Search for 'beauty'

As we ponder the words of Buckminster Fuller

As we write in the wiki, we appreciate its emerging potential as a tool for the Creative Imagination.

The moment of emergence is known and felt. An emergence from the formless into form, a form, if rendered beautiful, will beget beauty in a greater unfolding.

At our recent Innovate meeting, I shared how I have begun to use "[under construction]" at the top of wiki posts that I have begun but are incomplete.

We are pondering the aether love that we sense enables Natural Order to emerge. We sense that natural order, from which autopoietic systems develop, exists within an aether – a quintessence – that allows beauty to manifest through an intentional and ongoing Wrapping with Love.

>In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".

We experience emergence – that moment we cry out with an "aha" or "eureka" – Eureka Moments.

Joy is the feeling that rushes over us when we have Eureka Moments.

My son and his partner recently bought a home surrounded by a beautiful garden. Many elements of this home are wonderful, but as you spend time in it, you begin to recognize a deep confusion. Almost 100 years old, the house has been rebuilt and updated multiple times, each time introducing a new style. The house struggles to know itself.

We seek the luminous self of the Three Selves sensing that for this reveal, one must find truth, feel joy, and create beauty.

According to Brené Brown's research, Joy is more most vulnerable emotion:

We are beginning to explore the nature of fractal attractors, a type of attractor referred to as a strange attractors . We sense something important here.

In a paper by Takashi Iba, he explores an essential part of the process he uses in the development of new pattern languages – a practice that is called "clustering". This practice was developed by Jiro Kawakita, a Japanese anthropologist and is the basis of what is often called 'affinity mapping'.

We begin to wonder about how it is that we are creative. We sense that creativity is not bounded by our individuality but, instead, may be a symphonic in nature.

According to the Encyclopedia Britanica:

We explore the meaning here for all students, where we might invite them into learning process that honors their culture. By honoring their stories, their culture, we are honoring them.

With Smalltalk, Alan Kay did not commission Dan, Adele, and the rest of their team to develop a "better old thing", but to create "a new Kuhnian paradigm in the same spirit as the invention of the printing press" in the hope that they could "bring new ways of thinking to a faltering civilization that desperately needed" it.

One afternoon, key members of the Innovate Dayton movement came together for a panel discussion to share the Innovate story with other educators.

We sense important inherent meaning in _natural order_, one that might allow greater understanding to unfold.

I was reminded when reading one of Takashi's papers recently of Christopher Alexander's focus on the importance of "wholeness" and "quality" when creating space imbued with vitality.

Yesterday several key members of the Innovate movement came together for a panel discussion at the Clackamas ESD to share the Innovate story with educators.

There are those who believe that intelligence can be measured, allowing us to compare and rank each other's capacity for thinking and creating. This belief has a relatively short history, reaching back only 150 years, back to Sir Francis Galton who used newly developed statistical tools to measure the potential for Creative Genius.

As I said, this has been a deeply personal journey for me. I am not sure why I embarked on it, except that I had to. There was a truth I needed to discover. A truth for me. A truth, perhaps, for others.

As I said, this has been a deeply personal journey for me. I am really not sure why I was called to embark on it, but I knew that I had to. There was a truth I needed to discover. A truth for me. A truth, perhaps, for others.

Here is a journal, started in the spring of 2019, where I am exploring different ideas that have yet to find their place within a tapestry of patterns. They are concepts that I am beginning to explore – incomplete and emerging.
