Glory-- Thank you for your kind note.
<< the ideal story would include and transcend any existing << polarities - IMHO. << So my own question is seeking its answer in me... and I think the stories << that move me the most are ones where a whole group shifts in some new, << interesting or surprising way.... << It may be the entire org or a sub-group but it's this action of << exploring/deciding/acting, consciously and intelligently, together that << really excites me. I also believe the mini-narratives within this frame << (where people have ah ha moments or emotional breakthroughs) are very << important to tell as well because they give hope and heart to others. Teilhard is for me, too, one of my teachers--I always get my thinking exploded reading his work. So I enjoyed the Teilhard-Atlee poem a lot. So it is no surprise that these stories you mention are the ones I have in mind (and heart) when I ask about stories. What are your favorite stories of this kind, Glory? I want to have some of that hope raised in me that you talk about so well.... :-Doug.
