“I think there are good reasons for suggesting that the modern age has ended. Today, many things indicate that we are going through a transitional period, when it seems that something is on the way out and something else is painfully being born. It is as if something were crumbling, decaying, and exhausting itself – while something else, still indistinct, were rising from the rubble.”
Vaclav Havel

1. What touched you?
2. Turning the camera back on “planet earth/self”:
Looking at your own context (personal or organizational) –where do you see evidence of an old system that's dying away, that's no longer relevant or effective?
And where do you experience or see emerging seeds of a new way of thinking and acting?
