Uncharted Waters
In the middle ages they believed the world was flat and if you sailed far enough in one direction you would fall off the edge. Columbus and other adventurers 'going boldly where no man has gone before' - Star Trek proved them wrong.
Humanity on mothership earth is in uncharted territory. Normally we refer to the lessons of the past. There are none. Earth is our ship. Survival our destination. We have no map and limited resources. Yet like a crew on a ship in peril we have each other. Our resourcefulness, our ability to adapt, to support each other with resilience, grace and even humour. It is not a question of 'me' but of 'we'. Albert Einstein said In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity and Lincoln said the best way to predict your future is to create it. Our future may not be clear, however this too shall pass. And we shall walk together into a brave new world. Our resolution will determine the survival of us all. Adlai Stevenson.
