Pausing with Eric - Ep 287 - The maybe-war

Описание: For a few years now, our geo-political landscape has not quite felt like peace, but not like war either. Could it perhaps best be called a 'maybe-war'?

The tension is rising and relaxing interchangably – back-and-forth – putting cracks in our social dynamics.

In today's episode, we PAUSE, for a second or two, and reflect upon this 'no-man's-land' of sorts.

COMMENT BELOW, DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS DESCRIPTION, OR NOT?

(Wood Cube: ACUTE Skill TENSION)

00:16 Pausing with Eric - Intromusic, Eric Wadell
02:03 Ep 287 - The maybe-war
02:19 ACUTE Skill TENSION. The image of the cello, with its strings tuned in just the right tension - not too loose, and not too tight.
05:31 We PAUSE, and check in on tensions inside and outside. TENSION is how we attune our bodies to oneanother.
06:23 Drawing a couple of bodies. The tensions in our bodies depend on eachother.
10:26 Attuning our social tension so that it sounds good - like the cello. Too little tension and we will become depressed, too much tension and we will become prickly.
12:09 The maybe-war. A strange suspended geo-political landscape. Hard for us as civilians to tell what kind of time we are really living in.
15:24 In today's episode we PAUSE, and acknowledge ourselves, and that this dynamics is taking its toll on us. The tension in our bodies go up and down, and then up and down again. Simultaneous traits of both peace and war. Difficult for us to attune our social bodies to oneanother when our inside and outside tensions are being tested like this.
17:25 Not fully at peace and not fully at war - like a no-man's land. We cannot be fully alerted, but not calm either.
18:04 Today's date - February 28th, 2026 - we have received news about some kind of bigger military 'operations' done by USA and Israel in Iran, and with Iran responding with 'operations' of their own. Difficult to determine as of yet what this means for us as civilians.
20:18 Our conclusion is that this maybe-war is putting a crack in our social dynamics.
