How this works
Supernova Bursts are the beginnings, or roots, of many (much) bigger ideas waiting to be fleshed out into their own essays or pages. The Love First Writing Experiment invites people to donate small dollar amounts to crowd-fund the creation of Pieces that they are most keen to learn more from.
Currently, Pieces are put at the top of the to-write pile when donations for them pass the threshold of
$55 .For more information, see the To Write Pile.

My offer: If you work with me closely, you’ll find yourself frequently saying or thinking: “I find it surprisingly easy to do this thing that I’ve never done my entire life.”
Hi, my name is Faruk, and I offer Community and Identity Coaching. Here’s What That Means.
I Am Going Love First; Here’s What That Means.
I want (a):
- Queen Latifah From Stranger Than Fiction In my life
Maybe we should use some different language about how to convince everyone of their imminent death…
Because some people may have an understandable tendency to get really angry when they feel like they might be about to die (All. The. Time.)
I am (this character) in my own life
What if what I’m saying is true: My World In 2040 Our Better World In 2040
To learn about love: Go see an expert about love Go see a Love Catalyst
My challenge to people with opposing views:
- I write how and why I Think YOU feel
- You write how and why you think I feel
- We move forward from whichever piece we both love more than the other
(Little Did He Know)
I want to give an entire seminar about:
- 🌀 1: Own Your Actions
MWLF My MWLF technique for when I do seminars and workshops:
If I use a quote from something, like from STF:
I left my socialist reading material at home
(…because someone started complaining about socialism in the middle of my facilitation and it’s not the topic of concern)
…it is also an invitation to point out the reference. “Question or Answer?”
The meaning of a statement can become quite different just by finishing the sentence.
I want to practice making myself extremely useful (to •• for) other people
The only way to find out what story you’re in is to:
- eliminate what stories you’re NOT in
- AND
- write it out yourself
Do you have magical powers? Yes

Let’s write a better story for all of us
Rule #1: You Do (Not) Talk About Write Club
- I will write the blueprint which each “essay”—regardless of its medium—is to be modeled on, at least to start
- This equalizes the playing field a little (not that it matters) and, more importantly, it makes for a bench line or set of metrics by which we can assess it
- The prompt is: who can write the most loving picture of a possible future for us
- Let’s see if we can get this spaceship earth back on a more agreeable course for everyone
The Less Famous Experiment Of Schrödinger’s Cup
I had a moth (not a regular one?) and a tiny spider both show up in my bathroom at the exact same time. The reason they showed up so perfectly simultaneously is that… that was when I turned on the light.
“Great, two new unwanted roommates. At least one is here to take care of the other, though.”
I contemplated what to do, and ultimately decided to nudge nature’s hand. I put a clear cup over the moth, ushered the tiny spider onto a small piece of toilet paper, and put the cup—with fly!—on top of it.
The fly is slightly larger than the spider, yet, who will eat whom? Until I go back in to check, they are both equally dead and alive to me.
The Wake Does Not Determine The Boat’s Course
If I throw a ball in the air and carefully observe where it lands, and then I pick it up and throw the ball in the exact same way from the exact same position using the exact same hand motion, angle, velocity, and energy as I did on the first throw…
Would the ball land in the exact same place?
The only true answer is you can’t predict that with certainty, because the prompt does not specify sufficient context or constraints for the experiment. I could throw it identically, but then I could snag it out of the air or swat it away before it hit the ground.
We can change our minds any time we want to, and anytime we feel we need to, and we can radically alter the course of a trajectory. You can suddenly turn the wheel or rudder on the boat. You can snag the ball out of the air. [[You Can Change Your Mind. On Anything. On Everything.]]
We can interfere with nature’s course; how ‘bout we try some more/new/different ways to interfere with it for positive impact?
I want to offer Community & Identity Coaching
(What does that mean?)
Community → potluck salons on a topic with leaders and interested parties from the community
(Mars’s song circle, me chiming in with the five stages of mastery)
The stage of conscious incompetence SUCKS
I’m starting to see where my competency has become conscious, and perhaps even unconscious, with Love First. Things are starting to flow more freely.
