Partnership
One of the hats I wear is as internal examiner for Cambridge University's Postgraduate Certificate in Cross-Sector Partnerships. This week, I've been reviewing assignments, which got me to thinking about the concept of partnership. What does it mean to be "in partnership" with someone? What makes partnerships succeed or fail? I've captured my musings in prose as part of my Everyday Inspiration series (see www.waynevisser.com/prose.htm, note, I'm still uploading the backlog). Here's an extract:
Despite its fragility, partnership is the rule of life, rather than the exception.
The ocean partners with the sun to form rain.
The sun partners with the rain to grow plants.
Humans partner with nature and each other to form homesteads and communities, organisations and industries, nations and civilizations.
On and on it goes.
In short, life on earth is a grand experiment in partnership.

This is not so much a diary as (in the spirit of blogging) where I share random thoughts as and when I think I have something vaguely interesting to say.
This is also the place where I will flag what's new on my website - www.waynevisser.com - especially new writing, poems and art, as they are loaded.
