Remember to live.

:- Doug.

Who are the very best people I can find to help me turn the world? asked J. So he chose—or wandered into—a bunch of coarse blue collar people—ordinary people, people with “no” resources—and showed them their resources were beyond generous. They answered a call to a higher work. His work was to help them find the resources to make change.

We are larger than we know
We are more than we know
We are more than we are

:- Doug.

Call the attention of persons to community. Here it is that they get their sustenance and nurture; here it is that they belong; here it is that they can find life expansive. Life expands when you help others. It is not about getting for yourself, but about about expanding life—life of the community and life itself.

Will people understand, let alone take this in?

It may be a matter of reminding people of their own stories of giving and being part of a community. Ask them for these stories.

When have you given yourself heart and soul to some one else? To a project or movement? Dropped everything because some one needed you? What did that feel like?
