What can the story of a five-year-old boy (yup, me) hiding in the forest teach us about societal change and collective healing? Hint: It's not what you might think.
Paul, thank you. This is beautifully and thoughtfully written.
"We're living in challenging times. People and organizations that foster fear, division, and false individualistic narratives are gaining ground. But I believe in our collective power to push back against these forces—to create a world where we recognize our interconnectedness and work together for the common good."
The power of coming together and talking about the systems we are part of cannot be over-stated. The systems are complex and layered and designed, as you said, to benefit a very few (and mostly) white men. Our collective self-care and community building can make an enormous difference if we come together and take action.
Thank you, kindred spirit! I’m grateful for you as well. Let’s connect in November for conversation and ideation. I’m still convinced there’s a Venn diagram of our two ways of creating impact in the world with an overlapping section describing our future collaboration. 🙏🏻☮️☺️
Such a fine piece. Beautiful, important, powerful. Thank you.

Yes, please! I am convinced of that too. We are meant to collaborate on these conversations in community.
