So grateful to have found this corner of Substack where systems thinkers are hanging out and connecting about the times we are in and what we can do to get us through with our humanity intact.

Community, out-of-the-box thinking, and mutual support are not luxuries, they are the essentials.

Wabi-sabi is not minimalism.

Minimalism is about control. You decide what stays. You curate. The emptiness is designed.

Wabi-sabi is about acceptance. The worn stone is not worn because someone decided to wear it. It is worn because people walked on it for a hundred years and the stone yielded.

The beauty is not designed. It is received.

That is a different relationship with the world entirely.
