The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.
~ Abraham Lincoln

Fluidity and Moving Forward...

Everyone has had struggle in their lives. As days go by we always have to overcome those struggles and as we learned we have power and love to help us through. I know that my issues on a daily basis are nothing compared to those who have real troubles, such as the miners who were stuck underground for two months. This is real pain. I have nothing like that happening to me, or even a real fear in my life. Power and love relate to that because it takes the power of people, prayers and passion to help find those who are in scary circumstances and love to recover from the trauma. "Walk Together"(p.127) in a group to change a situation as a whole we don't like. "vital challenges we face cannot be addressed effectively by any one leader or organization or sector, and so we need to build our capacity for co-creation.(p. 127) There are many saying relating to this very thing such as strength in numbers. We know through experience that things workout better when numerous helpers are passionate. So lets create the numbers and make people aware of how our planet is fading. We can turn around the unhappy progression we are making and turn it into something we are proud of. Like in Cuba. That is a perfect example. I can make this apart of my life by talking to everyone, creating that awareness and making people see what i do. Also by changing what I buy or where i buy it. I know this change is possible. We just need to learn to walk again. "We must use both of our legs; we must put one foot in front of the other. We mus step forward." (p.140)
