A change in one element in a system changes the whole system.

Have been overwhelmed in the past few days with too many elements with which to contend. Happily distracted myself with other projects. Trying to create and intro video for the Audacious Year Fundraiser is challenging and daunting.  Waking up the other morning with so many wonderful ideas and possibilities and then how to choose among them?  How to structure and create a flow?

What i discovered is that i need to find ways of describing myself and my work to myself first. From there i might be more able to describe the projects and how they are related to the larger.

My current attempt looks something like this when types out.

First off it is a large arc, a gesture called

The Transformations System

Then comes

Chaos!

Chaos is not disorder; it is one's inability to perceive the order.

Remember to

K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple, Simple!

There is a difference between Simple and Easy.

Simple, as in relative simplicity, is the number of variables in a system that needs to be attended to at the same time.

Easy, as in relative ease, is the relationship between familiarity to a system and the systems internal ability to allow its inertia or momentum to process something through it.

As we work farther and deeper into this i share:

Complex and complicated

Complicated is the number of elements in a system and Complex is the number of relationships between the elements in a system.


Scratch.... scratch.... scratch..... your head or the creepy crawly on your skin!


We are challenged to 

Become comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Before we are deep in a singular rut:


We are encouraged to pay attention to:

Scale, scrutiny of detail and magnitude of magnification 

And then be prepared to acknowledge:

Perspective

Not just other people's but our internal points of perspective.

Holding space for all this is a trio of young women:

P-I-P

Patience-Insistence-Perseverance 

When they are actively engaged in the process and are working together more significant work happens.

This is just an attempt to describe a possibility of vision.

A friend i haven't connected with in a while and just "friend"ed on Facebook asked:

"But it sounds like you are more interested in creating a change in our social structure that would create a larger network for everyone to be able to care for their loved ones with greater ease... yes? or is your baking for a year a brainstorming feast extravaganza with no particular framework just an open palette for creativity to blossom and who knows what the end result will be. hmmm."


Another important element that needs to cellophane wrap the above is the concept of

both/and.

i am swimming in some rough seas at the moment. Sharing this is..... well so many things.  More later.

i am going to clean the kitchen floor and even move the stove out and get back there!

So many good distractions!
