Mark has devoted his life to systemic transformation.
How do I be and do... appreciate you mentioned"be" before the"do". On walkabout for last 3 1/2 years. Becoming more and more clear to me... started Int'l Rivers Network, and experienced profound deep hunger around the world to actively collaborate and play together. People hunger to answer that question of how to be and do, in this time of evolution. It's an inside job; effecting change outwardly is only as good as the change I do inwardly. When I do anything out of fear, scarcity and separation, then I'm actually contributing to the old paradigm. Challenge to learn how to act completely from love, faith and trust continues to be a profound journey."Being" before"doing" is right on track. The River has been a major tutor in my life. Metaphor: 1-to-6 scale of river running... 1 is flatwater; 6 is where people who run them die. To run a Class 5 river, one has to be extremely skilled... to look and see out of the tumult of the water, discern drops, holes, shredder rock just under the surface, and all the small rocks that might kick you into bigger ones. A Class 5 has a through line somewhere. Most of humanity is in denial that we're in a Class 5. We think it's safer being in denial and not paying attention. It's easy to be in fear with all the obstacles... if you put your attention on obstacles, they become magnets. Challenge is to put our attention on the through-line, while also paying attention to the obstacles. There's only one boat... there's no"thems". If I make a mistake, I need somebody on the other side of the boat to help compensate for my mistake. If somebody does something that looks wrong to me, rather than judge them, I need their eyes to see, and fully embrace everyone in the boat, where when we make mistakes, live in this sacred moment do to the best together to compensate. I'm profoundly convinced that we're in the mdist of the greatest transformation humanity has ever lived through. Don't know when the major touchstones will take place... we're
each co-creating this huge shift into moving from fear, towards love... this one sacred family I share this planet with. I get to learn... how to step up, how to love, how to contribute gifts of my unique skills and talents, co-creating a world that works for all.
