Following threads of not knowing and seeing what structures they form. Delighting in the pulse of life and the moment. Trusting in living systems, the cosmos and the trip that is life.

Our bodies as landscapes. Maybe, even though we have also shifted our attention away from them and try to domesticate them they are the only landscape we cannot escape from, cannot isolate ourselves from and so they are our constant reminder, even if as a backdrop, but with a voice that can assert itself, that we

It means that the really important sort of censorship we ought to worry about pertains less to the management of information, and more to the management of attention.

from ‘Stand out of our Light’ by James Wilson Williams
Exhaustion and the way we behave under exhaustion being part of our identity and therefore hard to break out of.
Linked with habits and addictions and ‘denial or comfort hideouts’.
Feeling necessary to be exhausted to function in the system just like other forms of sedation.
It serves a purpose and is reinforced by the system and habits.

We're entering an era where the battle between content and context will reshape how all policy is created, communicated, and understood. Digital platforms and AI tools have created an environment where:... See more

Thoughts: like we are adding new elements to our perception, but still using old frameworks, rigid and resistant to change, and so instead of the new elements (eg AI) falling into place within a restructured mental map they exercise undue impact on the structure, basically contorting it - north is no longer north metaphorically speaking - the mental map is distorted by these elements that don’t fit into it, because the element we are trying to fit into the map affects the map itself. Picture a magnet with a too large gravitational field (in terms of meaning) pulling everything into a different shape - and so it isn’t a question of how we talk about the new element only, it’s a question of how we talk about everything under the influence of the new element. Like being intoxicated? Seeing through a looking-glass?
Second thought: now more NB who is saying what, the context, as the article says…..what would orient us otherwise? Earth, senses, agency. Have we given these away bit by bit, in the name of choice and opportunity and potential and possibility, so that we are focussed on guidance outside ourselves, or we just took the guidance outside such as religion, parents etc and replaced it with pseudo-choice and are therefore happy to place our power in someone out there, still believing this is our choice we are freely-making and to see the power we have given away we would have to see the whole context - all the micro give-aways of our power.
We think we tell stories, but stories often tell us, tell us to love or to hate, to see or be blind. Often, too often, stories saddle us, ride us, whip us onward, tell us what to do, and we do it without questioning. The task of learning to be free requires learning to hear them, to question them, to pause and to hear silence, to name them, and
