Abstract

What has meaning for me in my life and in my work? I have been interested all my life in a systemic view of life to better understand the human becoming and the phenomena governing it. I am fascinated by the mystery of existence and change, attracted by the bridges of pure potentiality.

In this article I intend to share some thoughts through some key words: love, recursion and multidimensionality, complexity, making connections, flow, intention, surrender and respect. I will offer some clinical examples to reason with the reader on my understanding of what our systemic dance implies.
