What do you think when you hear historic preservation? Repairs to an old church or revitalization of a main street block?

Two quotes from Riane Eisler's interview with Eli Ingraham that I particularly like. You may find additional ones if you read this interview, which is published in the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies. 1) "None of us can solve the issues of the world by ourselves. It is our combined, repeated, and synchronized activities, no matter on what level, that will turn domination systems into partnership systems." 2)"We bring about the world. It does not happen to us. We make choices. We act or we do not act. Both have consequences. The Greeks called this phenomenon poiesis, which is the root word for poetry. It means to bring something into being that did not exist before. It carries the essence of creativity, culture, and civilization itself. We need people to embrace poiesis. We need people to bring a part of themselves that did not exist before into being."

"We are living in a system that’s been defined and driven for millennia by a certain “logic” and we need to reinstate a paradigm driven by an “ecologic,” if you will ... Every generation plays a role in human history, for better or worse. And like it or not, our generation is tasked with the future of civilization."
