Where did all those weeks go?

breath in, breath out. Repeat.

We're starting to suspect there may be a little bit of time to breath, which is a relief, cause the past three days have been a whirl wind. But we don't suspect this relief will last long.

Did you know that we're studying collaboration? Well we are, and more and more we're realizing the most important methodology we have is field action research- what we call studying ourselves.

The best thing we have going for us is MOTIVATION. We are so passionate about what we're studying we're willing to pull all nighters, go for the gold, do whatever it takes to communicate our findings.

Perhaps our biggest mistake? We forgot the golden rule: keep it simple stupid. We have bitten off a gigantic, interdisciplinary topic and are barely able to scratch the service. In hindsight, we probably should have SIMPLIFIED OUR PROPOSITION. But what can you do- we're learning and despite the pain- we're loving every second of it.

I guess what it always comes down to is time. There's never enough time... it's a pretty familiar feeling. I think everyone who's concerned about global poverty, climate change is concerned with every second wasted.

So we're doing our best to push through, do the most we can with the little time we're lucky enough to have, and hope that we can all learn something meaningful along the way.
