Global Connections for a Possible Future - Now

Well, I'm back.  I am a different person than i was.  Aren't we always.....it's just that we don't realize the changes that accrue incrementally and subtly until a huge iceburg breaks away all at once and we find ourselves afloat in some new territory..... and then new reflections show us our new self piece by piece, one side or one angle at a time until we get a big enough picture of who we are now and where we are now landed.  At least for this snapshot in time.  This moment.  Because the change never stops, really.  It's just that we want to cling to form and the known past out of some need for illusory security.  And then we become rigidified and frozen, unhappy, stale, depressed and empty.

So, humm.  Maybe it works better just to keep oneself in motion, present to the ongoing emergent possibilities... the everpresent collaboration with all that exists, that keeps us on our toes, always one with and privy to the unknowable, never sure, but always awake.

I had the priviledge of meeting George Por and Helen Titchen Beeth in Brussels in June.  I met many others as well, in an Art of Hosting workshop in the Belgian countryside.  I travelled to Rotterdam to see my friend Anita Floris whom I met in Salt Lake City last October while at The Big Mind retreat and i spent a couple of hours in The Hague with Peter Merry, learning about his Center for Human Emergence.

These are remarkable people who are making a difference, people who are infiltrating the mainstream with Boddhisattvic innovation.  Our meetings with each other strengthen the Field that can make possible the best of the Human heart, mind, spirit and future.  Through our work in our communities and our meetings with one another, we can make a difference.

Ideas like the Collective Buddha, Evolutionary Nexus, Collective Intelligence, and communties like the Berkana Institute, Integral, Better World Network, Pacific Integral and others are on the verge of coming together.  We are creating a huge web out of thin air, an infrastructure to link the human family in compassionate and hopeful embrace.  It is a big piece of work and we welcome all who are called to join.
