What if we joined our sorrows, I’m saying.
I’m saying, What if that is our joy?*
Ross Gay
Radical engagement involves collaborating with unlike and unlikely others, making our differences productive – not just with people we like, and not forcing or feigning amiability or agreement. We do this by stepping up our engagement from just talking to also acting together.**
Adam Kahane
The sharing of information
at the beginning
and the making of things
at the end may fascinate
and fulfil,
But perhaps it will be
the stories we share
as an insertion between these
that will remain with us
forever.^

^Following opening our minds to others, there is the possibility of opening our hearts, towards opening our wills, to meet one another as human beings travelling the same road of life. I appreciate that time may be of the essence, which makes the difference between a finite and an infinite game.
