Yesterday in the SPACE

three inspiring articles from women

Jenny Stefanotti posted an article, Steward Leadership and Centering Care, with words that sound familiar, words I have read elsewhere. But they do not seem stolen. They reflect a spirit that is rising in more than one place.

“Shared vision for a more equitable, caring, and regenerative future.” We spent a significant amount of time choosing those words. Equitable and regenerative were obvious adjectives to me at the time. Care, less so. Rosie von Lila was insistent, and she was right. In retrospect, I’d argue that care is the most important adjective of the three. Just and regenerative naturally follow when we care for one another.

What would it look like if we lived in a society that centers care for one another?

At the Denizen retreat, the focus is on relationships.

Liv Boeree In Search of The Third Attractor - Allison Duettmann.

Here’s my recent Win-Win conversation with Foresight Institute's Allison Duettmann—she's one of those rare polymath futurist Moloch-slaying goddess types, and a leading thinker on the topic of global coordination and cultivating what she calls “Existential Hope”.

I have not yet watched this video and may not find the time. But the search for the third attractor seems very masculine to me. So I am interested in a discussion of this topic by two women and I love the phrase Moloch-slaying goddess types.

What if the third attractor is simply living in relationship and caring for one another?

Gabrielle Feather posted What I Am Telling My Kids at the End of the World. This feels so real and heartfelt. It seems to me that in this shrinking liminal time we should pay special attention to what mothers are telling their children.

You, my loves, were not born into a dying world. You were born at the turning of an age. You were born in the space between stories. And while that space can feel uncertain and sometimes frightening, it is also where possibility lives.
