If you need ownership and responsibility from core workers, patriarchy can't get you there.

We have banished our artists to the fringe of society and tell them to eat cake. It is our artists who choose freedom over safety and use their talents to question and confront the culture.

Anecdotes, personal stories, reminiscences, like biblical parables, are the medium through which faith is restored. Stories are a form of poetry, and give us a saving image to personally relate to.

The essential challenge is to transform the isolation and self-interest within our communities into connectedness and caring for the whole.

We must establish a personal connection with each other. Connection before content. Without relatedness, no work can occur.

Structure influences behavior. Design spaces that make you feel "you are welcome here and that you came to the right place."

The goal is to balance a life that works with a life that counts.
