"Would you like to talk about any of these questions?
What is my faith in the future?
What do I believe about others?
Am I willing to reclaim time to think?
When have I experienced good listening?
When have I experienced working for the common good?
What is the relationship I want with the earth?"
"I believe we can change the world if we start listening to one another again. Simple, honest, human conversation. Not mediation, negotiation, problem-solving, debate, or public meetings. Simple, truthful conversation where we each have a chance to speak, we each feel heard, and we each listen well. This is how great changes begin, when people begin talking to each other about their experiences, hopes, and fears.

I wrote this book to encourage and support you to begin conversations about things that are important to you..."
