Introducing the process philosophy of A N Whitehead
The first step to a meaningful life is to value your experience
you are the only you there has ever been,
or will ever be
and you are here,
right now in this moment
‘at the still point of the turning world’
Our lives are meaningful when we engage with a world in development
in development every moment is meaningful
moments are both unique and connected
every moment is an invitation
to participate in the unfolding of the universe
Meaning requires experience
the tree that falls in the forest becomes meaningful when it is experienced
we are meaning makers
we make meaning by paying attention to the moments we experience
meaning motivates and inspires
~
meaning makes us feel alive
we experience meaning in moments
of creativity, collaboration and connection
meaning is creative
meaning requires movement
‘that which ceases moving, ceases living’
the things that matter most to us are not certain
they are in development
it is what we don’t know that fascinates us
making meaning is a collaborative activity
we matter to each other
when a moment is shared its meaning is multiplied
every moment has meaning for ourselves, other people and the wider world
to be in development is to value these connections
meaning requires connection
we are never alone
in development every moment contributes to our long-term development
as individuals, groups and communities
in development every moment matters
we are all in development
let’s share our moments
Introducing the process philosophy of A N Whitehead
The turning of the year reminds us that each moment – each step on the journey of life – is both an ending and a beginning and we cannot begin anything without letting go.
To be in development is to engage in a world in which every moment matters
Remember a walk in development In the Autumn stillness a blackbird’s whistle echoes childhood voices and the crunch of broken glass while the steam from
When we walk in development the moments we experience inform our long-term development
How can we foster interaction?
All life has its own pace
Let’s take our time
