Unlikely Rebels

Tipping points are an essential part of life; those moments when a movement in one direction begins to give way to a movement in the counter direction, ebb begins to flow, flow begins to ebb. We are in a time of multiple tipping points — in society and in the lives of each person. Climate change, civil unrest, violence, and various environmental crises are intertwined in a complex movement of which each of us will play a part. We will need to carefully find our way into the revolutionary role each of us will play — one small, simple, and gentle step at a time.

This revolution is like none that has come before. This one will happen with, or without, our help. Thus we are free to act without needing to push, pull, force, or convince. Our muscles will be relaxed, our speech will be gentle, and our actions will be filled with power.
