Mr. Rippells' post reminded me how my graduate studies at Marquette were on the topic of servant leadership, The modern servant leadership academic college attributes its beginnings to the work of Robert Greenleaf who attributes his servant leadership inspiration to Brother Leo, HH's character in The Journey to the East.

Attached is a my chart of Journey to the East - It was a semester project about ten years ago- I'm thinking members of this list might enjoy perusing some section titles - for instance paragraphs 40 - 59 are titled "Faithful Rational Inquiry with regard to the missing Magic". It always cracks me up that we value the magic so much and then insist on spending our time in trying to "rationally" find it. Paradox, irony, folly.

My best conclusion is we are artist creatures - HH was a musician. Brother Leo? - I'm guessing his artistic giftedness was a dog trainer. Be who your magic is ... that's where the wonderment happens.

Grace and Peace

Dear Colleagues,

I believe the gridlock we are seeing on the national scene here in the USA is but a manifestation of the fundamental shift that is taking place in the world's polity system. Some time ago I wrote a talking paper on the emergence of our new world as we spoke about in the Urban Revolution of CS-I. But I now thing it is happening much faster than we had ever imagined. We are rapidly shifting to the primacy of the Regionalis dynamic (Area-Region-Metro) as the key to the new polity. Here is the link to a book I just heard talked about on the PBS news hour.

The Metropolitan Revolution: How Cities and Metros Are Fixing Our Broken Politics and Fragile Economy (Brookings Focus Book)

I haven't ordered the Kindle edition, but I think this is a book worth reading. Upon reading the reviews you can see it touches a cord with what people intuit is the new direction for our polity. People identify with "place" and the national and state levels don't provide that kind of energy.

Here is the paper I wrote.



Grace & Peace,

Jack

Too complicated to get. Could you send as a SIMPLE email attachment?

Sarah,

Sorry about the Polity attachment format. I had redone it as a PDF file.

Try this.

Jack
