The previous newsletter was "Growing capacity" and our last Sunday was our second IS Web Quarterly Convening.

Day after day, I'm still dwelling with the threads of the last few weeks — growing capacity, meeting the moment, change is coming, coordination, neurons connecting and firing and densifying. The soulful pull is there, longings and yearnings that don't yet fit in the margin of this page, calling me to step into the space created by stretching expansion, deploy the capacity, evolve the dance and dance a bigger dance. It feels like an accumulating pressure, like water behind a dam, patiently waiting for a wider spillway, ready to flow like "The enemy's gate is down" when the opening finally reveals itself.

That's my current sense-making of the energy in my chest. Last week's Quarterly Convening didn't release or relieve that energy, but I'm appreciating having friendships that join me in the tension and probe together what's just beyond the current horizon of our seeing.

If I were conventionally reasonable about this newsletter, I'd focus entirely on the beautiful new intentionalsociety.org design that we just launched! Even better, Shaun has launched the Intentional Society podcast and you can go hear Jason's story in the first episode! These both deserve their own newsletters, and they shall receive more attention soon, inshallah.

I trust the wandering for myself. I trust the mess that comes before a reorganizing into a higher order of complex coherence, a simplicity-after-complexity. May it come, may I welcome its fullness, may I meet it with vigorous life foce.

Cheers,
James
