I always appreciate the way you think, Eric. And the care you bring to these reflections.
That idea of relationship as attitude definitely resonates. It speaks to something subtle but powerful: that how we hold something determines how we experience it. And often, how it meets us in return. Your students are wise.
There’s also a lot of wisdom in what you shared about Native and Buddhist traditions too. The had it figured out didn't they? That sense of interconnectedness has always felt more true than abstract to me, especially when I'm close to the land, close to silence. It’s a remembering, more than a concept.
And yes, I was quietly pointing to our evolving relationship with technology—how much of it will reflect what we project onto it. Like you said, history hasn’t always shown us at our best when confronted with the unfamiliar. But maybe this time, we'll meet it differently.
Thank you for being here, and for taking the time to engage so thoughtfully. It means a lot 🤘
