       December 1. Start of #AdventOfSystemSeeing 2023 edition.Like last year, there will be daily prompts on the AdventOfSystemSeeing hashtag (making it easy to follow or mute). The idea is to do daily (15-20 minute) exercises in a System Journal (notebook). These could be a “make your own advent(ure)” sort of thing, or you can follow the prompts on the hashtag each day.

       If you’re going to be following the prompts, you’re in “just trust me” territory. And we all know that whenever someone says that, it is a terrible idea! Well, it’s a matter of extending some goodwill on credit to me, and giving it a go. Sooo, first up.

       “Before you disturb the system in any way, watch how it behaves. If it’s a piece of music or a whitewater rapid or a fluctuation in a commodity price, study its beat. If it’s a social system, watch it work. Learn its history. Ask people who’ve been around a long time to tell you”— Donella Meadowshttps://donellameadows.org/archives/dancing-with-systems/Journaling is, among other things, a way of observing — of directing our noticing, listening-seeing.Cultivating Response-ability.
