Thanks Justin. It sounds like you are on a good path…
"Our established institutions, which we might have once believed to be our safeguards, have shown themselves to be participants in the very issues we face. In light of this, our only recourse is to turn toward one another, embracing self-reliance and mutual support with earnest determination.”
Turning toward one another is the key. Too much of the clamor about what’s happening relies on the institutions and processes that are the problem.
We are so programmed on that reliance of these institutions, its a challenge getting folks to think outside that box. Yet I think the circumstances before us prompt the loss of confidence in those institutions and systems, and so now is the time to offer wisdom. I appreciate the comment.
Thank you for your important words, Justin. The times are so urgent now, and there is so much to make us despair, but we don't have time for that now, people of goodwill around the world must support each other in fighting to save our planet. You are right that the forces of greed and destruction will not easily relinquish their power.

one more thought: people fear disillusionment… but that is precisely what we need to do: get rid of illusions….
Great thought. Very true.

Thanks for the comment. I am hopeful that people will come together.
