as you take a step back to listen
to what is alive now
as you take a step back to listen
to the whispers
can you slow down
walk and see
what life is whispering
to me
to you
what is being called
into existence?
as I take a step back to listen
in the sounds
at the heart of the noise
I hear the echo of something old and true
as we are in turbulence
emergence is what we breathe
can we learn to be in it
fully
and consciously
and with generosity
and grace
recognize it
and thrive
and become?
can we learn
to host each other
in our capacity to become
the best humans we can be?
can we discover
our collective muscle
and learn to flex
in service of all that is alive
all that was
and all that will be?
can we learn together
and practice
being better ancestors?
can we name together
the complexity of here and now
and craft our weapons of love?
why do we need this
art of humaning?
we cannot change
the systems we are
when we stay where we are
addicted to the
already known
the predictable
the fragmented
and the linear
I want to learn to hold
movement and stillness
I need to see
the parts in the whole
can we learn
the subtle art of listening
for the patterns
that guide us to what needs to be?
can we become
in awareness
of the systems
of power
that shape and constrict us and
the field where we breathe
and feel
and find nourishment
and pain?
can we learn and practice together
to see and name
what we are up against?
and with the force of our stillness
move into action?
why do we need this
art of humaning?
calling
our power to work beyond
our structures of ego
to discover our future as eco
to co-create
to reconstruct
and discover
what we can truly do
calling
our future as co-sensing
and practicing grace
as we call out for collaborations
we cannot see yet
what happens when we put together
our whole capacities of fully sensing
human beings
in the service of a shift
towards eco-system conciousness?
what can we learn to sense
collectively?
what can we shift when we
discover and enter
our full collective power?
I need to see the art of humaning
and inquiring about the world
and ourselves
as we enter in the questions
we listen together
the art of humaning
finds stillness
in nature
I breathe
I take a step back
I see life
I see the art of humaning
to help usher an old culture
where we can listen think and act wisely
as the multitudes we all are
where power and love are the
anchors of the inquiry
and experiences
and stories
connect us
and help us see the future
and the complexity
that moves us
act in complexity, wisely
try the art of trying (shit out)
try the art of listening
be strategy
I listen to the whispers
of the present that is yet to come
I want presence
I want my steps
to discover the new paradigm
of the alliance of humankind
with life
in my steps in the new snow
I see our ability
to see one another
for the miracles we already are
I call for the art of humaning
I call for our gift of sensing together
what expects to be born
in the places we work
in the places we live
in the places we love
something is simmering
and awaits to rise to its possibility
I call for our capacity to call
I call for our capacity to hear
I call for our capacity to dance
I call for our capacity to love
and sustain life
I call for our capacity to do together
what can’t be done
and yet is done
countless times, everyday, forever
I call for our capacity to hear the screams
beyond walls and borders
with clarity
in the chaos
in the noise
I call for our capacity to dream together
and grow in dreaming
and grow in humaning
and grow in gardening our connections
and our learnings
and our heartbreaks
and our joys
I call for our freedom in the face of complexity
I call to see and be seen
in the web of life and change
what is the discovery path
we are carving for ourselves
and how will we care for each other
on the way?
there is
so much to learn
and to ask of ourselves
and of others
asking for help
is the kind
and wise
thing to do
as we are practicing
creating
world making
to unlock the potential
of the human field
to unlock the power to call
conversations that matter
what is the conversation you are craving?
if this is about life
then let the world be part of the conversation
then let imagination flow
in all its human
and non-human
shapes
what becomes possible
when we learn together
to be present
to the world?
a community
sensing and practicing
together
change as a constant part of life
this is not about you
you are just practicing
modeling something
in honesty
and vulnerability
calling is
letting go
of old patterns
and old ideas that are not in service
of the work
calling names
what is non negotiable
what is not negotiable
is allowing space for paradoxes
to live
what is not negotiable is
the humanness in nature
and the nature in humanness
what is not negotiable is
practicing in honesty
and openness
and transparency
what is not negotiable is
space to fumble
and work out loud
through our tensions
and our paradoxes
what is not negotiable is
talking about money
and value
what is not negotiable is
kindness and learning
what is not negotiable is
walking the line
between openness and boundaries
what is not negotiable is
conversations about complexity and power
within ourselves
within our communities
what is not negotiable is
the art
in the art of humaning
together
we invent the dance
of what good work is
and feels like
we dance in our bodies and our hearts
we dance our new structures
of possibility
and belonging
and in the dance
we hold each other
in learning
in growing
in exploring
in grieving
in trembling
we are learning to be
the archeologists of our future
what can we dream together?
are we breathing new worlds yet?
where is our center of gravity
in all of this?
what will hold the new together?
what holds us back?
I am calling
a life full of meaning
and work that makes me feel
alive
I am calling the revolution of humaning
can we live it yet?
I am calling
the revolution
of humaning
