"Stumbling Upon Ancestry"
From these ashes they will rise:
Institutions that we newly derive.
Institutions that we re-create glocally;
That is, institutions that we scale up fractally.
From the individual to the family;
From the family to the community:
We'll band back together synergistically,
And help each other regain our dignity, our integrity.
That is, we'll organize society like Mother Nature,
And we'll do good locally to do good globally.
From this platform entangled interactions will emerge;
Serendipitous interactions will be our spurs.
And we'll stumble upon organizational structures by thinkering.
That is, we'll stumble upon Ancestry.
NNT's envelope of serendipity.
Unexpectedly.
Spontaneously.
Unpredictably.
Finally.
To good health,
Brent
PS. I'm still working on extending G's rough-draft essay.

Ancestry begins and ends in me.
ReplyDeleteI am the product of a branching tree.
The terminal branch from many successions
of evolution and devolution, progressions and regressions.
From the first spark of life to my daughters and wife,
from the Earth ecosystem to my "microbe-cosm".
We never reach perfection, only strive to see
a world better suited for you and for me.
Utopia is an ideal unrealistic in scope,
but towards metopia I strive with excitement and hope.
Each n=1 trail blazes their own path
‘till we achieve an N=1.
The black swan’s fractal math!
