It’s Possible

I got this twitter thread from Chris Corrigan. It features, as you can see above, a vision and possibility for the future from Robert Jago. It’s a future that reclaims right relations emotionally and structurally. Robert Jago has several numbered posts in his thread that shape the vision.

What I love about this is that it is possible. Big changes that would have us looking back with guffaw — “…remember the old constitution; how crazy was that!”

I like to think that we are living in times when the long arc is enacted through the present moment. Sometimes it’s little things. Sometimes it’s symbolic things. Sometimes it’s experiments that didn’t work as we thought. Sometimes it’s todo’s and todon’ts that change everything.

I’m grateful to those that point to the realness of such change and that move the direction and the narrative. Feels a whole lot better than, “…well, what are you gonna do…” that dismisses a responsibility to pay attention and act on the uncommon.

Glad for the feeling of, “…perhaps nearer than you might think…”

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature
is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
