The future is embedded in the present" to deeply see the present we need to embrace paradox, hold opposites and accept complexities with infinite causes and consequences.


We were nature centered, then human-centered, and now we become planet-centered.
Being able to recognize past mindsets can alert us to current change, teach us to enlarge our lens and warn us not to mistake our mental map for full reality.
