I like the model you describe. One thing it does, it allows for synchronicity.-- Kenoli
Thank you for the many, many profound insights. Even as I'm about to work with the news media, I have been railing to myself about the shallow coverage on the news. It finally dawned on me. Lists like this have become the place for reliable news and public discourse. I may get the broad facts from mainstream media, but the meaning making is happening here, with a diversity of perspectives; including such amazing cross-connections as a message from a military veterans list posted on the OS list! I also suspect that as self disclosure happens, the asynchronous nature of this way of communicating helps us to go deeper. When I read something that makes me defensive, I can go away and breathe deeply. When I return, a loving and honest response appears. And we all keep talking. This gives me hope because we are no longer reliant on a monolithic source of information that distorts as much or more than it informations. Rather, we have access to many perspectives through our connections. We are weaving a deeper truth, a sense of oneness that gets its strength through honoring complexity and diversity rather than "sound-biting" it out of existence in the name of unity. I won't be surprised if eventually some convergence naturally emerges leading us (and I mean us is the largest sense) into strong, collective action. Thank you all. Peggy P.S.
