Bruges: The City of Canals
Birds on the canal, Bruges, Belgium. Blog Note: This post was originally written in 2022, but for some reason not posted at that time. I discovered it a few days ago while looking through my blog archives. 1990 was our big year for touring Europe. In February and March, Louise and I visited nine countries, mostly in Eastern Europe, just as they were emerging from 70 years of Communist domination, and in November we visited England, Belgium, France, Spain, and Morocco. All these travels were commissioned by the Church of God for the purpose of making still photographs and video and gathering in

I'm Getting Overhauled!
Abandoned Corvair, Sunbury, Georgia. I've been blessed with pretty robust health for most of my life. In fact, I was doing okay at age 87 until I had a bad fall while going down into a canyon to photograph Potter's Falls near Wartburg, Tennessee. (You can read about it here .) That cost me some walking mobility, and things have been moving slowly downhill since then. I haven't been writing much lately because, frankly, I haven't been feeling great. I've been lethargic and unmotivated. I think what I need is an overhaul! A round the end of World War II, while I was still a child, my father owne

My Overhaul Got Derailed!
RCB-TN-57-B, West of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Warning to first-time visitors : If you haven't visited my blog before, I suggest you read some of my older posts first to get a true sense of what the blog is about. Because today's post is a downer. Here's a good place to start . If you're still with me, and you don't have delicate sensibilities, let me bring you up to date. My last post was on August 10. On August 12, I lost my balance in our bedroom, my foot got caught in the carpet, and I fell heavily. A trip to the emergency room confirmed the bad news — I had a compression fracture of a vert

I Am Obsolete!
Obsolete and abandoned, but still beautiful. 1937 Hudson Terraplane. A few months ago I logged onto the web site of one of my credit card companies, only to be informed that I could not access the site because my computer's operating system was out of date. A little background: In 1993 or '94, around the time we built our house, we got our first computers -- a desktop, and a neat little Toshiba laptop that I really liked and used to write the text of t he the Rock City Barns book. It was eventually stolen. Over the years we went through machines from several different manufacturers and used su

Greetings—And An Update!—from Dave's Granddaughter
Hello, dear readers, my name is Jennifer. I'm one of Dave Jenkins' two best granddaughters, as he often tells me. I happen to be the red-haired one with five children who farms the lands he used to own in McLemore Cove, which he's shared quite a bit about here. His other granddaughter is a trained ballerina and soon-to-be medical school student! My grandpa loves this blog and you, his readers and friends, so he asked me to share an update. I’ve actually been working with my grandpa for a while on his blog and print shop, so it was an honor to be asked to author a post, too. If only it were und

Memorial Services for Dave Jenkins: Honoring His Life & Legacy
Friends, there are no words that seem right. I wish I didn’t have to write this blog post. I wish I could call my grandpa on the phone again and hear his voice and teasing. I wish I could give him one more hug. Unfortunately, his medical complications continued to compound over the last few weeks and he was not able to recover as we hoped. A few days ago, when he sensed he was nearing the end of his life, he asked that I share the news on his blog when the time came, and so I am. He passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 24th, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. I was not able to be there, sa

The parting glass
Last night I visited Meaford with my mom and her partners to hear The Irish Descendants, an iconic Newfoundland band. They are touring a new album of Stan Rogers covers, and between those pieces and the Irish Descendants’ own repertoire, I think I sang along with just about every tune they played. Afterwards we headed across the street to The Dam Pub. This whisky bar is one of my favourite pubs in the world. It has over 1000 whiskies in the collection, a supremely knowledgeable staff and a great kitchen. It has been a longstanding tradition whenever I visit this ...

How rivers of conflict flow
I don't love using Jeff Bezos as an example of anything virtuous, and the anecdote in this post may just be apocrophal, so let's treat it like that, but this is a useful quote: A group that gathers but doesn’t know how to fight without ‘un-gathering’ won’t remain a group for long. A group that can’t disagree and commit will disagree and dissolve. The point here is that "conflict preservation" is much more useful to a group than "conflict resolution" for most things. When clients ask me to help people come to "alignment" on things like the organization's vision or ...

Dialogic containers and the danger of metaphors
I'm writing about dialogic containers these days. They are tricky to describe, and in the same way that Mike asserts a sophisticated understanding of systems, it's important to find helpful metaphor for a dialogic container. As facilitators we are used to using the world "container" to describe something that we can sense, feel or even physically see. The term does not convey the nature of an actual thing, but if you ask people what they mean by container you find yourself in a metaphorical world. And also, it feels like a finger pointing at the moon. Dialogic containers are important to dialo

Cynthia Kurtz on why we should do a participatory project
When you worry that something you care about is going out of fashion, but you have no evidence for such a thing happening, the best course is to make the best argument you can for it as if the decline were happening. And then, if the decline is not happening, your best argument will still be useful. So I thought: What is my best argument for participation? What would entice a listening-weary, stay-at-home population to leave home and travel to the other earths of the people around them? How about an appeal to enlightened self-interest? Let’s see what I can ...

Cynthia Kurtz on PNI
Two Cynthia Kurtz posts in a row! Participatory Narrative Inquiry has been a very powerful way to connect my own facilitation, evaluation/research and change work in my practice. We’ve done PNI projects that have lasted from a few days to five years. Narrative capture and sense making creates a grounded and co-owned process for planning, creating change, adjusting strategy or simply understanding a current state. It works with the capacities and capabilities of the people in the organization or community themselves to do the work and so it is a good way to suspect the lure of the intervenor. .

Solving for uncertainty
A really good post from Chris Mowles that talks about how we seek to outsource our discomfort with uncertainty to an algorithm or a method or a process. Why is it so scary that unexpected things might happen when we get together to try and achieve something, unless we have things all planned out? Where is the room for the spontaneous, the novel and the eccentric? Two contrasting recent events have made me think about the technologies that we apply to meeting together, that aspire to create what my late colleague Doug Griffin used to refer to as the ...

State dismantles Trump's election interference case for Sullivan
Donald Trump and his corrupt attorney general are demanding that Alaska show favoritism to Sen. Dan Sullivan in the U.S. Senate election against challenger Mary Peltola. All Alaskans should be grateful today that two key attorneys in the Alaska Department of Law have been allowed to give an honest and clear-headed assessment of Trump’s unconstitutional enterprise.
