Daffodils

Daffodils are associated with Saint David's Day in Wales and are my favorite spring flower. I always think of Wordsworth's poem when I see them.

The Forest Primeval

The image of a forest in Ireland, the words from an American poet, both conjuring up the magic of a walk in the forest. And what better time than spring. Longfellow said it all in the first stanza of Evangeline.

Where Hope and History Rhyme

Positive change comes when individuals, groups or countries open to possibility and let go of blind resistance and of resentment of “the other”. As Joe said “the opposition” is not the enemy. I would add from years of facilitating change and resolving conflict, two other aspects: Assume positive intent and drop the self-righteous anger. If you find yourself preferring to be right than preferring to have conditions improve, then guess what? You are perpetuating the problem.
