Herds, rivers, forests, and skies filled with motion so vast it reshaped the land itself. Ghosts of Abundance explores what the great migrations of the living world reveal about collective power—and what their disappearance might teach us about the fragmentation of human systems. When abundance turns into rhythm and rhythm into force, a system becomes something greater than its parts. When that movement breaks, something deeper is lost.]]></description><link>https://www.connectingforchangellc.com/post/ghosts-of-abundance</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a9ed2d7fac2e2861fbf789</guid><category><![CDATA[FIELD NOTES]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 09 Mar 2026 20:06:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/275a3f_8f39bbb3fe0341a998b229c2ef8c8921~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>George Schuler</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Connective Tissue:  The Architecture of Connection Between Ground Truth and Global Change  ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Across water, climate, public health, and democracy, the same pattern repeats: intelligence lives at the edge, authority lives at scale, and the architecture connecting them has thinned.

The same trust and alignment that make networks powerful can, under pressure, make them fragile.
