November Tampa HeartField AOH



We are here to make this heart field,
As we watch whatever is revealed,
Let's find what can not be concealed.

How about moving this into mid-town,
I'm here, let's see what comes around,
Let's do it together, without a frown.

That's what we mean by our emergence,
We are all growing into a new convergence,
Then we feel our own love in resurgence.

Usurping the agenda is being here now,
What do we need to make this go "wow!",
It will all flows easy, we just never know how.

We were told to do things before relationship,
We here in Florida, connect and fly off the hip,
Where we all know to stay true and keep a grip.

Please give me some deep relief,
How are we going to let go and debrief,
That is why we are here, it is my belief.

We need to see about more action,
Giving more parents new traction,
Help the children avoid an infraction.

Staying present and within our own,
Knowing that I am not some clone,
Authentic in what it is that is known.

Beyond the right and wrong there is a field,
Finding the break through process to see a yield,
So that we can all come out true and healed.

Swoop in with white horses into the community,
Creating more truth with our personal unity,
Each company is always another opportunity.

What can we really learn, come full circle,
Both come together out of respect to recircle.

As we move we drag one foot in old paradigm,
Wondering why we feel it was some crime,
What is happening here is fine this time.

Whatever happens is the only thing that could happens!!!

Strategic Initiatives — Rockridge Institute

Strategic Initiatives — Rockridge Institute: "Strategic Initiatives
by The Rockridge Institute
Until now, progressive strategies for change have consisted largely of small, narrowly focused intiatives. There is a better way. Strategic Initiatives think big—they coordinate smaller agendas into broader, more ambitious policy directions and put conservatives on the defensive.
Last modified Thursday, January 6, 2005 11:46 AM

There are many types of Strategic Initiatives. The most far-reaching type is a Multiple Issue Strategic Initiative but another important one is a Slippery Slope Strategic Initiative. Both introduce wedge issues to divide opponents and make it easier to accomplish ambitious, long-term goals."

Abandoning Education

Abandoning Education: "By GREGORY McCOLM

The Tampa Tribune

Published: July 13, 2008

With each announced departure of a high-profile Florida university professor for Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louisiana, Virginia, Ohio, and so on, we can see the longstanding plans for a high-technology Interstate 4 corridor disintegrate at our feet.

Just a few years ago, we were going to enter the 21st century with a roar. We were going to attract top researchers while upgrading our higher educational system. We would train Florida kids to become the entrepreneurs in and employees for biotechnology, computers, modern materials, space, and other forward-looking industries lining up from St. Petersburg to Melbourne.

No longer would Tampa be the back office of the nation: We were going to move beyond the boom and bust of tourism and construction and challenge Massachusetts, California, and North Carolina.

But no more.

Times are hard. Tourism and construction are bust, and the Legislature has made it quite clear that we don't have the money to waste on education. Especially not higher education. So we suffer from constrictions big (fewer students are being admitted and those who do get in face larger classes) and small (cutbacks in computer resources and support limit research and teaching). And then there is the institutional atrophy induced by program cutbacks and personnel layoffs.

Other states are protecting higher education as much as possible. Part of their motivation is that rebuilding a higher education system is a protracted business, so they'd rather at least preserve what they have. And part of the motivation is that higher education is an economic engine.

But Florida state government is above such considerations. Our higher educational systems have not only endured disproportionately deep cuts over the years, but have had funds raided for earmarks. Recently, the funds for the Centers of Excellence - which were supposed to go to high- priority research and development projects - were diverted to projects with superior political connections. No wonder professors who had developed more useful projects are thinking about going somewhere else.

We are reaching the point when we have to ask of parents, businessmen, workers, and all citizens of Florida whether we want to have a higher educational system capable of supporting a 21st century economy.

We don't have to. After all, if we are content to have Tampa remain the back office of the nation, if we are content to rely on the cheap jobs of tourism and watch our best and brightest kids leave for universities in other states - perhaps Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louisiana, Virginia, Ohio and so on - never to return, then we can let things continue as they are.

It won't be long for the rest of the nation to leave us behind. It is already happening.

"BASIC ORIENTATION: COMMUNITIES AS COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS

The theory and science of Complexity can powerfully inform the development of sustainable communities. When a community is conceptualized as a complex adaptive system, it is recognized as a dynamic network of diverse agents interacting with one another and the environment to co-evolve over time (Agar, 2005, 2004a, 2004b). “Agents” are the people or entities that have the capacity to change intentionally and thereby influence one another and the evolution of a system (McKelvey, 1999). Complexity emphasizes processes of self-organization among agents as the central means of fostering the ongoing health, resilience and hardiness of a system, whether that system is a family, an organization, or a community (Capra, Juarrero, & Sotolongo, 2007)."
