“I don’t know how else to express this idea, but we are talking about something that grows and develops without being dependent on an organization for it’s very existence. Individuals collaborate to make it a reality. There’s nothing wrong with organizations. They have a place. But I feel that there’s also a need for initiatives that are carried out by us, the ‘regular’ people of this world. We have learned to depend on governments and organizations, but there is beauty created when people, for no personal gain whatsoever, try to make this world a better place to live. That’s inspiring and we need a lot of that.”

I have a guest post up yesterday at the Visual Advocate.  It’s a poignant post about beginnings and the magic that happens when we invest our lives in each other. I hope you like it and that I can keep counting with your support in this initiative.

Thanks.
