Greetings, friends!
These are inspiring times. I'm keeping Principle 11 firmly in mind...
"Assume useful dialogue is possible, even when it seems unlikely..."
Here are some of the conversations that I'm developing and have been involved with in the last period. I would love to see you at an upcoming event!
