Amparo Garcia-Crow on (#SEX +) #DEATH - last Friday's @creativemorningsaustin​ @ Vessel Coworking - discussing her #LaPetiteMort , her moments of transendence + loss. From witnessing sex between her parents in the family bed as a child to the violent and tragic deaths of her father and uncle to her surreal engagement to a snake in the wake of Hurricane Celia, they have shaped her callings of Sex and Death.

#CMDeath with Jana Kinsman

In a humorous and enlightening talk, our November (#CMDeath) speaker, Jana Kinsman (of Bike a Bee), spoke about bees, why we should care about them, and about the amazing work she is doing in our own city to help them thrive. Enjoy some highlights captured by community members below-- and a timely reminder from Jana’s talk— winter is the best time to sign up for a CSA!

Went to Creative Mornings to support the epically talented @janakinsman of @bikeabee as she discussed insects, honey bees, sustainable farming and asked us all to question where we’re getting our food and how we can support local farmers. ❤️💀🌱#cmchi #cmdeath @chicago_cm

È così che funziona, sempre. Avete trovato un po’ di coraggio – neanche voi sapete come – e vi siete spinti fin lì, dove non avreste mai immaginato. Ma ora che ci siete, la paura sembra avere la meglio. E quindi che si fa? Un uomo saggio una volta disse che ricordarsi che si è destinati a morire è il modo migliore per pensare di non avere niente da perdere e seguire il proprio cuore.

  Facile, dirà qualcuno di voi, quando sei Steve Jobs (il pensiero è il suo), e c’avete pure ragione. In compenso, però, non siete nemmeno un rinoceronte di due tonnellate che se vuole andare avanti deve camminare su una trave di legno. E questo è già un bel vantaggio. 1 a 1 palla al centro: che dite allora, rischiamo?

“La cosa sorprendente è che ogni atomo del tuo corpo viene da una stella che è esplosa. È la cosa più poetica che conosco della fisica: tu sei polvere di stelle…  le stelle sono morte perché tu potessi essere qui adesso” (Lawrence Krauss)

Una visione della vita e della morte veramente poetica (e provateci voi a essere poetici con la fisica!), ma anche una bella responsabilità, no? Ora, non per mettervi ansia, ma non vorrete mica sprecare sto po’ po’ di roba, vero? Ecco, bravi. Quindi raccogliete un po’ di polvere e, come direbbe il saggio Gandalf, diventate ciò che siete nati per essere.

Death has inspired humanity since time immemorial, influencing ideologies and storytelling to our understanding of life and how we live it. To our ancient ancestors, the fear of death was a palpable and daily motivator. Although our world is infinitely safer than it was centuries ago, we are still driven by the fear of death and we expertly attribute it to even the smallest events: traffic, deadlines, a mistake, public speaking, your boss’s name on your caller ID on a Saturday. What we have done well as a species is leverage the fear of death to inspire achievements that seemed impossible, to create work that needed to be made, and to discover insights that help us live well. This month’s global exploration of Death was chosen by our Miami chapter and illustrated by 2016 Adobe Creative Resident Syd Weiler. Thank you to our global partners — Adobe, MailChimp, WordPress.com, and Shutterstock — for their support.
