The human race is a passionate sort... and I appreciate this willingness to examine, process, and move towards positive change. Whether in business, academia, government, or society, this energy is what I find stimulating. In these passions for social justice that provoke us to think and to do, I discover hope.
This morning, I read about Emmanuel Vaughn-Lee and discovered his project called Global Oneness. I watched one of the project's videos called "What would it look like?" It's thoughtful film (although about 25 minutes long; I recommend it when you get a chance).
Later today, I met with a student impassioned about the expanding world and how traditional business will adapt to the limitations of copyright or censorship (think Google in China, for example). He was impassioned about his topic and ready to challenge his own and his classmates' thinking on the topic.
Upon my return home, I found my box of coffee from the LWR Coffee Project. This issue of justice and fair trade was part of my very first job after college and remains something I feel good about consuming and passionate about sharing.
I am thankful for those passionate enough to go against the grain, provoking us to think and rethink, to do and redo. I can only hope that on really good days that I can respond to this energy and embody this spirit in my daily journey.
