3 ingredients for a column:

1) your own values/priorities/aspirations

2) how you think the biggest forces, the world’s biggest fears/pulleys are shaping events

3) what you’ve learned about people and culture. How they react or don’t when the big forces impact them.

“Patience wasn’t just the absence of speed, it was space for reflection and thought. We are generating more information and knowledge today, but knowledge is only good if you can reflect on it.”

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less.” - Marie Curie

Will continue reading eventually, but I need time to simmer with some of the themes.
