Tonight’s ♊️🌕 is all about choice, esp what you choose to think & focus on. But also about progress, perhaps after a period of deep reflection.

Not sure I believe in wholeness anymore. More about trying to find peace/ balance between opposing ideas/needs. Head vs heart. Freedom vs responsibility. Being human is hard. Life’s often a constant struggle. But it’s also filled with moments of grace. A mosaic.

🤞🏽Cautiously hoping for a lasting peace in Gaza 🕊️

For troops to withdraw.

For the aid to flow in.

For the hostages to return home to their families.

And for the suffering of innocent civilians to end. 🕊️🤞🏽

A particular favourite term from the book, which I think helps to explain the explosion in conspiracy theories we’re seeing, esp. on social media, is ‘fractalnoia.’ 👇🏼

Another brilliant read by @rushkoff.com if you want to understand the dissonance we are all experiencing between our digital selves and analog bodies.

When everything gets too much, the body seems to hold the answer to recentering.

Here’s two wonderful women sharing their coping strategies for burnout/overwhelm/trauma.

Book extract from ‘How to be Old” by Lyn Slater. She also makes a valid point about the way we work.

I find this article oddly reassuring 👇🏽

perhaps us humans aren’t that easy to impersonate/replace after all…?

It’s worth pausing to consider the symbolism of the dark moon - that bittersweet phase between the waning crescent and new moon.

It’s all about processing, contemplation and the mysteries of liminality.

A good moment to honour the space between what was and what will be…

EARTH-SONG

“Mine and yours;
Mine, not yours.
Earth endures;
Stars abide—
Shine down in the old sea;
Old are the shores…

They called me theirs,
Who so controlled me;
Yet every one
Wished to stay, and is gone,
How am I theirs,
If they cannot hold me,
But I hold them?”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

As a creator, I find such sweeping libertarian statements troubling. Why attack IP law (which at least offers *some* protection against IP theft) when the real prob is the current business model that exploits creators? Here’s @rushkoff.com on why it’s both extractive & so hard to escape.
