Several years ago, after being set afire by Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 911 and subsequently launching the blog that was the precursor to A world of Progress, two things became immediately apparent to me: 1. Speaking truth to power is one of those things that often seems incredibly pointless, especially when you do it alone from behind a computer screen. 2. Taking any action to speak truth to power (no matter how insignificant it may feel at the time) helps to align thought with the heart and that in itself makes you feel better. Today, I find myself listening more and talking less, but I do want to take a few minutes of your time to tell you about the Speaking Truth to Power series presented by Wave Enterprises that I attended last night in Asheville, NC and hopefully inspire you to check out this organization that is working to bring the voices of war Veterans turned peace activists to a town near you.
