Preview a draft paper I’m working on that discuses the link between the mystical Golden Ratio to Dynamic Systems and Chaos.

This season and time of year is one that many traditions see as a natural moment for reflection, reckoning, and renewal, I’ve been thinking about how different paths approach this period. In Judaism, for example, the High Holy Days invite a practice of teshuva, returning to our truest selves through introspection, repair, and realignment. In Taoist and ancient Chinese traditions, autumn is connected with the Metal element and the Lung and Large Intestine meridians, a time to release what no longer serves us, honor grief, and cultivate clarity. In some Indigenous teachings, this is a season to slow down, listen inward, and prepare the inner soil for the next cycle of growth. I’d love to hear from this community: how do your traditions or personal practices invite you to pause, reflect, and reset at this point in the year? Anything that you’ve been working on that might inspire others? And what do you think this season is asking of us collectively right now? @Brian Woody’s recent post about Sukkot reminded me about this!

Friends, Neighbors, Community Minded Folks, I want to invite you to a wonderful event in Tahoe Vista on October 12th. Come support the Tahoe Jewish Community (me and my organizations), enjoy wonderful brisket, and some brew….and learn a bit about Sukkot - a Jewish Harvest Festival. It is a super low-key, just hang around event. It is an important moment in our Jewish year as well as a great community fundraiser for us!! Thanks for considering!

Hey guys! So great to meet you all. I consider myself to be a student of life and a lover of learning. Wanted to share a link to one of my blogs in case anyone is interested around the essence of time, the interconnected web and quantum theory. Would love to chat with others around this topic or read your work too! https://open.substack.com/pub/suraiya7/p/we-experience-time-like-a-dna-strand?r=brwh9&utm_medium=ios

Just dropped. Went all in. I hope that maybe it will help someone. Not sure how I’m feeling about it. But it’s out there now. Feels good being vulnerable, but definitely exposed. I’ll write more later once I wrap my head around it. Showed my parents and they said they were proud of me and they love me, and for me that’s enough.
