Developing the ecosystem of wisdom, community-led governance and the stewardship of care.
A few weeks ago at HATCH 20, the above talk closed out an evening and left the whole audience in wonderful awe.
In a little over twenty minutes, this gentle offering was fierce in revealing the compassionate truth of where humanity finds itself, and invited us all to be buoyed in the potential of embracing the cooperative choice of prioritising community and connection through feeling / sensing.
For me, what was revealed is what we innately know: living is giving, and love is the only path.
After Forrest finished speaking, it felt like the whole room sighed, together.
Through the welcome tears I wrote the following on one of my mundane postcards and gifted it quickly to Forrest later on in proceedings:
“For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.”
