I've watched towns and cities evolve and become very resilient, and fun, and unique, and prosperous on their own terms. And the secret is bridging. It's when the local church has a fun clothing swap fundraiser with a temple, and then the next year they bring in the mosque.

When we learn about ourselves, we can evolve.

There's tons of anger and angst and peculiarity and eccentricity, and good towns know that that's okay. But towns that are kind of bullshit don't know what to do with all those feelings.

There's always people who came 600 miles to hear the song you didn't play.

Sometimes life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging.
Dar Williams
Image
It's a collective truth that slavery is wrong, that child labor is wrong, that gross inequality is wrong. God didn't send it.

Guiding the ship takes more the your skill. It is the compass inside as the strength of your will.

I'm becoming a professional nomad and enjoying that whole part of my life.

At this point, I feel like I have roots in a lot of places. I have friends who have put down roots, in Seattle and San Francisco and Portland, and I feel very close to them.

And the ones that know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.

I would encourage people to bridge broadly and creatively in their communities, not just because that creates the most fun and resiliency, but also because it creates the most points of access for people to be part of the community, which is what democracy is at its best.
