Don’t look for hope and inspiration in the last few years! This is an aberrational moment in American history. But we’ve gone through very dark times before and we will get through this one too.

It’s not about how many people transform; it’s about how deeply those of us do transform take the commitment to keep on going. The solutions begin in the vertical before they make it to the horizontal.
