Just imagine our world....

Just imagine our world when we have plenty of oil, coal, lumber, houses, and cars, and everything is covered in plastic trash. Oh, and there would be no sea turtles or any living thing besides humans and mosquitoes.

Want to start a movement?

How does that sound? What if we pledged "...liberty and community" for all? That could fundamentally change who we are and how we treat each other. How about it? Want to start a movement?

What could our future look like?

While traveling in France, I have been amazed at the diversity in people, in couples, and in children. People walking down the street together with smiles on their faces. Is it possible that could be a snapshot of our future?

Liberty and justic for... whom?

This is my second postcard in a series on the topic of justice. The evidence I have read shows that there is very little justice for marginalized populations in the U.S. They have a higher rate of poverty and lower quality schools. They are incarcerated at a far higher rate than those who identify as "white" even when they have a lower rate of crime. How can we keep saying, with our hands over our hearts, "...with liberty and justice for all," when we do not live those words? More on the topic of justice tomorrow.

Is justice blind?

This is a first postcard in a series on the topic of justice. If justice is measured by our correctional system, one could argue that true, blind, justice is not being served.

Seems rather easy...

Just a thought that seems easy enough. Generosity, kindness, and justice are what will protect the world and all those in it.

All should be led to higher ground...

The mark of a "great" leader is that her (or his) followers are not led to the brink by someone who is trying to prove how great she (or he) is. A great leader tries to lead so all followers are led to higher ground.
