People watch or listen to what they value. My hope that they would listen to Greater Good because I think it's bringing the right dialogue together and asking...or allowing the opportunity to ask the right questions. Sometimes I think there's apathy in our communities to deal with the big issues. People have that fundamental belief that they cannot create change. Yeah, it's that sense of helplessness. I would argue that because I come from a little canoe and so that it's not so much what the canoe carries people or food and water that transports around the ocean. It's when it carries vision and values. And it carries principles that we believe in. And it carries a platform for which we can exercise those principles and values in a way that we believe is a contribution to a healthier community. So stuff like a canoe to me is more symbolic of what can be accomplished with things that are not really engineered for that kind of change. They just bring people together; common vision and values, and work hard to really shape a future that we hope is important for young people.
