​Life is what it is about. I want no truck with death.
– Pablo Neruda
Life has a way of rolling, not unlike a 'murmuration,' something starlings and
​other birds do.
A wonderful example of emergent, dynamic complexity unexplained by inorganic or linear logic, ​only by life.

Creating life together
by Gary Gunderson
It can all fall apart, this democracy thing. It’s not like gravity that makes rocks fall, even if youdon’t believe in it. Democracy only lives in the mind and spirit and evaporates when we forget it. .....

by Charmian Love and Rachel Sinha
     
About capturing the energy to bring together people who don’t normally talk to one another to design a new financial system ... seeking unusual solutions  that acknowledge the complex interconnected issues that make a failing system so hard to transform.
