The emerging next is at least influenced by forces of each person on earth: leaders and what they want for good or ill; followers and what they choose to follow; news media and what they choose to publish. If we fight this next we are dropping out, saying what is is not. If we see where we all are and seem to be heading then we can influence the next. There are too many forces for any one to control. All influence.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1444

It is not to create the world

and the new living possibilities
make it all more than worthwhile
visions set a new wind blowing where it will

To one another
Conversation is a
