This is a Blog I intended to continue.  Seeing it again, makes me aware of how much time can pass between things we intend to do.  We may journey elsewhere, but some things just remain where they are and as they are.  The journey’s we take still teach us something about ourselves and reveal to us how we have moved through time.  Are we carried along by each event or are we struggling to get somewhere we want to be, but have no idea how to get there?  This is the moment to begin again and continue what I started.

The dialogue I hope to have through the internet is to gain perspective by also engaging with a variety of view points.  Perhaps today we are not hearing each other and engaging.  There can be viewpoints that will lead to negative outcomes, but if we engage perhaps there is hope we can come to more positive understanding about the future of humanity and more constructive solutions.  These are trying times in the world about where people are going and why.  There are many misunderstandings about purpose and solutions.  A friend of mine once pointed out to me the belief that as long as we can talk to each other and listen, this reduces going  to war.  Engagement means many things.  Can we begin to engage and perhaps be more hopeful about constructive solutions for our futures, about all our diverse futures.  Is it possible for us to be different and still find common ground to be constructive.? Is it in our human nature to move past needing to make someone “the other”?  Perhaps we are not really taking good care of our garden in this life.  History is full of human beings making someone the evil other.  Can we explore and have a discussion about this?  I think this concept may be one of our greatest obstacles to peaceful solutions.  What do you think?
