Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.

Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone

Passion mutates into procedures, into rules and roles. Instead of purpose, we focus on policies. Instead of being free to create, we impose constraints that squeeze the life out of us.

Very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care.

We are, always, poets, exploring possibilities of meaning in a world which is also all the time exploring possibilities.
