Finding perspective

Flourishing

“Eri Mountbatten-O’Malley explores what human flourishing really means.”

“We are each unique, and we each occupy a unique place in the world, connected to others, belonging to particular places and communities”

“No effort is made to let people themselves shape their solutions or their own goals. “

Engagement

Jon Alexander , the challenge is to hear unique individual stories within the whole community story. Curation that dilutes can devalue, however treasuring essence can improve the quality of engagement. Absence from the table should be acknowledged as part of the glocal glassfulness.

Contact  connect, communicate, consolidate, …engage.

Finding the initial glocal contact the key challenge.”

Lie 1: We can have solidarity without proximity.

Lie 2: We can have civic renewal without economic renewal.

Lie 3: We can have democracy without participation.

” I fear that the professionalization of a democracy “space” — with its “democracy practitioners” and “invite-only convenings” — will unintentionally make democracy an activity that’s only for some people and not for everyone else.”

Parallel worlds

When a institutional community or structure presents a point of disengagement you can begin to exist in a parallel world, especially if no further contact is maintained. Existence in the wider community becomes difficult, as you as an individual are presented with the challenge of establishing a different expression of your participation. Without a support network this is even harder. The priority should be your own personal safety. Resolving iatrogenic impact and bereavement is integral to that safety.
