Great piece! I appreciate the hard look here at the resilience word (cousin to sustainability, also in need of a ferocious take down). This part, hmmm..."That civilization and its mechanisms are now collapsing. When they are gone, our work is not to be resilient and recover, but to accept and be transformed." From my vantage point, when they are gone, we are all gone. So maybe what you are meaning with "accept and be transformed" is "die and move on" as our work? Thanks for the exploration, David!
I’ve recently been noodling on the connection between resilience and acceptance, since its core to the title of our free 9-week course. (Shameless plug. Sorry.) But, seriously, your insights are inspiring and grounding! For me, we are more resilient precisely when we learn to “accept the things we cannot change.” 🙏🔥
I'm thrilled to see your expansion into writing like this, David. Quality stuff, thanks for sharing it. Lots here to contemplate.
This was a very pleasant surprise in my inbox. Super happy to have my account set up and be subscribed, thanks for the amazing content.
