"We must believe it is darkest before the dawn of a new world. We will see it when we believe it. " --Saul Alinsky
Warriors for the Human Spirit
Margaret Wheatley is a writer and management consultant who draws upon systems analysis, chaos theory, and other diverse fields of study to inform her work. In this interview from Sounds True, she writes talks about how we are in a time of destructive change that will bring a new way of life along with it. Our best path forward is to be warriors for the human spirit as we create "islands of sanity" in the chaos we see around us. As much as we might feel fear and anger, Margaret says we must avoid engaging in the destructive forces we want to overcome and instead reach out to others in acts of service that bring new life and light to our local communities.
BE THE CHANGE
When you encounter the darkness of someone's anger today, look instead at how you can allow this moment to open your eyes to see into that person's deepest need.
