#Bluesky Tip: Be vulnerable occasionally. Sharing a failure or a learning moment builds trust and makes you relatable. Perfection is boring.

The Accidental Phone Call

She misdialed a number, she said,
but not really.

So we reminisced about old times,
the good work we did together,
where our coworkers are,
what our children are doing.

Organizations end,
but relationships don’t have to.
I can do better at staying connected.

I can be more intentional,
while at the same time
knowing that
on this journey
there are no
accidental phone calls.

The deepest human need may not be success or autonomy.
It may be belonging—to a community, a purpose, and commitments larger than ourselves.

🤦‍♂️ Oh great, another tech billionaire who thinks buying a sports team will fill the void of human connection. 💸 Apparently, $9.6B is the going rate for a new hobby when collecting stamps just won't cut it anymore. 🏈

"I let go of worrying about meditation. I just existed and watched."

I meditated with my eyes wide open at a coffee shop overlooking the market. Locals curious about me, I think simply because I sat still for hours. Now in a tuk-tuk I feel a rapport with this city. Something has shifted. This is deeper than any how-to meditation book.

Highway Adoption

The truck ahead of me has a bumper sticker that says “Stay in your lane.”

At first blush – good advice. But further introspection reveals a flaw. In truth, the lane I am currently in is not my own. Nor is the lane you are in yours either. None of us can lay claim to these streets. At least not individually. Contrary to popular belief, we are a collective.

Perhaps a truer bumper sticker is the one that says “Share the road.”

Namely, the entire road is for all. The lane I am in is not MY lane. It is available to anyone else who needs it. You are welcome in the lane I am in, and I hope that I am welcome in the one you are in.

Alas, too often I forget this truth. I am too quick with my tongue or horn and too slow with a kind gesture.

So come on over.

You are welcome here in this lane as well.

No schedule. No perceived deadline for my ETA. No stress or emotional attachment to the human construct of time. No amount of hubris or disdain.

Nothing is worth the destruction of a hospitable spirit while one is driving.

Vielleicht ist eines der größten Geschenke, die wir einem Menschen machen können, nicht ein guter Rat. Sondern ein Ort zu sein, an dem er nicht performen muss. An dem er loslassen kann. An dem er für einen Moment einfach nur sein und Frieden finden darf.

"Something more behind these faded street food signs will reveal itself over time. That is the magic of cross-cultural human connection without expectations."

I get emotional and teary for all the street food vendors in Southeast Asia. The hours they put in, the hospitality they provide with such limited resources. Let go of expectations. Be humble. Be open. Be patient.
