The unprecedented opportunities of the world we are currently living in, the un-knowable complexities of the planet our children will inherit, demand a political system that dares to grow up: intellectually, emotionally, creatively and spiritually. We need everyone around the table. We need to be able to speak to each other. We need to be able to hear each other. And then, we need the wisdom, the courage and determination to move united into action that is purposeful, innovative, robust but malleable. It is time for us to embrace, nurture and celebrate all of who we are as a nation. It is time to educate, empower and engage all our citizens so that each of us may have an equal stake in the visioning and continual ‘becoming’ of our nation.
