I hope everyone can forgive me for having to take my leave, but . . . I'm turning to 'toast'. 🙏🧡👍

Adding to Brian’s apology, sorry for being so late.
16:33:36 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network To Everyone:
A world scripture says: “A person without Vision shall perish.”
Please create your own Personal Vision Statement of Peace.
Here is one: "Because I believe total Peace is Possible, I am called to BE Peace in a way that Excites in others their vision of Peace resulting in Peace IN Everything, Everything WITH Peace.” This form is using Tamsin Wooley-Barker’s prompting in her TEEMING workshop based on her bestselling book.
Should you choose, please respond YOUR personal Vision of Peace to Kurt - PeaceMakersCircles @ gmail.com
Here is Tamsin Wooley-Barker’s template: Because I believe _________, I am called to ________________ in a way that ________________________, so that _____________.

How about greeting people with, “What are you Loving today, or What’s bringing you joy or peace today,…?
16:45:01 From David Currie FTGOAN To Everyone:
I refer to what Kurt Krueger is talking about as seeing with new eyes...if you can reimagine your future, you, me, we, can move toward this shared future...I will repeat the importance in my life that stemmed from the brilliant story M Scott Peck used in his movement the Foundation for Community Encouragement of the Rabbi's Gift"... it is happening in the world (thank you Stanley), how can we let those water molecules move into and as a great flowing river. How we do this, is the purpose of my work.
16:46:39 From Charles Betterton, BLESSivist & EARTHist To Everyone:
David, Love the Rabbi's Gift. And I was blessed to be among the 65 individuals M. Scott Peck convened in Knoxville in the mid 1980's to establish the FCE

16:50:29 From John Clausen To Everyone:
I was also invited by Scott Peck to a community building workshop in Knoxville in the mid 80s. I was a valuable experience….
16:52:27 From Charles Betterton, BLESSivist & EARTHist To Everyone:
@David Currie FTGOAN and @John ClausenJohn We should chat sometime. I was then living in the intentional community of Stelle, IL, served as copublisher and managing editor of Communities, Journal of Cooperative Living, and founded the reincorporation of what is now the Foundation for Intentional Community. John were you there as 1 of 65 at the initial gathering of 3 days as I recall?.

16:57:39 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network To Everyone:
Everyone wants the best for our families. When we focus on commonalities we help more people. We know that our best chance is through dialogue. This has been proven to work in so many fields. It will also work in the political arena when using mediation practices. Let the proof be found in the pudding!
Do you know about the Resolutionaries mediation style efforts in governmental solutions… Together We Can Achieve More ~ check out the Building Civic Bridges Act, https://resolutionaries.org/advocacy/
16:59:46 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network To Everyone:
What happens when we focus on what we want?
We know the history and how people and our planet HAVE been treated.
We are living NOW, and can create a new reality when we focus upon it. Syntropy is caused by Loving Focus. When we keep the focus on what we want, we attract it. The unwanted then gets to wither up and turn into compost for growing more Love and Helpfulness.
Where our attention goes, energy flows. Eco-centered Everything! Yes! Positive Focus, lets the negatives automatically compost themselves.
Research shows that when the least of us is uplifted/educated/healed, it VASTLY improves all others.

16:59:55 From Joni Carley To Everyone:
Yes, Kurt, except that we assume and conjecture a lot about commonalities. We don’t really know what they are unless we measure
17:00:24 From David Currie FTGOAN To Everyone:
Thanks for the invitation Charles and John. I would love to connect. Perhaps after I share my Four Turns strategy as a context., which we could do outside this weekly conversation if you would like.
17:00:45 From Stanley Pokras To Everyone:
Dynamic Facilitation is a specific method for hosting deliberative dialogue in a way that creates psychological safety and thus encourages participants to engage creatively with differing perspectives. https://participedia.net/method/1692
