Written Feb 1 2019 Is there space in the keyboard strokes for the pink of life? Assembling letters into words into images that reach into feelings, –inviting memories, things once known, regrets, and touching the purple bruises of this moment. Is there a chance now to say what we have known and previously tried not to voice? People will demand clarity, accessibility, direct-ness. They will tut-tut and brush off the brushstrokes that do not have the ring of sterility and know-how. I apologize. I do not mean to be incomprehensible. I am not itching for cleverness, or decorative prose. It

The work of the coming decades is not the work of manufacturing, of software development, or of retail seduction, it is the work of caring. Caring for each other and the biosphere. In that care there is the hope of finding new ways of making sense of our own vitality. The ‘my’ in my health is not mine; rather it is a consequence of my microbiome, my family, my community, and the biosphere being cared for. The work ahead is not clear or clean. It requires intense integrity, patience in ambiguity, fierce dedication, raw vulnerability, bleeding humility, and the poetry

By Nora Bateson 2018 *This is a small piece that was written for the document presented for the General Assembly 2019 Global Risk Assessment. The problems the world is facing now, including ecological damage, natural disasters, poverty, species loss, political upheaval, refugee trauma, and even health epidemics, can all be described as complex, that is, they are born of circumstances that are multi-causal and non-linear. This complexity vexes the traditional problem-solving model of separating the problems into singularly defined parts and solving for the symptoms. The very nature of complexity undermines the familiar mandate to define goals and strategies to

“If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room would you trust it?” -Kendrick Lamar The revolution, the evolution is not going to be found in conference centers or seminars in 5 star hotels. It won’t be definable in righteousness or sanctimony. The resonances will be and are where the pain has been–where there was no choice but to become unbreakable. Where the scars are generations deep and sculpt into raw, sassy, funny, sexy, harsh, confusing. Laser sharp intelligent literacy of metaphors; the messages wont be sterilized in direct instructional language. The (r)evolution is not a Lego

Slicing open the screen, Possibility drenches in colors sluice through the gap A bubble of my own making, and instead of climbing through I mend the portal, And I am again contained Safely steeping in this familiar trap Here reason is tethered to abstractions. While life plays on the other side My skin too keeps bones from sight. And it is so easy to forget everything alive. -n.bateson 2018
