So very true Rob, our focus on the gifts of life, awareness and love are the keys to mobilizing and energizing the movements toward a global planet that works for the benefit of all human beings.

Good to hear from you, Jim. It was wonderful being with dear colleagues some of whom I have not seen for many, many years.
Yes, there is much to cry about these days. And also smile and laugh about. And most of all to be grateful for - the gifts of life, awareness, and love.
How can the paradigm of a movement of movements help in mobilizing energy to create a more compassionate, ecologically sound world?

Thank you, Rob. For an old guy you are really good! Seems to me weeping is a good response we should do more of. I can remember from time to time tears appearing in my Grandmother's eyes.
When we were living at the ICA centre in Brussels, Robert Gilman came to visit. He was the founder and editor of In Context magazine which became YES! Later. We were talking in our room of all the creative (I called them "alternative" approaches) at large on the planet and how exciting they all were and how much I appreciated In Context for the reporting it was doing of these alternatives.
"No, no," Robert said. "We are not interested in alternatives. We are spelling out and highlighting the NEW MAINSTREAM." "Like Voluntary Simplicity," I said. "More like voluntary complexity" He replied.
In reading your work on MOM, I found myself wanting to edit out "can" and replace the verb with "is" . . .

A Path Forward Conversation Saturday 15 March 4 pm Eastern 1 pm Pacific
This Saturday Sunny Walker will be facilitating a conversation addressing the question "What role do shared narratives and cultural continuity play in engagement?"
as it becomes clearer that collapse i.e. withdrawal, does not answer the call to engage in doing the necessary deed of addressing the innocent suffering in our moment.
Please join us in the zoom room found at the zoom is of 630 013 695 and the password is 352922.

Hello Bill, Thank you. I add my name to Wanda. I experience here in my country of origin a similar shaking of the foundations as many have described in your nation and Charlie Angus in Canada. Sartre said ‘where one country is in chains we are all in chains’ ( paraphrase). Please include my name in any findings:- JWM used to say: Big think,….act…. Deep resolve. Jim Weigel or others will remember the correct words.. ‘These are the times, and we are the people’.

Bill, I can’t join you today because I’m already on a zoom call with other ICA women regarding Women’s Spirit Reflections which also gathers once or twice a year.
Please keep me on your list to participate and if you have any notes to share from this group today, please let me know. Thank you for getting us. And share our thoughts on the future.
