a song of resonance
how full can life be? SS#32
my friends, good fellows, and fragments of divinity,
its been too long since the Stew brought us back together!
welcome — i apologize for the absence. much has been added to my mix of life in the time since we met here and i’m sure the same is true of you.
life is as chaotic and resplendent as i’ve ever seen it. friends and family are uprooting and resettling across the world. ideas are blossoming. there’s a lot of energy moving around and it’s time to capitalize on it.
this is a big moment for us. i feel my own focus pivoting and the change is coming here too: from now on, stone stew is an infinite exploration into the question:
How full can life Be?
our experiences are so limited. i want to explore the full range — the depths and breadth of life in the 21st century. each person is walking a lifepath unique in history — we stand on the shoulders of giants at the bleeding edge of time’s unfolding.
none of us control the unfolding, but we can guide it.
we can observe the patterns of the recent past, and respond to it.
amongst the sea of confusion and distraction and costs of living, what’s our game plan? how do we keep moving, consistently, surely — towards a brighter future?
these are discussions we can have together, across nations and generations.
we are moving towards true harmony ~ and this journey can only be taken together.
i welcome and invite you, personally; and US ALL - to pour your souls into the Stew whenever you feel called — share your spirit and let it simmer. the place to share is free and open here.
let me be clear: your time is your own. if you’re just here to read and ponder, you have my undying gratitude. i hope you’ll share. but if you’re looking to grow as a person, as a writer, as a human soul in a fractured world — I hope you’ll join me. this is only the beginning.
What will you share?
stone stew is for the cream of your crop: the top 1% of your soulfelt experience > the energy which animates and elevates your consciousness to a higher wave and sparks resonance.
put a tad less romantically: what excites you today? what are you learning?
AND WHY? what’s the result when we share together?
we're talking about a living well of wisdom & true meaning, deepened by the splash of infinite small sharings from a million fractal beings, united by the spirit between us:
alçente ~ a calling, a touchstone, a song of resonance & harmony
personally, i’ve discovered a little recipe for resonance that’s quickly filling my life with meaning, vibrance, wonder, and solidarity at a pace I can hardly process.
to kick off our new collaborative brew, let me share the essence with you.
start with a soul-wide embrace of the Universe
you might intuitively know what this feels like. i’ll try to put it into words which most closely resemble my own experiences.
a soul-wide embrace of the Universe means fully accepting life’s unfolding as it happens around you, and looking for the gift in everything.
it means living with an open, calm mind; a singing heart, and the courage to show up authentically and honestly, each day.
this is a vulnerable way to be — it takes time and discomfort to find it for yourself.
this way is new to me — i feel i’ve only come into it since graduation and had two experiences meeting new communities — one at the Lakes of the Clouds hut on Mt. Washington, and one at NMH summer session.
each experience was DEEPLY enriching, with near-instant intimacy and soulbond connections. now, with Spannocchia (an organic farm in Tuscany, Italy) only a few days away, i will see what unfolds again.
my point is this:
its hard to truly grow by yourself. we need each other, all of our stories and lessons, our friendship and support, our different perspectives and diverse roots can shatter the vice of perceived inadequacy.
when you live with a soul-wide embrace of the universe, possibilities open up like a field of flowers in bloom. each interaction, each relationship around you is an invitation to share meaning, deepen roots, and forge a new future.
if i know anything, this equation will be different for each person, but as a shared frame, we can help each other discover and validate our truest becoming.
we can grow into resilient, resonant beings — sharing the brighest sparks of our soul and re-weaving the social fabric of reality itself.
this is the work i’m primarily concerned with — healing, mending, peacing back together a world of fragments that sliding towards further division.
Alçente is a way towards this end — a calling towards harmony.
our stories have the power to re-write this world.
let us tell them together.
love and gratitude for you :)
Love the new audio format!
