What colour is the universe?
What colour is the universe?
To answer this question, we need to zoom out - wayyyy out.
In 2002, astronomers from John Hopkins University set out to answer this question by taking a census of all the observable light in the universe to calculate the average colour.
The answer: Cosmic Latte, a beige-white that would look at home in your local hardware store paint sample cards:
At least, the universe is Cosmic Latte for now. Like everything, this changes over time:
One of the common aspects of both foresight and creative practice I love is shifting back and forth between zooming in and zooming out.
Not surprisingly, the start of the new year has me zooming out this week as I refine my direction and listen for what's changing.
As part of this nudge in direction, I'm now offering myself as a Learning Partner to support individuals and small teams leading change in complex environments.
Learning Partner
Leading change in complex environments is like crossing the river by feeling for stones.
Our paths are unpredictable, the environment around us shifts, and to make it safely to the other side we need to stay alert to what we are noticing.
As your Learning Partner, I offer space, concepts, and provocations to help you notice, process, and respond (rather than react) to what you learn and what is changing in real-time as you navigate the shifting landscape.

Until next time
