Witness
I’m reading David Attenborough’s ‘A Life on Our Planet’, which he describes as part ‘witness statement’, part ‘vision for the future’. This is one of the most powerful things any of us can do: to bear witness. What is your world like? Not ‘the’ world, but ‘your’ world. Your country, your city, your town, your community, your workplace, your university, your school, your family life. How has it changed? What has improved and what has deteriorated? Then add your vision for how you want your world to be and you have an agenda for change, a call to action.
