Change will come whether we are ready for it or not. None of us HAS to go it alone anymore. Perhaps that is the greatest change of all. We have support systems that did not exist even 10 years ago. We can interact through new technologies.
Information is more available and diverse than ever before.
The physical boundaries between us grow smaller every day. But with this new interaction comes new challenges. We are being pushed into dialogue with not only different traditions, but entirely different cultures from all over the world. We are becoming an increasing number not only in our local communities, but in the greater societies in which we live and work. The future is racing towards us.
