DELAWARE VALLEY EARTH CHARTER REGIONAL EVENTS
CALENDAR
Earth Charter Friend, a vision:
And it came to pass in the second decade of
the 21st Century that a great turning took place on planet Earth.
Complaining turned to confession and confession to commitment and
commitment to co-creative communities.
People of divergent traditions and multiple talents mingled freely in
social and business groups listening to each other, sharing insights and skills
to overcome here-to-fore unsolvable dilemmas like hunger, war and
pollution. Smiles adorned the faces of
children everywhere as they reflected the deep resonance of their parents and
teachers to this enlivening synergy. It
was not without pain and struggle but the pain and struggle were transformed by
a larger commitment to the common good in contrast to previous preoccupation
with egoism and turfism. Defensiveness
decreased and mutual affirmation blossomed everywhere. No one felt extraneous to the grand endeavor
and yet no one felt imposed upon. Work
was purposeful and play was exuberant.
For our children’s
children, John Gibson and Susan Curry
