Hi Everyone, Well, I appreciate your feedback on my post yesterday [see 4 December Facebook post]. And now I will offer some feedback, if that’s okay by you, as they say.

The wholeness vision disturbs as well as inspires; it leads some to want to move forward too fast into an idealized world and others to do everything in their power to resist the momentum towards the new.
