show up like you mean it -

This thinkings page is like a human unboxing but without the asmr!

I’ll try to deliver ordered themes of life, work and relationships but I’m telling you now, it’s going to be hard because my life’s work is to move through the world as a complex system, where life is love is work: organic, evolving and integrated.

Thinkings will always be about making sense because that is what I walk through the world doing: looking for meaning, searching for context.

And I scream at the top of my voice “what’s going on?”

A different perspective for those of us who may be accustomed to being gaslit or may be over eager to accept blame…

Sometimes triggers can be red flags, not just maladaptive responses.
