Except from Open Space for Democracy:
The human heart is the first home of democracy. It is where we embrace our questions: Can we be equitable? Can we be generous? Can we listen with our whole being not just our minds and offer attention rather than our opinion? And do we have enough resolve in our hearts to act courageously, relentlessly, without giviny up ... ever. Trusting our fellow citizens to join us in our determined pursuit of living democracy.
