State of the CommunityAs part of the membership meeting in June, 2010, I asked members to remember two incidents this past year that stood out for them in the life of our Ethical Society — one that they enjoyed, and one that they didn’t enjoy so much. I also asked that they try to boil down to one word the quality of life that they were wanting — a quality of life they found in the moment they enjoyed, a quality of life that they found wanting in the moment that they didn’t enjoy. Out of those words, I created this word cloud:  State of the Society 2010 (Note that I omitted or translated a few words offered that seemed to describe what people didn’t want, or answers that were more than one word long. The more times a word was mentioned, the larger the word in the “wordle.”) Related posts1 comment to State of the Community |

The word cloud above is compelling. When I viewed it, I thought of the context of our times, which some say (ala Don Beck, etc.) that we are living in an age of integral consciousness. What this means to me is that we are living in a time of “walking our walk” more than learning to connect, more than being inspired. It is a time when we gather our strength by our deeds as we develop compassion on cosmic levels. In short, it is our time.
I wonder if then we might not highlight integral activism in this lovely cloud.
