Transcribing Experiences
On fine days I sit with pen and paper,
with eyes closed and a moment of quiet,
breathing feelings and breathing life,
dissolving and conjuring within,
impulses, emotions and thought,
into Stillness, awaiting
the arising of an inner compulsion
heartbeats of passion,
objects of meaning,
threads of purpose,
that awakens me into the moment,
where the hand holds the pen,
and creation flows.
Synthesizing Connections
Worthy problems and a cup of tea go hand-in-hand. The harder the problem, the more I get obsessed to figure out “what’s the big deal” about it. The ordinary mind thinks of problems in linear fashion. The mathematical mind – in multi-fold dimensions and permutations. The intuitive mind, in abstractions.
The conventional way of solving problems is to see the problem as something external. We call this problem-solving. There is a defined problem, and there is a concerted act to address it. The bias of problem-solvers is that we, the problem-solvers are not part of the problem – often leads to incomplete perspective in formulating the solution.
Another approach is interrelationship-integration. Problems are viewed as broken, dysfunctional interrelationships. Solving them is an act of integrating them into a functioning whole.
Building Tools
My definition of a Tool is from the vantage point of the Market. Humans use humans. Sometimes they see people as instruments to fix problems. There’s no avoiding that.
Definition: A Tool is a class of product or service that solves an annoying problem.
Characteristics: A Tool is durable, reliable and brings relief to the User.
I build these all the time.
I am in fact, seen as a Tool to some (and I’m cool with that).
