I took notes on this one. I like the Johari Window as a tool to shine a light on the things that we don't know that others know. How do we bring greater certainty there? By asking questions instead of making declarations.
I love this, Seth. Thanks for your thoughts here. I hadn't come across the Johari window but I might have to do some digging and further reading on it.
Too right. I agree with a focus on questions and whys and what abouts and what ifs. They are a way to open up everything, from conversations to travel to peaceful coexistence. But I'll just say no, for now, for jumpsuits for me. I'm with you on the chocolate fruit opinion. Thanks for the entertaining read.
Love this, Sabrina. Nicely said, and thank you for the kind words as well. No worries regarding the jumpsuit either. Keep me posted if anything changes on that front.
I neglected to read your post when it hit my inbox earlier in the week. I really needed the message today. Thanks for your perspective. I’m printing it out and posting it in my office. Grateful.
As I learn more, my opinions and thoughts are updated all the time. Not good to be smugly certain about almost anything these days, in my opinion... Oooops, lol.
Great post, great drawings, I like your quirky take always!
Thanks so much for your comment, Sue! And I really appreciate the kind words. I'm glad to hear you feel the same in regards to changing of opinions and thoughts. And nothing wrong with a sneaky opinion on smugness I say!
I like certainty, but in a different way. For me I like to know, within the boundaries of the context what being fully invested in the question, such as how would it feel to read a book, or how would it feel to taste all the fruit that I can get from Costa Rica.
Certainly is for me the end of the road, and I don't shank people on the way, I try different things until I know or experience it for myself.
In that way certainty for me is the journey towards knowing, pondering the question, and experimenting with ideas and feelings along the way.
"I wonder what would happen if we stopped shanking each other?" leads me to "I wonder what we do with the shanker?"
This made me think of all the certainty whirling around right now, knives out. While there is an element of immense privilege in being able to wonder (it's hard to wonder when you are on the other end of the shanking), I do think we could take a moment and ask some questions to make space to respond vs. react. If we shank the shanker, what are we? Thanks Michael.
Certainly wise. 👍😂
Incidentally, I get the reoccurring Montaigne visual, but i still wanted your take on how a sulking strawberry would look. One day, I hope!
Hehe thanks, mate. And apologies for the lack of strawberry visuals. Maybe I'll have to give sulking strawberry it's own dedicated post 🤔

Agree 100%

I love that, Lucas. Thanks for the thoughtful comment, and thanks for reading. I appreciate it.

Thanks for such a thoughtful response, Van. Great question and points raised, and thank you for reading.
