This is both brilliantly observant and insightful. I’ve read and reread it. Every time it’s just as good. Maybe better. Thanks for being authentically Asacker.
Well said, Asacker. I find resonance when I'm alone on the mountain, wandering through the ancient Junipers and Bristlecones. To get there requires great awareness of your surroundings. In some cases, life or death decisions (which rock to grab, which place to put your foot so you don't slip down the steep cliff). And it requires true "attunement," every move requires presence.
Like the pairing of authenticity with resonance, authenticity does not exist in isolation. Resonance implies relationality, and there is no resonance without relationality. We exist in participation. You have already written about this earlier. Therefore, the pairing with the quote "To thine own self be true" is a bit jarring to me. Can truth be validated until it moves others?

Thank you, Dan.
Authentically Polonius, not Shakespeare.
And sadly, Laertes didn’t take his advice.
The rest is silence.

Beautifully said, Michael. Thank you.

The “true” self is relational. Everything else is an illusion.
