Have people to help in many ways today. This might be an Open Forum moment, in Arny Mindell terms. The umbrella issue is much to do to help people in many ways. The issues that tug on one another are Medicaid, Powers of Attorney, conflict, loss of power, hopelessness, getting to heard, others. I can help by being present to the flow of nature, where things want to be, being aware of dreams—the things often unnoticed or shrugged away. Seeing possible ways together. Whoommmsh!

We are in the privacy breach era. No longer do we have privacy and yet we want it. We identify with this privacy, calling it our “identity.” The only ones who have privacy are those taking our information for secret gain. Will we shore up our separation or will we become much more open? Blockchain might be a model—everything is known and accessible. Secrecy is then a weapon, a crooked, bent activity. No one sells my information because it is available for free.
