I really appreciated listening to this conversation this morning. It follows a conversation last night that I had with a number of men where one of the questions posed was “how to keep your heart open in hell?”
I woke up thinking about that and this conversation helped provide imaginative grist for the mill. Thank you!
Yes, imagination has real-world consequences -- just as communication can and often does constitute action, indeed, constitutes our world. What is imagination if not a way to communicate with worlds that don't yet exist?
adrienne maree brown doesn't just talk about hope—she composts it, seeds it, and watches it sprout in places most of us have written off as barren. This session reminds me that imagination isn't an escape from reality, it's a blueprint for rebuilding it. When emergence becomes our teacher, control stops being the goal, and connection takes its rightful place at the center. This isn't self-help—it’s collective help. And it’s exactly the medicine this unraveling world needs.
Imagination,
inspired work may save us.
Shortchange ourselves, not.
