I found myself reading notes from a talk on the implications of space exploration on human beings and our view of ourselves from Paul Tillich . . . Starting with the Renaissance . .. and watching 3 Spider-Man movies and also “Don’t Look Up”. Judy is listening to Amy Goodman’s retrospective including homage to Desmond Tutu and interviews with Edward Snowden.

Thanks for the summary.  How do we create more circles or spirals of reflection …. This from Edna St. Vincent Millay via Deb Burnight an anchor of ToP in western Iowa:  

Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts . . . they lie unquestioned, uncombined
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun, but there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric.”

 

Edna St. Vincent Millay, from “Upon This Age That Never Speaks Its Mind,” Collected Sonnets (New York: Harper Perennial, 1988), 140.

You may have heard about, or even participated in, the global ICA conversations December 11th. Hosted by the Global Schedule Team and the ICAI Communications Team, we honored 2021 and shared glimmerings of the future.  

The attached is a sharing - a bit of documentation - to give you a taste of the events, to connect you with colleagues, and to inspire you with thinking about the future that emerged in the conversations.
