“A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation. Humans are not the culmination of this trajectory but an intermediary, smack in the middle between the born and the made... The arc of complexity and open-ended creation in the last four billion years is nothing compared to what lies ahead.” YearsHumansMadeSelfTogetherLastsLyingBornFourGenerationsMiddleCreationBillionsTiesComplexityCosmosThreadArcsSmackTrajectoryCulminationTechnoBios Author:Kevin Kelly

“When I pray the Lord's Prayer, I begin with the first word, "Our. . ." (see Matthew 6:9) and I stop and ask myself, "Who do I include in this Our?" I remind myself that the story of God is bigger than my personal story, bigger than the story of my religion, bigger than the story of all humanity, and bigger than the story of all creation. In the kingdom of God, these four stories are all really my stories - all at the same time - woven together, giving meaning and life to each other.” GivingFirstsStoriesTogetherHumanityAsksPrayerLordFourCreationPrayingBiggerKingdomsKingdom Of GodI PrayWovenMatthewPersonal Stories Author:Samir Selmanovic
