Another kickass post, Dubin. It takes courage to let go of all we’ve been programmed to believe is true. It takes courage to lead with curiosity and imagination. I’m getting close!!! SO close!!
Thank you, man, for the wise words and the kind heart sharing them. ❤️🙏
“It seems to me the great American danger we're all in is that we'll bargain away the experience of being alive for the appearance of it." ~Mike Nichols.
That's precisely what happened. Most people prefer to "experience" life through their screens rather than truly live it. The truth is, they are afraid to engage with real life. How many genuine conversations do people have anymore? How often do they connect face-to-face, sharing thoughts and emotions without the barrier of a digital interface? The allure of virtual interactions has overshadowed the richness of real human connections.
Ten fathoms (fewer? - calling Jacques Cousteau!) below the digital and social media dilemna - which likely, at least in part, gives rise to it - is the incomplete and transactional nature of connection established in contemporary culture.
How often do any of us genuinely feel seen and heard?
The levels of empathy, compassion, kindness, patience, and curiosity are infrasonic. Active, heart centered, and mutually open communication - true listening - is rare. Medium rare? CALLING Jacques Pepin!

Are your spirit guides all named Jacques?
It's Jacques or better...a few Queens, Kings, and one German Shepherd called Ace in the the celestial mix.
