Can We Co-create A Better World?
Two percent of people think: three percent think they think; and 95 percent would rather die than think.
Henry Ford.
If Thought be the measure of Time, He who thinks Most, Lives Longest!

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered: the point is to discover them.
Galileo.
Fearing not that I’d become my enemy in the instant that I preach.
Bob Dylan, My Back Pages.
The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him…a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, and create – so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.
Pearl S. Buck
