Our Collective Wisdom

Alan-briskin (BK) Author and photographer Alan Briskin has long been one of my
very favorite visionaries, and I have had the pleasure of working with
him on three projects now – his personal website, the book site for the
seminal book he recently co-authored on The Power of Collective Wisdom
and Trap of Collective Folly, and now an interactive business site/blog
called the Power of Our Collective Wisdom. In this latest site, Alan
puts his brilliant thinking mind into a dialogue about collective
wisdom; seeing it, applying it, and talking with others about it.

Alan’s star, already bright, is rising – subscribe to his site and
mailing lists to keep track of his trajectory and watch for an
announcement of a series on applying collective wisdom that I’ll be
helping him produce in the coming months.

Welcome to the Beauty Dialogues!

The Beauty Dialogues is here to illuminate the beauty of this world – not just the beauty of form, but also the patterns of essential wholeness that go beyond the visible.

Wholeness dissolves the illusion that life and work are separate so sometimes I write about design and the language of online communications, but it’s always about what, to me, life looks like through a beauty-lens.

Why Beauty? Morning Thoughts …

Beauty is the essence of Life – it is the center of everything, the very core of existence.

In a time where facing the enormous horror of what we as humanity have perpetrated in our world can be soul-deadening and overwhelmingly bleak, seeing and being beauty has never been more important.

Beauty is the candle we hold up in darkness. Beauty is the gaze we turn on that which we love, the way we see that can transform our vision. What do you love? What do you find beautiful? That’s the key to knowing where to focus your attention.

Beauty, like Love, has the power to hold all that is not itself without being changed. Today, when many of us feel so disconnected – from each other, from nature, from a life where what is really important has priority – Beauty is a way back to center.

May you Walk in Beauty – now and always.
