I have been wondering where the future is leading,it seems to fluctuate like day and night but there have been clues.I feel that there is a ground swell of new conciousness,an awareness that as humans we need to change the way we have been treating this miracle of a planet.It feels like we are seeing with new eyes the destruction that is being caused by our need to consume in ways that are not sustainable.Talking to the youth,I find that many are on the path and are already dreaming up ways to c… Continue
