The deep relationships born in Tracking Wonder breakouts continue to surprise me and flourish. One of those connection sessions that stemmed from a “I’m checking on you” is scheduled for next week - this artist makes me feel like I am part of her peaceful landscapes, a reflection of a mycelial connection. Thank you, Jeffrey.

Hey, Jeffery, this is awesome. I was considering reaching out to my mentors this morning so they can help me frame some inquiries at U + U, so this illustration is quite apt.

Also, my wife is a big fan of the micellar network--introduced me to it a couple of years ago and it is just fascinating stuff WRT systems theory and how networks work plus organizational theory and how differing skillsets contribute to survival.

Keep doing this!

Hey, Jay! I'm glad the timing was right. Oh, yeah - I'd love to hear more wondering about systems theory, networks, teams, org theory and strategy! "How differing skillsets contribute to survival" > yes!

Thanks for the iteration and wondering back.

(And thanks to Beth!)

This is great! I'm one that is sometimes overwhelmed by too many words and sentences and thoughts in too many emails. This was a nice way to not have to read!

Ironically (or not) I was struck yesterday by two similar "wonders". I was watching two trees reach out to one another and I was curious about what communication happens when they touch.

And a mockingbird was exploring the gutter on a nearby roof. I wondered if, in it's soul, it knows there are many like it across the country, and do they all communicate in the same language, though separated by distance and geography.

Both of these were nice breaks from the computer screen that can distract me often.

Thank you for the video break! Please send more!

Emil~ Your wonders are so serendipitous as you need nature's geniuses. That canopy communication is wondrous, isn't it? I often wonder what signals are flying overhead when I'm in the woods.

And the mockingbird! I didn't know the flew up here in New York, but we've heard one just "going at it" here recently. A client of mine regards mockingbirds as 'neurodivergent' birds. I love that.

Now you have me wondering about this NY mockingbird and the Texas mockingbird.

Thanks for wondering back.
