Sprouting seeds Sunday for me is mind wandering. Today, like other days, I'm sprouting seeds. I'm sprouting with strong presence of mind. Because, I know sprouting is like revitalising the spirit of the seed. The seeds are staying for days, months, and years in a dormant state. Then water and air, is bringing life again ready for the next journey. Sprouting is so silently, a new life is germinating without big bang, without chaos. There are lots of forces around. Light forces from the brother Sun; Water forces from the sister Moon and whole cosmo around helping the seed sprouting. I can perceive the seed incarnating again, that's a wonderful revival.

Evolutionary knowledge If we have to say define knowledge, we have to carefully think that knowledge is a general concept brought to individual consciousness. In a different way, we can also say that knowledge is something that is alive. A link between two different thoughts is also knowledge. While acquiring knowledge we think and hence we are creating links, then knowledge. How are we creating links? We create links by questioning and answering. The answers are the links. So we can learn only if we elaborate links with small chunks of knowledge. Evolutionary knowledge is related to learn small chunks from a master teacher, then think about it and then get back with questions. This requires that mastering a specific topic need a big overview by the teacher that is activating questions. Thinking about an iterative approach, questions can be raised and elaborated by the teacher for the next lesson. Evolutionary knowledge is a way of transferring knowledge in session of 20 minutes separated more than an hour each one. It is often best to sleep on the knowledge and waits next day or even better next week.

Camomile flowers tea for the vines Today I'm buying some chamomile flowers. I'm buying it because I love my vineyard. Even it is not a biodynamic practice I think that chamomile is a real benefit for all the vines. It is a concentrate of silica and plants will love its help to fight against fungi. I am going to make a tea of chamomile. First I will warm 50 litre of water up to 80 celsius degree. Then I'll put 2 cups of cold water and 250 grams chamomile flowers. I am going to stir and leave untile cold. Then I take a towel to filter the chamomile and I squeeze to get the whole essence. I put the water in the stirring machine and I stir for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes I am going to spray the chamomile on all the vines. They would be very glad.

Today Today I had a very busy day. I went to Milan with my motorcycle. I am going with my motorcycle because, usually, there is a big traffic congestion in the city and it is easy to stuck in the traffic and spend 1 hours more in the traffic. With my motorcycle I can easily overtake cars and get straight to my final destination. With my motorbike, I can also reach specific zone of the city avoided to cars. Parking is also very easy. Milan is a city with lots of specific motorcycles' parks.

The bees approach on innovation The bees approach on innovation There are some interesting behavior of a beehive and some of them are out of our ordinary schemes. Bees need to be “on the market,” they must discover new fields of flower or it will be a problem shortly. Same happen when we’re doing business within our corporates: we must set up a policy to seek new market. But, current commitments are hiding us from seeking future options and making us totally blind and focused only on the day by day. Failing on doing something or a distracting from the daily routine to “see” and “try” what is new outside can bring fresh air and vision. Too much concentration on a daily task will drive us on focusing on a single task and, worst, to consider it as the main task. The whole will become the instance and it will make you lose the vision that embrace the instance. Bees in their whole can be considered an individuality. Considering a corporate or a bunch of people as an individuality can be of extreme benefit. Bees are working within a specific cycle with separated roles and tasks. They are surviving harvesting pollens, storing honey, building hives, reproduce and give the life to new beehives through swarming. Worker bees fly out to take the pollens and bring it to the hive. But, not everyone is doing this! Only the 70% of the worker bees exit to work! The 30% is out for a journey, they fly and enjoy and they come back without the pollens. They are “deviant bees” and they don’t do what they are supposed to do. But, they come back with new knowledge, they know where new flowers are flourishing and they share their new knowledge with their sisters. This attitude makes them unique. Their way of living, let them to survive and to bypass the critical moment of finding new flowers. The same happens during our life regardless it is a corporate or a personal work. Some define it research and development, others distraction, or other again curiosity. There are bees that sometime are bringing pollens and sometime are taking a journey. This is the way we can learn from the nature and try to become resilient in our life. If it is possible, I encourage you to observe the nature and especially bees. This will be of extreme benefit in critical moments. Go out, watch a beehive and try to see everything as a whole.
