Invitations Are Out

The invitations are already out for our local community dialogue without need to shout or pout about another straight white male monologue. In fact, as fiction, we have taken a nearly unprecedented step of inviting straight white males over the maturing age of thirty to show up in droves to listen, and not to speak. Yes, you have heard this invitation clearly discriminating not against Business As Usual but for Busyness as Listening. Once we have our multicultural plan in place for this local health racing space, we may invite our silent witnesses to share with us what they and we, perhaps, have learned about wisdom voices of non-elites fully empowered while elite over-voiced macro/microphones remain reverently on mute.

Thanks Jan. Good to hear. I'm also noticing your "word play" as my "feeling display" GD
