I was going to start a blog but then I realized: I don’t have the time to write it and you don’t have the time to read it. So from now on, I’m just Jumping to Conclusions. Read them here.

Recently, I did a writing workshop with one of my living heroes, Shane Koyczan: an incredibly talented, award-winning, spoken word poet and author from Canada.

As part of the workshop, I wrote and shared the following poem, The Watch. After a long, pregnant pause, Shane slowly shook his head and said “Fuck… I wish I’d written that myself!”

Which in my book, is as good as a Gold Cannes Lion for poetry. So thank you, Shane Koyczan. You rock.

This manifesto for the movement never saw the light of day but moved Tarana Burke to tears. And that’s more than enough.

The Circle Book was a brand exercise for Target, exploring the many dimensions of the circle. A collaboration with designer Victoria Macey.

We don’t play to win
because winning means
the game ends.

We play to play.
We play to grow.
We play to connect.

Because when we play,
everything is possible
and everything is allowed

 Play
and synapses fire
Play
and cells divide
Play
and skills multiply
Play
and worlds come alive

Infinite potentials
created
destroyed
predicated
appointed
by play

Unscripted
Unpredictable
Unfettered

We play the infinite game.
