I believe that our very survival depends upon us becoming better systems thinkers.

Listening is a reciprocal process - we become more attentive to others if they have attended to us.

Life is creative. It makes it up as it goes along.

Space is the basic ingredient of the universe; there is more of it than anything else.

Listening moves us closer, it helps us become more whole, more healthy, more holy. Not listening creates fragmentation, and fragmentation is the root of all suffering.

All of us need better skills in listening, conversing, respecting one another's uniqueness, because these are essential for strong relationships.

This is a world of process, not a world of things.
