Wisdom is how you live.
This past year has been one of letting go, following sparks, facing fear, and listening for whispers. Along the way I’ve remembered faith as my compass — Grace, Presence, and Spark — and begun to see life not as poles in opposition, but as the thread in between that makes us whole. Mid-life, I’ve found, is not a crisis but a crossing.
Time is not abundant — it is fragile, fleeting, and holy. This reflection explores what it means to serve not out of convenience but out of urgency, recognizing that life itself is the gift and how we spend it is the offering back.
Hustlers have become role models, teaching exhaustion as ambition. Unless we choose presence over hustle, we risk passing down scarcity instead of care.

We like to believe we designed the world. But most of what we live is not invention — it’s instinct. And worse, unconscious inheritance. This post traces how our systems were built, when we forgot we built them, and what it takes to begin again.
Not the flame. Not the fire. Just the flint. A reflection on how AI doesn't spark change — we do. Through presence. Through grace. Through being.
