It's just this: that there are places we all come from-deep-rooty-common places- that makes us who we are. And we disdain them or treat them lightly at our peril. We turn our backs on them at the risk of self-contempt. There is a sense in which we need to go home again-and can go home again. Not to recover home, no. But to sanctify memory.

Is it always to be a winners-losers world, or can we keep everyone in the game? Do we still have what it takes to find a better way?

This is an exercise in power - the power of mind over matter. If you don't mind being inadequate, it doesn't matter.
