Footprints in the Wind^sm # 2110

Conversation runs through sport, it runs through literature. It runs through silence and through mystery and through creativity. It is all relations. It is perhaps the essence of life. So how do we do it well? How do we do it better? It, like life, is not a tool for some purpose or goal. It is the context, larger context of life.

Please pass it on.

We know not the singular aim of conversation, rather we try out admirable purposes, such as emerging consciousness and interplaying with our environs.

Freire has problem-posing education; so too we might propose problem-posing conversation—something to work on as co-equals, not something one sells to another. What are we working on? Our together, our betweens. What, who, and how will we be together? The action is in all directions, not top down, seen necessarily and initially as horizontal given our relationship with one another, but in reality 360 degrees, since “we” includes the whole of our context.

branching tangling roots
paths that nourish futures

Let us start a national small conversation about humans in complexity.

What will continue (because something will)?
