Dreaming out loud

Well, here I go. It's been months -- ok, years -- since I last updated my website or posted something new. I just can't keep up with that. But I have been inspired by the whole blog movement as of late. It's a constellation of small fires of people observing and reflecting, communicating and finding voice. This is something I value and appreciate. And so follows the 20+ years I have dedicated to human rights work...

Dreaming out loud... it's a concept from U2 (no surprise for anyone who knows me, as they have defined so much of the direction of my life with their music). ...

"Here's to the future! The only limits are the limits of our imagination. Dream up the kind of world you want to live in, dream out loud, at high volume." -- Bono 1/1/90

I'm wrapping up a few months filled with U2 concerts. One tour, two legs, 11 shows, MANY memories. If you haven't seen them, SEE THEM. It's more than a concert. It is a spiritual experience. A chance to connect with yourself, with others, with who you want to be and what the world can be.

And so I begin to recommit to my writing, and publishing, for all those who care to reflect on the world, for those who are struggling to not give in to cynicism, who dare to dream out loud...
