what is your recipe for world peace?

ripples on the water of consciousness

In sharing this i have come to see with increasing clarity the potential art has to shift the discussion from a debate to a dialogue.

What's the difference? One is shouting to be heard, the other is expressing to share/grow/learn. One will create more of the same old same old, while the other illuminates our path to peace and progress based on radical inclusion.

My recipe for world peace starts with passion followed by gratitude.  This not only applies to my obvious supporters, but to those that have sparked uncomfortable lines of inquiry in this quest to understand peace and freedom as research issues in technogical, economic and artistic innovation.

I'd like to especially express my gratitude to Sugar Brown Studio and artist/co-owner, Michaela Brown for her inspiration and extending the use of their studio space (and equipment) to me to begin the new artwork started during my visit.

My family continues to fan the flames of my gratitude and appreciation, and so my passion for this work intensifies with the passing of each moment.

There are so many people to whom i am grateful that i won't even attempt to list them all, but Jenny Hsueh (ifossf President), Ronald Wopereis and Pras Anand head my growing list of colleagues. Ronald especially stands out as my primary partner in Cultural Fusion from it's start with the quality and depth of his Attention...most recently i have joined him in his space at Facebook where he ask, "what is your recipe for world peace?"

Without the whole range of people and experiences i am not sure i would have been inspired to explore this new territory called Comfusion where Cultural Fusion is the spiral of growth.
