Quote of the day - the wisdom of an entire species

"If we share any part of the wider biological legacy of flocks, may it be this: that in times of great need a few individuals acting boldly on their convictions can trigger a shift toward collective survival that is both swift and widely shared.  We are never acting alone when we do this.  It only appears that way.  When we seize upon a strong conviction to change, it is the wisdom of an entire species that may be acting through us, and none of us will ever have to carry that burden alone."

- Kurt Hoelting (from his book, The Circumference of Home)

Thanks to my brother Gregg for sharing this gift from Kurt with me.
