Learning About Invitations

Invitations to trail-off may take different shapes and forms. They can look like giving someone a ride, playing bingo or staying around to drink a cup of coffee.

It is up to you to decide whether you want to accept these invitations or not.

If you accept, they allow you to divert from previous trajectories and extend towards a practice of wayfaring and dwelling. Being receptive and open to such invitations is also the most effective way in this Knowledge-Land-Scape to attune to their corresponding insights. When it comes to better understanding of how “ethical engagement” comes to matter in community-based polar bear research, I have found that the most insightful moments happen through unanticipated encounters, attuned curiosity and attentive openness.

Sometimes, invitations consist of more than one event or encounter, and lead to their own trails. Keep following such side-trails until it fades out. Once you reach one of those "dead-ends", you can return to where you came from to find another way.

“Keep Going”, to see what happens when the trail fades out.
