Accused of being an optimist! I am not an optimist—I am a worker, a whole-maker, one who says it is up to us. A pessimist says it won’t happen; I agree—it won’t happen if we don’t try. An optimist says it will happen; I disagree—so long as the will happen is perceived as without our effort.

As lawyers what we have to teach ultimately are not technical rules but how to live life together, and the doing of it.

That can start anywhere, even in total ignorance.

In that the primary tools are reflection, conversation, and unfolding.

the root of wise
action

How can it be?—
Ignorance the source of wisdom

Humanity is the enlarged way for seeing the world.

Humanity is the agency by which the universe sees itself. Other instruments exist, for instance the ants. But they do not appear to us to have ways for seeing the world larger than it is, for building or generating anything new. Humanity is thus the way that we can see the world larger than it is.
