Acknowledgements and appreciations:
The creation and evolution of this website will, hopefully, involve many other contributors, writers, bloggers and discussants. It has already been a joint effort, arising from my many conversations with many people. There are many who have sent me articles and books to include. There are many who have turned me on to related organizations interested in common efforts.
Conversations beget conversations, and “networking the networks,” as one friend refers to the process, helps us all learn from one another, deepen by input from others, and connect more richly with one another.
None of us can solve the problems in front of us by ourselves. We need one another. We need connection. We need community. We each get to see into one another’s blind spots and therefore see more fully what needs to be seen.
Several communities intersect with several communities. I overlap with some of the people I talk with in more than one way, we are part of more than one group or part of more than one community or organization.
