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

Inside any important philanthropy meeting, you witness heads of state meeting with investment managers and corporate leaders. All are searching for answers with their right hand to problems that others in the room have created with their left.

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.

America comes from a flawed but wonderful idea. Many great things have sprung forth over the past few hundred years but there were deep issues in the beginning that now are starting to show up.

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.

Shift the dynamic as much as you can, so you hear the truth from people that have lived experience. Listen intently and honor their experience.

Whatever shift is necessary is dependent on the scale on which it can be implemented, which is to say in your local community and family.
