By learning to navigate that energy, or at least trying to learn, we gain access to new ways of thinking and being. Given the serious challenges that face our world, that's essential. Einstein again: "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

As for the conclusion I asked the others to help me find, it turns out we were shaping it together as we talked that last night on the beach. The questions we ask, the intentions we form, and the depth of our sincerity as we do so -- all are right now making our future. It is the conscious weaving of ourselves into the net of connection that carries us through doubt. The life force that binds us all together was here before we were and undoubtedly will outlast us. But for this fleeting leg of the journey, at least, we can choose where to place our intentions as we ride its current.
