Crisis is central to transformation. Transformation involves the death of the ego—the old self. So there are life-death choice points. The same is true of groups—if we are going to change, we need to get to death. This may be why Harrison speaks so often of griefwork—but this is after the fact I suspect. We need pre-griefwork: crisis stirring, death making, gutting. This is love? This is love.

Nothing stands still. Which is why we have new ideas every day, and new challenges. Which is also why we need to be moving, inviting the world to chase after us, to keep up with us, to get better.

We have a desire to accomplish: what gets in our way? We do not see it is possible to accomplish. We do not see ourselves as having the power to accomplish. We do not see ordinary people as having the power to accomplish. If we will allow that these might be incorrect assumptions, we might accomplish. Our very thoughts get in the way!
What do you want to accomplish? Why don’t you see to it?
Conversation is how we gather power to accomplish. Accomplish what? Things that matter. Change. Transformation.
Conversation is how we self-organize our powers.
Fears are overcome by doing. Not facing our fear—that is giving it respect and space to grow—but facing the task and starting. What do you want to accomplish? You are the one to see to it.
