PHIL 101

I acknowledge that all forms of linguistic expression point at the Known, Unknown, and Unknowable. In honour of the mystery, I choose to write.

 

APPROACHING COMMS

Effective communicators are in conversation with everything. Words, as metaphysical containers and shared points of attention, hold deeply embedded personal and collective narratives that are informed + shaped by the culture and context of their use (e.g., positive, negative, and/or complex psychosocial associations; both prototypes and stereotypes; and strong, oft automatic behavioural scripts).

Global consciousness is a thought war in which we battle for airtime. Though platform and delivery have changed over the centuries, frequency of thought, heart resonance, and intimacy with life and nature remain core.

…

As such, we must shape and speak words + narratives that enable good faith communications and release those that further divisiveness and mistrust. Ideally, this orientation towards love unfolds in every human interaction, building momentum in omniconsiderate action and continuity. Without negating the very real risk of being trapped in moloch's projections, we each have the agency to cultivate and embody poetic attunement; the crux lies in our choosing it.

Love speaks every language.

LOOPING IN

In Zen tradition, an enso is a hand-drawn circle / circular form created with one or two uninhibited brushstrokes that expresses a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. Circles are also archetypal, universal symbols of harmony that naturally reflect inclusivity, belonging, and completeness. The enso provides a framework for my approach to art and life: a mind state that combines the necessary limits of 1st person sight and lived experience, a blank slate of humility, and a boundless supply of potential + creativity. 

To search for meaning is to find it.
