The 21st: Appearances

I’m not going to sugar coat it. It has been hard to find my way to this post. These days the tenor of my experience is acute frustration and big-time fear. The coliseum of digital media in all its forms: headlines, reels, stories, posts, online newsletters is relentlessly fast and hard-hitting. I don’t know about you but it leaves me unproductively churning.

Call it ‘colonialism’ or call it a ‘revolution’ and we our brains go on automatic. All slogans are handy for plug and play mode. Slogans pair well with media. Slogans are a wonderful tool to keep us focused and on a path.

I named this website Current Seeing because of my understanding of how we see. What we see is determined by a near-invisible filter, call it a current, it is the lens and light itself bending to our mind and its affinity. What we see conforms to snippets of what we ‘know’ –some call it ‘confirmation bias.’ We see makes sense to us because our minds fill in actual missing gaps.

All we do is create. We don’t know any other way.

I admit that I’m addicted to this media. To be in the zone of beauty I have to see both the ugly and the pretty. It’s the depth of that discernment that has the impact. To be in the zone of problem solving, you have to see the problem then you can see promising solutions.
