The Light Show  

It seemed as if we were just reflecting on our college experiences, remembering the Sixties on my part, sit-ins and demonstrations, Kent State students being killed, the feeling of possibility nonetheless, and great music.  Teresa spoke about the Seventies and Eighties, the outrage of her generation about Marcos, and the way her parents had campaigned against him.

But when we circled round to see what had happened in our conversation, we saw we had built a realization that each generation carries the torch of change as they ride through their youthful idealism, that together we are a great wave of change over this past century or more.  As the evolutionaries of these times are conveying to President Obama, we are engaged in nothing less than our own collective evolution. 

We know we can change the world, because we have been doing it, one generation at a time, one issue at a time, one person at a time, and the changes have been growing our freedom and our possibility as a human family.
