54: Seeing systems
On an Aeroflot flight from London to Moscow in 2004 something struck me as extremely odd. Looking up at the air vent above my seat, there was a hair spray painted onto the air conditioning grid. Not only this, but the grid was also clearly manufactured by hand. The more I investigated the…

53: Origin
This week I wanted to start with a thought experiment. Imagine you are a primitive stone-age hunter, walking into the ruins of a library. You have never heard of reading and writing so the shapes and symbols in the books have no meaning to you. In fact, you have never come across anything that...

50: re-SPECT
That took a lot longer than expected! But the journey has been a rewarding one. Between edition 49 and this week's newsletter, I've been to Cameroon, getting my feet and hands dirty with the raw challenges of launching COOKO. In a sense, it also provided me with first-hand lived experiences of…

48: Empathy
Empathy has become a very charged term in these days of integration and identity. Through mindfulness and non-violent communication, we seek ways to engage and anticipate the emotional realities of our counterparts. Surprisingly, the word empathy is relatively new. It traces its roots back to…

47: Courage
I woke up to yoga quite late in life. Living in NYC I could never take the mat-bearing yogis spinning through the lunchtime rotating door at the local yoga studio seriously. How could the 20-minute session they had, be meaningful? Until I met ZanZan in Bali. Our sunrise sessions at his temple...

46: Unchained
I have, the always insightful, Christine De Lille to thank for the wonderful gift of Anthony Brand and David Eagleman’s “Runaway species.” It is an excellent book that unpicks the essence of human creativity. Their core thesis is that humans innovate by doing three things: 1. Breaking 2. Blending...

45: Broken
Last year archaeologists revealed a stunning find in Mexico. A set of footprints, more than 12 000 years old revealed a mystery and a drama. We are not sure who this prehistoric individual was, perhaps a woman aged about 12 or a young man, but we do know they were in a hurry. The scientists could...

44. Focus
Ipley Cross in England’s New Forest is notorious for being the UK’s most dangerous crossing for cyclists. The particular angle of the intersection gives rise to a phenomenon known as “constant bearing, decreasing range.” In essence a the angle will have the car just out of the cyclists’ visual...

43 Choices
When dealing with a group of children it can be a Herculean task to manage their energy and chaotic whims. Many years ago, I got some very valuable advice from a kindergarten teacher. When I asked her how they do it, she said: “Simple, constrain the choices.” Instead of starting the conversation...

42 Currency
This week, Lynne Twist’s comment about money really stopped me dead in my tracks: We totally forgot that we invented it. As more and more of our lives become financialised, it is hard to imagine a world beyond money. The price of everything is shoved into our faces in every direction. With NFT’s...

41 Learning
Walk past your expensive car (or bicycle) and scratch the side. When you return tomorrow the scratch is still there, as it will be in a year (unless you have someone fix it). Yet, scratch your arm, knee or leg and the process of healing immediately starts. The body responds to the new information...
