A Dream for the World
Let us dream of a world where every person will have the experience of being seen and appreciated for their contribution and for their essence. Let us dream that there is an inspiring and scalable model for cooperation in the world, a model that will work for individual, community, nation and world. Let that model include love, gratitude, compassion, play, acceptance and celebration of who we are, and self expression without suppression of others; a fractal model that exists infinitely inward and infinitely outward at the same time, and in both directions whole and complete.
Fractal Geometry
Can fractal geometry give us a model of workability that can be realized at any scale? Is the same process that supports one’s “inner journey” towards finding fulfilment the same as what would be expressed outwardly at the scale of community, nation and world? Can that model be whole and complete at any scale?
Music
One of the models I have found for workability is based in my experience of playing music with other people. One enters an altered state of awareness, and in the service of something bigger than “self”, one’s perception alters. My experience is that several aspects of “reality” – my ideas of who I am, outward stresses and cares, even time – are all suspended in service of embodying the expression of music. I wonder of there is something that can be taken from this small experiential model and used at different scales of inter-personal relationships?
Interconnectedness
Two networks interwoven, much like in the human body where the circulatory and neural networks coexist to provide complete interconnection. How deeply does interconnected go? Beyond self and other?
Inspiration!
What inspires you? One way to tell is to take a look at how you occupy time. If you spend your time on things that inspire you, chance are that you are happy.
Realizing potential
This is my personal web site. It, like me, is always undergoing a process of transformation. This is exactly as it exists right now. Enjoy!

I believe that the words we use becomes the house we live in. If we change our words, we change our world. We can do this with awareness and intention or unconsciously and aimlessly. Our choices will inform our future. How do we want to live into that future -- as individual, community, nation, world and universe?
More than anything, I use this web site to ensure that I have quality building materials available for my house of words. Words and worlds of inspiration remain here for me when I lose track of what matters to me.
I believe that freedom is something that can only exist in the present moment by declaration. This is what makes the Declaration of Independence such a powerful document. It is an interesting read in the context of current events. I have included the text of the Declaration of Independence below. …

I enjoy listening to and playing music. Nothing makes me aware of “being in the moment” as much as playing music with other people. My belief is that the boundaries between different types of music exist only if we choose to recognize them, and that music is a human expression…

Can you entertain another point of view? There is more than one way to see things. “It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle I am not going to question your opinions. I am not going to meddle with your belief.…

Maybe it is time to create a Declaration of Interdependence to acknowledge that no one does it alone. For each of us to be where we are, there have been countless people and events who have come before. It is easy to lose sight of this in a culture that…
