ABOUT THIS MOMENT

Throughout time, many have emphasized the importance of living in the now. Being present has become one of the mantras of our distracted age. Yet, the experience of this very moment is deeply informed by the past. To see the present for what it is we must face its DNA in both our personal and social histories as truthfully as possible. Only then will we be able to experience what we see with some clarity, resist simplifying, know our contradictions and tread gently as we find our way forward.

The future begins with the story we tell in this moment.  The quality and force of that story will be measured by its authenticity and the conviction we can bring to telling it. Each voice is alone and yet a part of that universal voice with all of its joy, anger and non-uniformity. To envision the future is to listen to the many voices and always remember that they are that complex and unquantifiable unity.
