Email: John Graham is a Green Light thinker!
We, the United (?) States, are a nation of Green Light hearts yet many of our leaders – corporate and governmental – are using a Red Light style. This comes from a Red Light motivation – “I win/you lose” instead of the Green “We-win” style. Check out this thoughtful comment and article from John Graham, an insightful author and long-term US Foreign Service representative.
A successful future for America depends on the meaning we attach to being citizens of the same republic–a meaning shattered every time the left questions the intelligence of their opponents and the right questions the patriotism of those who don’t share their views. http://johngrahamspeaker.org/america-divided
Seattle’s Green Light people, are you one?
Sandra Jackson-Dumont, Seattle Art Museum, says, “People need cool mixing places, settings that encourage conversation, unlikely social connection” and she hopes, learning, writes Tyrone Beason. She curates experiences, blending various forms of art, pop culture, music, etc.
What Green Light experience might you curate, to connect a diversity of thinkers, perhaps in a new community gathering place?
Another example of Green Light style in action!
Award-winning artist Theaster Gates is “known for gutting blighted buildings, creating museum pieces with the salvaged materials and converting the reclaimed structures into community halls suitable for poetry readings, musical performances, prayers meetings or whatever the surrounding neighborhoods dream up,” writes Tyrone Beason (Pacific NW Magazine 6-5-11).
Gates’ work is classic Green Light – creating Ideal Scenarios.
