We are all on a path of change and emergence together.
Along the way, we choose our teachers, our models, our companions—and even our nemeses—for all kinds of reasons. Something in them catches our attention. Challenges us. Opens a door. Helps us see something we couldn't quite see before.
I've had many of these people in my life.
And over the years, I've had the privilege of being one of those people for others.
I'm older now. I've traveled a lot of miles, learned a few things, changed my mind more than once, and become much more interested in depth than breadth.
I'm selective about how I spend my time and who I work with. I want real conversation. Curiosity. Intelligence. Humor. Connection. I want to spend time with people who are awake to their own lives and know there is still more to discover, create, change, or become.
I think of them as bright lights.
And there are so many of you.
I don't want to fix those lights. I want to help them shine more brightly—to notice what may be getting in the way, bring something important into form, see from another angle, or sometimes simply have the right conversation at the right time.
That's the work I love now.
I do it simply and selectively: in one-to-one ChangeWork sessions, in longer creative partnerships, and in small gatherings and personal immersions here at Still Mountain.
And sometimes I just make things—stories, journeys, experiments, letters—and put them out into the world to see who finds them.
If something here catches your attention, follow it.
It may be here for a reason.
