America is like frogs in hot water, dangerously desensitized to the increasing heat. From encroaching environmental destruction to a rise of authoritarian leaders in places where this “isn’t supposed to happen,” it’s important to admit to ourselves that this is a time of crisis.

On the other side of this crisis lies the possibility of the most extraordinary chapter in our history - but only if we’re willing to be honest about where we are. Being totally willing to recognize the place we’re in now is prerequisite to creating the world that we prefer.

Transformation requires internal as well as external change. There’s a deep emotional component to processing the crisis we’re in & transitioning to a place where we’re capable of creating something different. These times require a president who knows how to navigate both worlds.
