Your design senses are impeccable, Stephen, I love the style of the first diagrams very much. Of course, I love the entire weaving of this post even more, a beautifully complex story. Somehow you managed to get it all across in its entirety! I am humbled to have been a part, thank you for sharing your elixir with us all. I am feeling a #senseof hope seeing the way you are stepping forward as a life-centered, heartful leader, our world needs the power of your peace!

I am so glad! Those first diagrams are part of my exploration of nested concentric circles as interface elements for navigating metaphysical gravity. How else might one understand the heart of Mother Earth? I think you are right that I need to explore dimensionality and motion.

I sat down to write this story of our experience of synarchy in a stream of consciousness yesterday morning. This is how the story flowed over nine hand-written pages. To have the text ready in time for the afternoon's presentation, I figured I would read it into Otter.ai.

The Design Science Studio experiences have gotten me used to committing to presentations and allowing whatever happens to be a natural expression of presence and flow, even if I am working on the piece up to the moment of presentation.

It truly has been transformational and such a privilege and a gift to be invited into the Ensoulment Process you offer, Veronica. Your kindness, grace, and wisdom have had such a profound influence on my life. I am always amazed at your presence and poise in the way you offer yourself in each moment. I am so excited about your new venture with Regenerist. The vulnerability of your writing is inspiring.

Stephen... Thanks for including me in your post in the various ways we’ve woven. Looking at it all in context now I just noticed the synchronicity of the hummingbird in your story and lead image with that of the hummingbird in the letter “A” for the #senseof VALUE I created over 5 years ago. I’m honored to share this path with you and Veronica.

Mark, I sincerely value your friendship and your trust. It has been an honour to have had this opportunity to get to know you over these past two years of the Design Science Studio. It has been a truly enriching experience to share grief, conversation, creativity, joy, and playful improvisation together with yourself and Veronica in our synarchy seed.
