As We Are

Contemplating the Impossibility of Impossibility This year took a very unexpected plot that made a lot of us do more soul searching than we would if things were different. Most phone calls and random conversations would include "as long as you are well and in good health, we are happy" - some level of genuine …

For the Kenyan “Middle Class”

How are you so numb? Aren't you capable of pain? Don't you have emotions? Do you not feel? What will it take to scare you? Must it be your mother who is raped after giving birth? Or your little brother shot dead by the police for standing on the balcony past curfew? Do you have …

Isn’t All Art Spiritual?

Samsara by Kimani Sam Kariuki I think of the artist as a portal. A portal that connects this world to the dimensions of the gods. The artist receives a message and channels it into music, poetry, paintings, writings, dance, sculptures, architecture, and even a mix-mesh of it all. We each interpret art in our own …

Why we do what we do

https://www.freepik.com/mindandi I went to Pangani Girls' High School between 2007 - 2010 when the late Mrs. Pacifica Nyambongi was the principal. She only taught one class through that period, Emerald, where she was my math teacher. Mrs. Nyambongi was particular about how she introduced us to mathematical formulas. She would dissect even the simplest of …

Of the Dreams we Chase…

We all grow up having a checklist of dreams to tick out. From when we are kids, what we should want in life is repeatedly ingrained in us until there is no line between what we want and what we are taught to want.  These dreams are often tagged with happiness as the end outcome. …

Failure is a construct, set yourself free!

Failure is not real, and none of it should have a hold on you. I came to this conclusion sometime last year when I hibernated a little to raise my little one. He joined our lives in April 2018, and to say the least, witnessing this little boy develop from a tiny lump of helpless …

You need more KINDNESS, from Yourself

Photo by Randalyn Hill on Unsplash The last time that i actively wrote anything for public consumption, was in early 2017. That is more than 2 and a half years  now. I could provide excuses on a lot of hurdles that could have held me back, but the biggest of all, has been self-criticism. As soon as i …

A Powerful Law Of Nature

Hey fam. 🙂 It's been a minute. I know you know how great it is to have you stop by. Many thanks ❤ . The title for this post would have been "Newton's Third Law of  Motion" or "Laws of Physics" but i feared that some of you guys would run away from it simply …

Paradigms are Made for Shifting

This is really something 🙂

Creative by Nature

“A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels…” ~Albert Einstein, N.Y. Times, 1946

Over the course of the last hundred years, Western scientists have given us a deeper view of the Universe, of Life & Nature as a creative and unified self-organizing process.Unfortunately, most modern societies are still operating with outdated ideas and assumptions, that do not reflect this new paradigm.

Albert Einstein understood this, as have many others. In order to survive as a species, it is essential that we shift paradigms, developing ways of thinking (and behaving) that are more aligned with how human life and Nature’s systems actually work.

Every “thing” that exists in our Universe is a dynamic complex system, interdependently connected to other systems, constantly moving and changing, less a static “thing” than an evolving and transforming creative process.

We see galaxies and hurricanes spinning, continents moving…
