Thank-you, again, for your words of wisdom. What spoke to me was the question in the spiritual practice that asked, "Can I move from trust rather than fear?" When I move from fear, my attempts look more like desires to fix and control. This is almost always received with push-back and resistance. It can create dissonance and division that is often very difficult to reconcile. My challenge is to move from trust, for if I do so, I have an opportunity to take that "pause." In that pause, there is time to take a breath and not rush in to fill the space with my solutions. It is an opportunity to let in the light and spirit that can quietly and gently nudge me in a different direction. And that direction may be simply to be present in the moment.

This is the challenge that I constantly struggle with. But if peace begins with me, then I need to welcome it, knowing that I am never alone, and that there is real hope for the coherence you spoke about today.

Thanks so much for this thoughtful reflection, Cameron. Your invitation to move from effort to coherence, from strategy to resonance, speaks directly to something I’ve been holding in my own life and leadership. So often, when the world feels loud or fractured, the impulse is to do more. But what you name so beautifully is that Life may be asking us not to escalate our effort, but to deepen our alignment. To become, as you say, a conduit—not just for solutions, but for presence itself.

The idea that our contribution is measured not by impact reports or visibility, but by the field we carry—the coherence of our presence—feels both ancient and urgently contemporary. It reminds me of the mystics who speak of becoming transparent to the Sacred, not to disappear, but to allow what is deepest and truest to shine through us unimpeded.
