Good Morning, Christian.
It has been quite some time since anyone has opened up a blog to comment on Evoke that has reached me in my small corner of the world. Oddly enough, it comes at a moment as I contemplate semi-retirement. Having been pushed economically to the brink of poverty in support of my efforts to make changes in, not only the delivery of quality, affordable health care services; it also comes after my attendance at meetings in Washington DC regarding Food Safety Modernization Act implementation discussions. As we begin to face globalization and food trade that is growing exponentially, it will become even more important to build international trust. This meeting was attended by leaders from all over the world, and from the highest level of leadership to the 'grassroots' people who live by their leadership's authority. As I grow older and hopefully wiser, it is apparent that we need more effective methods to build trust on an international level. This will require speaking and writing with intergrity and respect, at all times.
This brings me to one of my greatest concerns and frustrations, at the moment. It seems to me that with out new ease of communication online through such social media as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the like, that we have become far more casual in our level of communication. We have begun to forget the value and shear power of our words, be they auditory or in text form. I like to remember it has been said, and I paraphrase 'if the words you have spoken today were to be woven into a cloak to protect your sleep at night, would you feel peace?'
Most of us cherish our comfort, joy, and peace, yet do not realize the source comes through us. So I am renewed by this moment as a brief, refreshing rain has broken through the sluggish and muggy heat that has enveloped our corner of the world and will return to my slumber until the dawn wakes me to begin the day.
