Recently, I had the chance to spend some time with a young team of IofC folks in Oaxaca, Mexico. They met with an agenda to strengthen their friendships and do some strategic planning for their activities as a group. I was invited to be part of the gathering and add in what I could to their discussions and time together.

Wow. Monday was a stunning day in the United States.

I woke up and read the news for the first time via an actual newspaper. Very 20th century. But seeing the pictures in print and reading them off of paper somehow brought it home for me. It was real and I spent the morning trying to place my emotional response. On one hand, I felt a sense of justice-served and yet I found myself wondering about the relevance of the occasion. Given that Bin Laden was a figurehead for an ideology, surely this would mean closure on some level, but not a conclusion.

We can all choose to take responsibility for putting things to rights.

Thanks to WikiHow, I feel like I had one of my first breakthroughs on trustbuilding – it’s not just about me – it’s about you!
