Rather than facing the emerging realities, the future they portend, and drawing upon the work of prescient thinkers who are offering us a convincing, but daunting, map of where are headed, how many of us turn away with words like "hysterical," "overblown" and "exaggerated?
Can we find the inner courage to prepare ourselves for a world turned on its head? Do we say things like, "No one can predict the future," when in front of our own eyes there is a train barreling down the tracks heading straight for a chasm-spanning bridge with a gaping hole in its middle?
There are an exceeding number of problems to solve. We are asleep at the wheel and we need to wake up if we want to avoid heartbreaking disaster. If we are to be effective, the motive for accomplishing these goals so must be love for one another and the Earth.
