“We need
to step outside the machine in order to comprehend how it is working and where
it is failing us”. Step into Nature, “a generous teacher, if we can only
manage to slow down and listen to what it is saying”. Nature is the system
of systems, running with stunning complexity, based in feedback loops “allowing
natural ecosystems to continue in equilibrium for eons” even if some “have
failed to notice, let alone appreciate”, others haven't.
“Democracy, too, is a delicate ecosystem – of checks and balances, rights and needs, power and accountability, It requires a healthy, functioning environment and a diverse community of interacting organisms”. It also requires feedback loops. “Our voices matter. Stories bring us together. Silences keep us apart” and erase democracy, in our country and in other's countries. Democracy is interconnected. Worldwide.
