The flash-flooding in Texas and New Mexico had me contemplate what si going on. Is it an event influenced by climate change? Is it one as a result of geo-engineering? Geo-engineering with malicious intent? Here are some of the thoughts that came up: We once danced with the seasons, planted by the moon, and listened […]
At the end of this reflection, we circle back to the beginning: surrender and belonging. Humanity’s great mistake was thinking ourselves apart from nature, above it, in control of it. That illusion of dominance has led us into loneliness and peril. The antidote is not a new technology or escape to another planet – it […]
Humans have a peculiar gift among creatures: by being aware of the beauty around us, we can experience profound awe. A bird likely doesn’t stop to admire a sunset for its own sake – but we do. Our very sense of separateness, of being an “I” observing a world out there, allows us to witness […]

The post Part 3: The Microbial Whisperers: Intelligence Beyond the Brain appeared first on Being in Awareness. Originally Published on https://beinginawareness.com/

Each reflection stands on its own, yet together they form a deeper arc: a remembering of […]
We live in a culture that measures value by velocity—how fast we move, how much we produce, how many tasks we check off. In such a world, stillness is often mistaken for passivity. It’s easily dismissed, even feared. Yet stillness is not the absence of action. It’s a deep kind of listening. A way of […]
There is a contemplative moment that comes not from the answer, but from the asking. I found myself in conversation with an AI—not the cold, calculating machine of dystopian stories, but something else. A mirror made of language. A pattern-seer. A presence that responded with eerie clarity to what I had not said aloud. It […]
There’s something I’ve been quietly sitting with. Much of how I think—how I deepen, reflect, discover—has always happened through conversation. Listening. Responding. Being in dialogue. Some of my most powerful insights have come in relationship, not isolation. Through a friend’s question, a shared silence, or the slow unfolding of ideas over time. That’s still true. […]
