“This is the most extraordinary time to be alive in the history of this planet. And you are here, alive, now, not by accident. What are you doing here? Do you have any idea? Yes, you do, or you wouldn’t be reading this. And that’s the best news this planet has had in a very long time. You’re good news because you are about to change this planet in very important ways. And the planet needs changing now, in important ways, more than it has in a very long time. In fact, if those changes don’t take place now, in the nearness of our short-term future, our long-term future may not be assured.”
Neale Donald Walsch

Craig Newmark – Founder Craig’s List
“It seems to me that we are on the cusp of a massive tectonic revolution in a worldview of the Western world – a shift from a “conversion worldview” to a “conversational worldview.” A conversion worldview simply sees that the “other” is wrong, maladaptive, or different, and needs to be fixed. A conversation worldview by contrast understands that there is a third something, a mystery to be explored together of which we are an integral part.”
Rev, Matt Syrdal

Steve Jobs
“The two skills of the warrior are compassion and insight. Compassion is easy – it arises spontaneously from an open heart. Insight or discernment requires more skill. We have to choose our battles.”
Margaret Wheatley
“I want to discover who, if anyone is gathering energy and doing something about the challenges we are facing, who is putting together a plan or a program, who is launching what efforts to accomplish which goal. I want to know this because I want to connect with these people. I want to use these resources. I want to increase my effectiveness as a spiritual helper by joining with others who are holding the same ideas I am nursing and who are moving in the same direction I am going.”
