“The essential challenge is to transform the isolation and self-interest within our communities
into connectedness and caring for the whole.”

Freedom: “the choice to be a creator of our own experience and accept the unbearable responsibility
that goes with that….perhaps the real task of leadership is to confront people with their freedom.”
“Our willingness to care for the well-being of the whole occurs when we are confronted with our
freedom, and when we choose to accept and act on that freedom.”

The essential work is to build social fabric, both for its own sake and to enable chosen accountability among citizens.
Strong associational life is essential and central (“public sphere”)
Citizens who use their power to convene other citizens are what create an alternative future
The small group is the unit of transformation
All transformation is linguistic, which means that we can think of community as essentially a conversation
