Ah, well, I did get a little buzz from reading this in the
Co-Intelligence series:
"It is time for us to realize that "seeing both sides" is not a bland, befuddled, middle-of-the-road position. It is our next necessary step onto the leading edge of democracy's evolution. It is a step out of partisanship and polarization into the Whole. It is a required step if we are to find the necessary courage, wisdom and dedication to midwife the birth of a culture that honors the whole picture, the whole community, the whole world, the whole of life. ... Seeing the multi-faceted, evolving nature of truth -- even in the midst of political battles -- is our doorway to wholeness. And I say -- with passion -- that that whole -- the ultimate inclusive reality of life that embraces me and you and our erstwhile enemies and everyone else -- deserves our passion even more than its partisan parts."
Thanks, Tree, for the references. It seems I am in good company with my passion for this topic and my concern about polarization. I appreciate the dialogue that has occurred on the coho-l. I'm grateful that by risking my "toe in the water," something good has occurred. My committment to cohousing is renewed by this conversation.
