Acknowledgement

When we acknowledge a person in our lives, it is a gesture beyond simply thanking her for something she has done. It is an honoring of who she was- and is- being. It comes because you are so moved by that.

Systems Design

Ironically what was called “Chaos Theory” 30 years ago is now better understood within the domain of “Systems Thinking,” since what could—in the late 20th Century–only be construed as not fitting into unchanging, mechanical models of systems (whether in physics or the life- and social sciences). “Systems Thinking” has since arisen as the general “school” of those studying the emergent and self-created qualities of structures whose significance is best seen in context or relationship with their surroundings, rather than as objectively fixed.
