“The urge to form partnerships to link up in collaborative arrangements is perhaps the oldest, strongest, and most fundamental force in nature.
There are no solitary free living creatures.
Every form of life is dependent on other forms.”
— Lewis Thomas
We’re just sitting with that for a few more moments. :-)
There’s a feeling state that goes with it… the greater collective body of which each one of us is also part.
The more you sense for it, the more you come to recognize it.
Megan Elizabeth read this quote aloud into the included short audio clip in order to share it as part of a multi-group process in our private Intuitive Network spaces on Telegram Messenger.
We’ve been discussing in-depth how we can best support fruitful collaboration… in circumstances where the people around us may be at significant odds with one another.
Adam Kahane included this quote from Lewis Thomas at the beginning of Adam’s great book, Collaborating With The Enemy: How to Work with People You Don’t Agree With Or Like Or Trust. The foreword to the book was written by Peter Block.
The conversations surrounding Lewis Thomas’s resonant words and our most pressing related intersections have been nutrient-packed, generative, and worth (more than) their weight in gold.
Stumbling across Lewis Thomas in Adam Kahane’s book has been a great highlight to our broader process.
