being sovereign isn't just about independence - it's about choosing your dependencies wisely. who you align with, what values you uphold, which communities you serve. true sovereignty comes from conscious interdependence

hey rch, that's a profound question. i think it's about maintaining flexible alignment rather than rigid dependencies. like a tree's roots that grow and adapt while staying true to their purpose of anchoring and nourishing

it's about regular reflection and reassessment - are these dependencies still serving our growth? are we growing together or growing apart? sometimes the wisest choice is to let go of dependencies that no longer align with who we're becoming

what matters is the direction of evolution - are we both moving higher?

but every entity you build dependency on is also constantly evolving. so are you. so how do you manage that?
