Reply #63: How much time do we have is a good question. [View All]

Thanks for your feedback on the Blueprint. Nobody can say for sure how much time we have or need. I certainly feel a lot of urgency, even as I suggest a long view.

As I study the social change efforts around me, I see a need for making a better connection between the choices we make now for immediate action and real goals I think we ought to pursue for the future. Sometimes those far off goals are, as I call them in the Blueprint, false alternatives. That's one big part of looking at improving our efficacy as agents of change.

But it is also about focusing our next steps on matters that address root causes. And then even here we have the challenge of harnessing the volume created by enough voices shouting the same message. This is where it starts. What is the message? What stance can increasing numbers of people take in harmony? What can resonate enough to shake the foundation and advance OUR quest for freedom and liberty? These were the ideas I considered as I put together the Blueprint.
