Katie Liljedahl at katielilj@gmail.com , in an article for Hope Dance, describes our current despair, powerlessness and guilt over not making sustainable changes soon enough for our consciences. She calls this condition The Great Lag. It’s a lovely description of the creative nature of despair, or, as I like to say from the perspective of my Unified Theory of Emotion, as testimonial to the enormous potential and hidden treasures in any kind of sadness. She describes the role of community: our reaching out to join hands in global problem solving. There are growing numbers of activities to make a difference. For your inspiration: Transition Town is in operation at Santa Barbara www.sblocal.org. Making A Difference in wonderful ways is yours for the taking.
