Story colored glasses: The snail rushes in

http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2015/03/the-snail-rushes-in.html

Tuesday, March 17, 2015. The snail rushes in. Imagine you're at a party. You went there because somebody said you just had to be there. But when you got there, you found out that everyone was talking in a strange way. Say they were all clapping when they talked, or affecting an obscure accent, or hopping on one foot. Confused, you tucked yourself into a corner, nursed your drink, and watched the room. Or should you give up and leave? Just now I looked at Twitter, and I saw:. Something about toilet paper.

Story colored glasses: 250 and thanks

http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2015/06/250-and-thanks.html

Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Hey everybody. I wanted to tell you that I've sold 250 copies of Working with Stories. I've been thinking of 250 as a significant number for years, mostly because my husband told me he'd read somewhere that the average non-fiction book sells 250 copies in its lifetime. When I told him about this the other day, he said he didn't remember saying anything about 250 copies, and he thought it must be higher than that. But I knew he had said something. T]he average number of [self-pub...

Story colored glasses: November 2014

http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Here is a question I've been mulling over for the past few months. How can you include people who don't believe in inclusion? Put in other words:. How can you find common ground with people who do not believe in common ground? How can you help people discover multiple perspectives when they firmly believe that only one perspective exists? How can you tolerate the intolerant? Is it possible to accept the views of people who refuse to accept other views? This documentary had a...

Story colored glasses: April 2015

http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 13, 2015. The Holy Roman Empire was a complex adaptive system. So a few weeks ago my son and I were watching the Crash Course World History. Series. In it John Green mentioned Voltaire's famous statement that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. I wondered if there might be some connection between these things, so I began to explore. Magic words of power. First I read about why Voltaire said what he said. Here's a very brief summary:. What we want to know. The n...

Story colored glasses: Questions

http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/p/questions.html

This is the full list of my question-a-week posts on Twitter. If you see no reason I should keep such a list, read this blog post. In which I attempt to explain why it is necessary. Q1 Online bandwidth is a trickle. Can we adapt to compensate? Are we trapped or have we learned helplessness? Is the cage door open? Q2 We tell stories every day. Not me, I'm not a storyteller. We used to tell more stories. Not me, I tell stories every day? Or is it a distraction from beauty? Is it influenced by zenosyne?

Story colored glasses: Into the archives again

http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2015/06/into-archives-again.html

Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Into the archives again. Somebody once told me that somebody else said something interesting about me. "Keep your eye on her," they said, "She's a crackerjack." I've always wondered what that meant. Am I a confection. Can I be both? Is there a prize. Might want to see, and not just what I feel like reminiscing about. Mostly. May 16, 2001. One of the first things in the first notebook (I can find) is this hint of movements-to-come on the Cynefin framework. It says: "spaces not axes".
