2008-Shift in Action
I apologize for my absence. I got highjacked by Christmas holidays, a series of family events, and meetings in the U.S. which took me away from reflection and writing. Here we all are at the start of the new year well in motion along with the reminder that shifts in consciousness, in the evolution of humanity, in how we support and enable performance and people to contribute are at a tipping point.
Each one of you reading this is a part of that shift, otherwise you would not have been drawn to this site.
To start off the New Year's entries I have the permission of Richard Wilson, a brilliant poet/librarian and individual, to reproduce a poem he offered those in attendance at the Knowledge and innovation network meeting held at the Rex Ranch near Tucson, Arizona this past week.
Creating Community
We have an opportunity to create community
find a place for every age, religion, and race.
Humans individually searching for identity
collectively gathered here by design or fate.
Facing an alien future where
imagination dumbs
stagnation comes
abominations numb
sensations succumb.
Each person is vulnerable.
All children are valuable.
How does the future you want feel?
Do you wish for the pursuit of purpose to be real?
Risk your significance
to evoke emotion
provoke potential
give voice to vision.
Heart guides mission
memories teach
dreams reach,
and expectations become.
If it is believable,
then it is conceivable
for sustainable co-existence
to be achievable.
