A better world is possible

Imagine a world of healthy, whole, and flourishing people. Where you and everyone else can live a fulfilling and meaningful life supported and connected to community. A world that is beautiful, comfortable, equitable, and sustainable. This would be a living world.

As terrible as things are right now, I still think a living world is possible. Pieces of it are already here. The ideas needed to build it are already in circulation. There are so many amazing possibilities. Learning about these ideas won’t solve the problems, but expanding our imaginations about what is possible is a good step in the right direction. We can’t make a new world until we can imagine it.

Fieldnotes for new world

I’m in search of this world. I am on the hunt for those existing elements and ideas. I am trying to more fully imagine what a living world would be like.

I’ve been finding a lot of useful stuff and I want to share it with you. No one can create a better world alone and everything I learn can only be useful as it becomes part of a larger conversation. With this newsletter I’m hoping to connect people to useful, interesting, and inspiring ideas.

These weekly newsletters are field notes for the journey. I’ll send along explanations and notes about key ideas, recommendations and summaries of helpful books, information about path-breaking projects and organizations, and links and tools to learn more. I’m searching for things you can use to create changes in your own areas of influence.

I hope you’ll join me in learning about, imagining, and building a living world.
