and our not-so-lovely potencial?


standing up for ourselves


big mind, big problem…or not?

Where Did Our Power Go?


the spiral of powerlessness


speeding the spiral


elections plus a market…that's democracy?

kids learns conflict is okay



Talking Democracy


finding our words


anti-capitalism or anti-plutonomy?

regularions or standards?


consumers or buyers?

Courage



Seize the Moment


trapped and springing free


a rude shock


letting go of illusions



When Fear Means Go


fear as pure energy


fear and conflict


as it is


old thoughts, new thoughts


inner applause



Sanity in Motion


remembering how we got here


seeing pattern, I can begin


a cautionary tale: the danger of good intentions


changing course—issues versus entry points


breaking die spell


an internal checklist


justice, please meet democracy


justice and democracy—soft-wired partners


bold humility


civil courage
