Today, I heard the always memorable Mary Evelyn Tucker, coauthor of The Journey of the Universe and the Earth Charter’s preamble, tell the Living School: “If we let ourselves go down the route where we assume that humans are doomed to be nothing more than a problem for the earth, we will have no place to go… Instead, the wisdom traditions need to be brought to bear on dire conditions of these very challenging times… The creativity in this country that could contribute to restoring the planet is mind-boggling and must be mobilized.”

Gary: It seems to me that the U.S./Mexico has become more politicized that at any point in its 170-year history. So perhaps our task is not to further politicize the already volatile and politically contested conditions here. Instead, we are hoping to rehumanize, rather than dehumanize the many who have been caught in the crossfire here.
