One of my most treasured experiences in this work is learning and relearning that we are all in a small life raft together. Travel is fabulous, and even more is the kind of travel of like-hearted adventures together in a the chance encounters of wonder and hope. Earlier this year it was walking the quiet morning streets of Brisbane with two amazing leaders from Japan. Tonight is was sitting by the “river” in the Madinat Souk, eating Persian food with a dear old friend and a dear new one, all three of us far from our own and disparate homes, dreaming together of the possibilities of bringing EQ even more alive, in even more places.
There is so much struggle, so many challenges — and at the same time so many genuinely good people doing their part, and more, to connect and support positive change. I just wanted to say thank you to the many many of you I’ve met.
