About

Part-time intellectual, part-time intuitive, full-time strategist for social evolution, yet laced with compassion and a deep connection to the communities I am a part of.  There are too many Daves already, so I go by Amarado. It comes from Amador and El Dorado which is my part of California. I have spent 20 years in this area, recovering from 40 years in LA.

I recently came away from 3 years of being a ZFellow with the Community Technology Foundation, learning and working to equalize access to technology across all social groups. This year, I have been giving presentations to promote Local Sustainability and Global Consciousness in the SIerra Foothills.

Now seems to be the time to promote consciousness of Sacred Activism, which is action rooted in and emanating from your sense of the Sacred.

Long ago, a guru taught me these priorities: Be… Do… Have… (for example…Be a Sacred Being, Do socially redeeming activities, Have a just and sustainable society)

If you believe this model can work, I invite you to join in planning some grass-roots political dialog. Think mom-n-pop shop politics rather than Big Box Superstore politics.

  I'm not sure I've got this down. I tried to post a reply and lost it, not finding a path to send it. 

 

  I've been investigating a number of mission states from different organizations, mostly sustainable, resilient, green, intentional, coops etc. I'm getting a pretty good feel with Dave's inputs on community and the mental process the creators of the mission statements were going through. It's like you said Dave, the best seem to the point stating who they are and what they do with thoughtful treatment of the wording to appear inclusive.

 

  The "vision" statements when they exist seem to really flesh it out as you've done so well Anton. 

 

  I'll be gone until June 3RD. I'm doing a road trip with the 15 year old grandson to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. He has never been on a road trip or big adventure and it's about time. I'll be working on the statement and offer my input on the trip or on my return. My best to you all, Namaste, Dan.
