V341: Venture




The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach. ~ FDR

As I have said before, the Brits are way ahead of us on this one. What’s more, all the workshops and the questioning – What’s working, What’s not working? – are shared via the viral world. I am so grateful to Transition Culture and grateful for the internet.
