From where imagination? What does it do?
People aspire
People are called to aspiration and they rise to it. This is the difference from mere debate and information sessions.

Imagination: this seems to be the magic
Imagination: this seems to be the magic part of conversation. It touches something in a person which is novel and exciting. It goes beyond creating by its thrill. It touches something true and complete and beautiful just as it is which is its awe. This is what carries us out.
It gives a larger picture, a G*d’s-eye view of the world and history and possibility.

The product of meeting
Change & process, bumping & sparking are input to meeting, not its essence. Its product is of a different order—the emergence of the new within its participants & from them & between them.

The difficult part
People can make a difference if they choose. That is the difficult part: getting us to choose.
