My conversations with Dean Walker of The Poetry of Predicament podcast always open doors to my own as-yet unexpressed thinking. This one proved particularly potent for me. For some time, I have had no interest in speaking, blogging or even journaling. Every thought I have seems to be one that I've had so many times before. As I listened to the podcast ...

Agitations
Choosing what shapes us
For some time, I have held the belief that if we are to survive as a species, we must emerge to express beyond the limitations held in place by our stories about what we are. Stories that tell us that we are not that which we seek; that we are creatures that must be guided by some greater intelligence that lives outside of us; that without some 'other' to ...

Stela Murrizi: Covid-19 and Conventional Narrative
"When it comes to Covid-19, that voice of wisdom tells me that the conventional narrative is inherently untrustworthy and full of countless contradictions. The loudest voices on conventional media AND conspiracy theory channels only spew messages of fear, hatred and shame. We are now experiencing polarization in narratives, and therefore ideologies, like ... Continue Reading >>
Reboot: What’s important to you about being alive?
I originally posted this line of enquiry in January 2020 - and some things just don't go stale.

Where did ‘people’ go?
As you watch/listen, notice the language and the absence of the reference to 'people'. Instead, what we have are 'robots' and 'humans' - both owned, operated and directed resources. Bodes well for the transhumanism intent. Buckle up! It's not going to get better. ... Continue Reading >>

Pandemic: Swimming Upstream
An expanded perspective requires more than a sound-byte approach to living; one that goes beyond headlines and talking heads and demands focused attention for hours at a time. In our 10-minute digital world, that has become a foreign concept for the vast majority of us. Not good/bad, right/wrong... and it has a profound impact on how we see the world and ...

Mindful Choice vs Habituation
Far more important than any single, particular choice is the underlying - and far too often, invisible - process for choosing that determines the way we move through the world. At this time in our human experience, the frequency and range of choices with which we are faced is offering up the opportunity for us to begin to notice that underlying process and ...
