What kind of growth?

What kind of growth do we need? Growth of consuming our planet, eating our children’s food and clothing and shelter and leaving them with scarcity—this kind of growth we do not need. Growth of well-being for everybody, growth of imagination, growth of writing and conversation, growth of collaboration, growth of soul and spirit and being—this is the growth we need.

Engage all hands, minds, hearts

It is important we have all hands and all minds and hearts engaged in what we undertake in the next decades. That includes the business people and government bureaucrats and fundamentalists—our “enemies” as well as our friends. We can afford to exclude no one.

We must also seek to engage hearts and minds as well as logic: we need invention and ingenuity and engagement.

The only thing we have to fear is…what fear does to us—draws us into a little ball and away from each other, away from what we might do together.

The only thing we have to fear is…what the fear-mongers promote: drawing away from action and strengthening the status quo from which these fear-mongers profit.

Listen, the voices of G*d

Listen to the voices of G*d—
the din of the frogs singing in the summer nightfall
the hush-hush of wings as a flock rises up
the touch of wind upon your cheek
Hear, O hear the holy
one
and your voice too,
essential
