What a wonderfully gentle dream. And so artfully written.
I often wonder if there is a way I could meld my poetry with my theory work, and now I think I'm going to try. The worst that can happen is bad poetry, and my notebooks can tell you I have plenty of that already.
I love this Maria! I feel like this is a perspective I don’t hear much about. I think it’s probably our black-and-white thinking as humans that hasn’t allowed us to really feel into this.
I’m an engineer by trade but a nature lover through and through. While there is a romantic part of me that just wishes I could run away to a corner of the world, the whole of me knows that isn’t really meaningful. What’s meaningful is weaving together a future of the truly human parts of ourselves (which we’ve lost touch with) and with the technology we’ve created (our recent and current focus).
I think if we can get truly imaginative and creative with this — and think through the lens of regeneration rather than extraction as you mentioned — the possibilities are beautiful.
Thank you, Ben. I have a similar background (as an IT consultant and artist) and have had a similar wish to escape into the wild and be creative only. However, we, like all life, are multi-faceted, and that is important to remember and acknowledge. Yin and Yang - integrated to make a beautiful whole.

I love that idea. Please do and share the results!

In fewer words, I’m here for this journey. :)

This is such a beautiful and inspiring vision, Maria.
I love how you frame systems as living, breathing structures that can support creativity and soul.
