Articulating the Heart of Occupy

I want to share a piece that came across the silicon net of Facebook.  If I leave it there, it'll disappear in the infinite scrolling that builds up and discourages real reading.

This a YouTube video, "Love a& Shadow in the Occupy Movement," featuring an amazingly articulate guy named Michael Stone.  It was shot at Occupy Vancouver. Two favorite quotes from Michael Stone:


"Love is not just a feeling -- it is what emerges when we give each other our face, when we give each other our attention, when we give each other the space to really listen to a diversity of viewpoints."

"We are cultivating intimacy, that's arising out of difference. This the spark that I would call Love. And it's what's carrying us, and what's warming us up. And it's the reason why we're going to win."

 I get goosebumps just pasting that text in. 

Another view of Occupy at the next blog post.
