Scott Russell Sanders has a new book - "The Way of Imagination" which is a "dazzling, often heartbreaking, and ultimately healing meditation on the power of art to confront the existential threat that human greed and violence has foisted upon the earth."

Flexible. Agile. Pivot.

Words I am sure you are familiar with.

Words we pride ourselves on them being part of our thinking.

We are taking a turn - tune in to listen to what's going on.
