3/ I have been devoting a larger portion of my attention and work to address this collective need. This is all happening quickly, and I want to rapidly get a diverse swath of experience as I build my response with somatic coaching, psychotherapy, and workshops.

Saul Steinberg, 12 Biographies / A to B, 1960
linear processes have their place but these too often romanticize the intent of assembly lines from the age of industry. in the age of imagination creativity and excellence will not be achieved by process alone and will require more intuitive and non-linear ways of coordination.

Hey, it's 2022. Today, I'm thinking about change, about resolutions, about desire, about the reinvention of self, about integrity, shame and faith. I wrote this thread about it, and I'd be honored if you'd read it. 🙏

I just saw some candid video footage of me carefully composing a text message to someone I admire, and I looked really, really great. How I want to be all the time. So, this year I will engage with more people I admire, and seek to admire more the people I engage with.
