As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise.. . . The choice is ours: form a global partnership to care for Earth and one another or risk the destruction of ourselves and the diversity of life…. We must decide to live with a sense of universal responsibility, identifying ourselves with the whole Earth community as well as our local communities. (The Earth Charter)<br /><br />By what name will our children and our children’s children call our time? Will they speak in anger and frustration of the time of the Great Unraveling . . . or will they look back in joyful celebration on the noble time of the Great Turning, when their forebears turned crisis into opportunity, embraced the higher-order potential of their human nature, learned to live in creative partnership with one another and the living Earth, and brought forth a new era of human possibility? (David Korten)<br /><br />We are not lacking in the dynamic forces needed to create the future.We live immersed in a sea of energy beyond all comprehension. But this energy, in an ultimate sense, is ours not by domination but by invocation.
