People really do know what is fair and what is just. And so what you're seeing is a movement that is not only bottom up but it shares a common set of values that wasn't imposed upon it. That didn't come from some leader, some place else, it's not based on ideologies. It's really based on heart and it espouses ideas. So it's a movement of ideas, it's growing. It can't be schismed, it can't break apart because it started that way. The only thing you can do now is start to connect and collaborate and come together in more powerful ways. And that's what we're starting to see.

I think people in their own ways have come to a very simple and clear conclusion that the only way we're going to save ourselves is to love our world and that that's really the only thing we can do that's effective because everything else intentionally or unintentionally turns out to be harmful. And that understanding I think is growing. I don't think it's necessarily expressed how I'm expressing it, but when you go out and meet the people in these organizations around the world they are loving the world, they are loving people. They are expressing love, love in action.
