I try to keep my ears and eyes and heart open to the best and the worst we humans are doing.

My aim is to hold it all in light of wisdom and compassion and help folks who choose to engage actively to find real allies and skillful means.

We have tremendous individual and collective potential to celebrate & promote while actively inquiring into the old and new obstacles to full (with justice, peace, prosperity, spirit) sustainable development.

As time allows, I hope to add some annotations to help you see how these subjects fit together. This is the beginning of my answer to that perennial question, "What can I do?" Part of the answer is a re-frame: "What can we do?" This raft of hot links carries the inquiry further to "What is already well underway?" It becomes more a question of "How do we orient ourselves (thinking globally), find the ways we can give our gifts most joyfully (acting locally and wisely), and sustain our committment for the long haul?" I welcome your comments and questions at dreambody@igc.org ; or 415-861-1711 (24/7)

Eventually, I hope to have facilities for people to carry on online discussions ranging from theory to strategy, from program and tactics to evaluations, all in light of the big picture(s) we co-create. For now, we can start with VistaGrandeBigPicture.

There are riches related to each of these topics to be found on many of the links I've listed here. If you don't see an immediate way to get to them, you might consider trying out the site search feature.


If you have comments or questions, I hope you'll write to me. If you want to share them with "the world" you can post them to an appropriate section of VistaGrandeBigPicture.

Until major funding arrives this "Need to Know/ Strategy Forum" project will remain a spare-time labor of love. If you'd like to help, do let me know.
