(Posted in the Huffington Post on March 1, 2013)  My family and I were sitting around my mother’s dinning room table when this question popped into my head. Having a very vocal family where everyone has strong opinions, I knew I was in for a hearty conversation. I was surprised however at how this simple question ignited a fascinating, deep hour-long conversation. I learned a lot, understood even more and by the end of the conversation I felt understood. What has happened since that discussion has been amazing. Every conversation I have had with the members of my family who participated in that dinner dialogue has been exponentially richer.

The time for hopelessness and helplessness is over. The future depends on us – me, you, all of us working together to transform our civilization from the painful, unnatural, conflict-filled, destructive world it has been for centuries into the hopeful, inclusive, loving sustainable, flourishing civilization it can be. It is time for us to put our highest aspirations to work to co-create a brave new world. We are the pioneers, explorers, and the inventors of our time.

Do we have the courage to dream such an audacious, bodacious vision? Is it possible for us to make this beautiful compelling dream come true?
