It should be a no-brainer, but you can’t transform something if you haven’t been transformed. Transformation is a lived reality. It happens from the inside out … rarely, if ever, from the outside in. As Mahatma Gandhi so wisely said, “We but mirror the world. … As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” As seismic change threatens and invasive frontier technologies rewrite the rules of the game for economies and societies, many  are feeling such a deep sense of alienation they’re choosing to opt out of society and some, sadly, are choosing the finality of opting out of life. But there’s healing in communion, in connection, in community, in belonging, as we seek to re-imagine a world that does justice to what it means to be human.
