I think the antidote to any symptom borne of fear and scarcity is love. Compassion, understanding, respect, honor: all the things we need to help the world heal begin there.

The more history I read, the more everything seems to point to the same thing.

We don't know where our food comes from. We don't know a lot of things about what is happening financially. This creates the "power over" kind of feeling.

Try and identify where the money can go to create conditions for true systemic change.

Don't walk in with a colonial mindset and say, "We know your problem and we're going to fix it."

What we have is a crisis of imagination. Albert Einstein said that you cannot solve a problem with the same mind-set that created it.

I think influence is one way to exercise power and that the challenge is whether it is power over or power with. That's the essential shift that I hope can happen in the world.
