WHAT WE’RE WORKING THROUGH
Jonathan Fetter-Vorm, Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb
“In these fractions of a second, the atomic light was still pure. It was not yet a bomb. It was not yet a symbol of apocalypse. It was not yet a part of our world. In these fractions of a second, the atomic light was still as timeless and indifferent as the universe itself. What you are making is not a weapon; it is something completely new. What you are making is a....a new situation.”
Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy
“We embody. We learn. We release the idea of failure, because it’s all data. But first we imagine. We are in an imagination battle.”
“Science fiction is simply a way to practice the future together.”
“The easier ‘being wrong’ is for you (the faster you can release your viewpoint), the quicker you can adapt to changing circumstances. Adapting allows you to know and name current needs and capacity, to be in relationship in real time, as opposed to any cycle of wishing and/or resenting what others do or don’t give you….Just at least consider that the place where you are wrong might be the most fertile ground for connecting with and receiving others.”
