Finding the awe gate. Once we have been thoroughly humbled by life, we find the ‘awe gate’ through poetry, art, music, a sunset, a rain shower

Coastal twilight scene: orange horizon over calm sea with dark palm silhouettes on a rocky shore.

Data is not truth

Data is not truth. For it misses everything that cannot be measured and reduced to zeros and ones. It strips everything that makes us human

Measuring wealth and worth

Measuring wealth and worth. Worth, wealth, peace, happiness, grace, love, abundance…these are all inside jobs.

Sunset over a beach with an orange glow on the horizon, dark clouds, a bird in the sky, and a palm tree on the right.

Poiesis and praxis

Poiesis and praxis. Syntropic World wants to make things, systems, structures and tools that leave everything better. Useful, practical,

Capitalism has no interest in the sacred

Capitalism has no interest in the sacred or the beautiful. It will commodify and metabolise every single experience that is precious.
