Reflections on False Urgency, Binary Thinking, & How Change Actually Happens

I've been thinking about the thin line between urgency and action. It's a line I can walk in most areas of my life, but I lose all sense of it when it comes to how desperately I want schools to be transformed into the joyful, life-giving places I know they can be. Places, or concepts (schools without walls? "Schools" embedded in community?), whose main focus is to help young people discover their life purpose, their medicine to the world, that only that individual can bring forth. Places that would put career coaches out of business and help launch humanity into something more beautiful and closer to our potential as planetary custodians.
