Trusted Space - Coming Monday

I will take Trusted Space live on Monday. The design is ready and most of the opening content is done.

My intent is to Host a space where you can read about the stories of people who are making progress in the Great Work that has to be done if we are to have a chance of getting though this century.

The Bulk of the space then will be interviews with people just like you who are raising their kids in Trusted Space, who are learning in Trusted Space, who are working in Trusted Space, who are using Trusted Space to find new sources of Energy and Food, who are finding their health in Trusted Space, who are are informing and entertaining in Trusted Space, who seek to transform politics into Trusted Space, who are even financing in Trusted Space.

It is my hope that if I can aggregate enough great stories about great people doing the great work - then I can do my little bit to help the Great Work myself. If you can join and help - well imagine what we could do?

As well as words, I will use pictures. I am thrilled to be able to tell you that Fred First has agreed to my collaborator here. Our hope is that like say Rodgers and Hammerstein that he can add the music like Richard Rodgers to the words and to the story. Please have a look at his site here and see what kind of a man and what kind of an eye Fred has. Here is how he describes his "Eye"

But I have learned this from my writer's sabbatical: any image I take with my camera or with my writer's lens will be one of a kind. Each composition in light or in words is unique. The light will never be that color from that angle on that exact configuration of barn, tree or wildflower ever again. And this: that we often take for granted the extraordinary senses of vision and hearing, of touch and smell—our latent gifts by which with greater care we could better know the wonders close at hand, too often missed or dismissed in our hurried lives.

We have so little time in the present and there is so very much to comprehend and share. There are wonders all around. From our everyday lives, these too-familiar things may become unremarkable to us.

But in these precious instants in time, if we keep our eyes open and our hearts ready to know it, there is nothing ordinary.

My friendship with Fred is one of the joys of blogging. Like many of my new friends, we have never met but of course we will. We found each other because our paths crossed in the blogosphere. We discovered the connection as many of us did gradually as we explored the mind and the spirit of the other. His book, Slow Road Home, is a modern book of hours about how place can call out the human spirit.

As I post in Trusted Space, I will post a lead a here. You can choose to go to the Space or not. The full text will be there. In time it will be the Web equivalent of a book. Soon, as I get started in each area, I will need help and I will ask some of you to help me find more stories or to add stories from your perspective. Over time the Space will open up and include as many contributors as is possible.

I think that all my life has been preparation for this and I hope that I can do justice to how I feel and to the opportunity that is before us all to co create a better world one person at a atime.
