Certainty locks us in place. Curiosity loosens something gently inside us — a doorway, a breath, a shift in how we meet the world. Autumn teaches that making space is a kind of courage. #Curiosity #LifeboatAcademy #EmotionalEcology

La mort de Bouddha by Odilon Redon, circa 1899 (pastel on paper) #odilonredon #symbolist #pastel #art

Progress isn’t just money—it’s the flows we notice. Map trust, attention & curiosity, and start seeing what’s already moving. #CollectiveChange #FlowNotFunding #OrganMapping #lifeboatacademy emotus.substack.com/p/maps-and-m...

Fact check: No, U.S. oil tankers do not pass through the Hecate Strait. Elizabeth May shows exactly why the tanker ban exists, and why protecting it matters.

Mantra for the day: Nothing is wrong with ordinary. I strive for it — ordinary like trees and birds, like rivers and mountains, like all creatures. Ordinary isn’t the same as normal; it’s simply part of the order of things. It’s the place where we all belong. #personalreflection #dailyreflection

We like to talk about change. But facing the thing itself — that’s where the real work begins. #JamesBaldwin #ChangeWork #CommunityCare #HonestyAsPractice

Study of a Young Man by John Singer Sargent circa 1915 #JohnSingerSargent #portrait #painting

Mantra for the day: seeking to reduce suffering is always practical #personalreflection #dailyreflection

Collapse has reached our sector, and Ben names it clearly. Farmastery + Lifeboat Academy need companions now. Two key supports: • contributions • referrals for Ben’s consulting Read + share if it resonates: [link] substack.com/home/post/p-... #reciprocity #postcollapse #careeconomy

Emotions are relational intelligence. They show what we’re committed to, what we value, and how we find our way back to one another. They’re the root of our moral intuition. #Interdependence #Farmastery #LifeboatAcademy #EmotionalWisdom #dacherkeltner

Gelbe Kuh (Yellow Cow) by Franz Marc, 1911 (oil on canvas)

Mantra for today: learn to die well to live well. #personalreflection #dailyreflection

#pemachodron #peacemaking #wisdom

Courage and vulnerability are not opposites. They’re interdependent — two parts of the same motion toward honesty and connection. A gentle step into being seen is often the strongest move we make. #Courage #Vulnerability #RelationalPractice #LifeboatAcademy

They were more difficult because they were less spectacular … Father and Son by Gregory Crewdson, 2013 (mise en scène photography) #gregorycrewdson #photography #art #contemporaryart #miseenscene

This one’s tender. Collapse has reached Ben’s consulting sector, and the work we do at the Farmastery + Lifeboat Academy needs companions right now. If the work resonates, two supports help: contributions + consulting referrals. Ben’s piece gives the honest context. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Paul Hawken reminds us that GDP has never measured what truly matters. Naming this theft of the future is part of witnessing grief honestly — and part of practising peace as a discipline rather than a distant ideal. #RegenerativeEconomics #EcologicalGrief #PeaceAsPractice #FutureCommons

Draft (installation view, Gallerie Parrotin, Paris) by Gianni Motti, 2015 (razor wire installation) #giannimotti #installationart #conceptualart #art #socialcommentary

Mantra for the day: you can't do it on your own and nobody can do it for you. #dailyreflection #personalreflection

Courageous curiosity is a relational act. Each honest question deepens the ecology of trust. Truth isn’t a position—it’s a practice. #LifeboatAcademy #Farmastery #CarlSagan #CourageToQuestion #RelationalInquiry #TruthPractice #BelongingThroughInquiry

Food sovereignty = communities defining their food systems, not only being defined by them. Holding this alongside our Farmastery lens. #food #sovereignty #regeneration weseedchange.org/food-soverei...

Hot take: Ecological care = basic manners. (The bees agree.) #EcologicalManners #EnoughIsPlenty #RegenerativeFuture

A note on fear, reciprocity, and learning to transform score-keeping into reciprocity.

Ledger logic is a dead system. Ben’s new piece: dread is data. Flow is the future. Read + respond: emotus.substack.com/p/the-canary... #Reciprocity #CollapseAware #ReturnOnRelationship

Le Baiser (The Kiss) by Pablo Picasso, 1967 (pencil on paper) #picasso #art #drawing #worksonpaper #kiss #abstractart

The wheel exists. The craft continues. Building is belonging. #CraftFutures #WeBuild

On a day like today, the grief is real. And so is the invitation: peace isn’t the prize — it’s the practice. #RemembranceDay #PeaceAsPractice #RelationalRepair #LifeboatAcademy
