Unboxed: A Week of Winks, Walks, and Wisdom

In this week's 'Wit & Wisdom with Rúna', I invite you on a whimsical journey through a week that could easily have been scripted for a sitcom, had it not been so deeply entwined with the fabric of societal change and personal growth. Amidst a cascade of projects and the silent wisdom of night-time musings, I embarked on a soulful quest with Nick Haines to dismantle the conceptual boxes that confine us. This adventure led me to the 'Future of Democracy' conference, where I dared to unravel the gender box before an audience as diverse as the landscapes of my Icelandic homeland.

But the real twist came on a Friday, under the mischievous wink of the afternoon sun, reminding me that life, in its essence, is a collection of misunderstood winks and blind spots. As I laughed at my own expense, a profound realization dawned upon me: if we can challenge our personal and societal boxes, what's to stop us from reimagining democracy itself?

Dive into this week's tale of reflection, unboxing, and the occasional squint against the blinding light of assumption. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most significant revelations come from the most unexpected places – like assuming every driver in Reykjavik is part of a flirtatious conspiracy. Join me as we explore the quirky, the profound, and the laughably human, all while stepping outside our neatly constructed boxes.

Elevated Musings: A Journey of Serendipity at 33,000 Feet

Welcome aboard my latest adventure in the sky – a tale that soars beyond the ordinary. Picture this: me, Rúna, wedged into a seat that's giving me a free chiropractic treatment, while I'm thousands of feet up in the air. My plan? Simple – soak in some wisdom from podcasts, lose myself in music, and let my thoughts wander. But, as it turns out, my tech skills decided to play hide and seek. My music playlist? More like a teaser than a full-blown concert.

Yet, there's a charm in the unexpected. As the plane hummed and fellow passengers drifted off, I found myself in a symphony of my own making, each song a key to a different memory vault – from the heart-wrenching farewell to my beloved dog to the adrenaline rush of commanding the stage.

Then, as we touched down and I reconnected with the world, a text from my son in Seattle lit up my phone. An invite to Billy Joel's concert – my birthday gift! Was this cosmic timing or just a happy accident? Join me as I unravel this high-flying tale of serendipity, music, and the boundless possibilities that await when we let our thoughts take flight.
