We must build. We must rebuild, not replicate, wrote my colleague that I share in brows. This is a moment of aching and awakening. The demands that we cultivate in new moral imagination, lay to rest the world as it was. Yeah. And envision a world that could be, she said, and today high, young on Yankee poor. This is the turning today. We encounter the Holy. We feel a divine embrace and we gain clarity on what truly matters. What's eternal. And what is temporal? What are those values on which we must construct a new world? What our structures, habits, institutions that need to be dismantled Hubbard in we're living in a time of crisis and disruption. And it likely will get worse. Our citizens are in masks, our economy in turmoil, a new left and a new right are simultaneously emerging. Digital technology is changing the way we gather and connect.
