Collective hot air propels the winds of change

It is amazing how a single conversation can connect to another and then spiral around connecting others with idea's and thoughts all but lost in the reaches of the mind and time. I found myself tonight with a rare moment of free time to contemplate these conversations I had and put them into words here on the site.

This 'idea cultivation' begins when I am walking through a graffiti splashed storm sewer big enough to drive a transport truck down. The fleeting night light is compounded as we begin to delve into the depths of the sewer. The purpose of the mission is much less noble then the conversation that arose on the way there. The member of E² I mentioned last post was there his name is J. Fro. Fresh from from his trip he had a new perspective. Perhaps it was not new but it was new to me. We discussed our plans for success in the future. As we discussed these we found we both had the typical North American dream of wealth. However, we both realized that this was essentially a means to try and change the world. We had our ‘game plans’ laid out. We need money to make a difference. His goal was to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity he had being able to live and grow up in North America and to take his wealth of knowledge, money and connections back with him to impact his home country of Tanzania.

Immediately I began to think about the many friends and acquaintances I personally have that have in some way or another the goal to make a difference in the world. Some have fantastic goals while others practical. Nevertheless, they are out there. Out there, struggling to reach this elusive goal of positive change and subsequent self -actualization.

These things are not necessarily news to everyone. But, how often do these people struggle alone in vain to accomplish these things. Perhaps E² could provide them with a network of people who are all striving for a similar (but not necessarily the same) goal. For example, J. Fro is attempting to publish a book. This is one of his many possible paths to success. Success with which, he plans to make a difference. I realized I had an aunt who has published before and also one who helps artists get government grants. Through, the networking, J. Fro might have an easier time getting his book published.
I really believe all of us should put forth our ideas for things we can do as a group to try change things and, how we individually would like to do our part. Who knows who might read it and who they might know? If you feel like it, throw out some ideas. If not for anything else, just try it for interest’s sake.
