One of the unforeseen (at least by me) ripples from the pandemic has been the dissolution of distance. Dia and I found resonance in our points of view about leadership and learning online, and we've been talking ever since, though we've never met ftf. Dia re-introduced me to wabi-sabi, which I remember from my college days - the idea of transience and imperfection, especially in art. We certainly are living in a time of transience and imperfection, and Dia focuses on moving beyond wishful thinking - harvesting the current reality.
