My journey of ethical inquiry has brought me to a place of realizing that although the structures that bring chaos in our world may not change, who I am in response to that world must. Social and economic development cannot originate in another country, rather it is something that must begin in me; my interior landscapes need to be changed daily.
The process of becoming. Accepting the reality that many things exist in a tension while moving on towards completion; a dynamic equilibrium between that which is, and that which is coming, both in and around us.
I have discovered that more important than academic knowledge or technical skills, is the ability to see and embody hope when all that is visible is despair; that this is my place in international engagement:to ardently hope against all odds, and in so doing, to bring a reality that has been re-named1, a whole story being shared, and a future that redeems its past into existance. Hope is born out of perseverance, and is not truly hope lest it touches the ordinary, speaks into the problems of daily life, and exists in and through relationship; relationship that dismantles ‘development strategies’ and challenge hollow attempts towards economic revitalization.
