We’ve got 30 years: How can we Boomers improve the world?

:- Doug.

Speak to me the words
Of poetry beauty mystery
Of what is possible for humankind
Of the sacred just possibly arising from the profane
Then I am lifted
To being
To action

:- Doug.

There are things which are too large for individuals and small groups, so government or corporate efforts are necessary, for example enforcement of regulations, bailouts. There are things that are too big for governments that require small groups, for example peace.

“What’s out there?” I can almost hear the ancients saying as they look out upon the seas. “There is just a line, but there must be more there, there.” It is the same looking at a path in the woods, the mountains, the caves—“Where does this lead?”

Indeed, it leads to us, for we are the ones ever exploring and exploring—for us. To see what is possible, where we can do, what we can do then and there. More is possible—there. And the frontiers are also here—within as well as without. What is possible?

The new frontiers are pushing us together and we are there brought face to face with others—ourselves in different skins. And what then, what now, is possible between us? We have explored the outer world and are heading into—space. We have explored the psyche and the human spirit.

It is soon time to explore what lies between and among.
