I’m not sure which particular news item was the spark for this, but I found myself reflecting on what causes us to move from audience to action. Starting small, in our own lives, leads us to greater involvement in our neighborhood/region/state/country.

Terri Peterson, who writes occasionally for this site, mused the other day on one of her own blogs about what it means that we know the names of people on sit-coms but not on our local school boards. What’s going to make a bigger difference in our lives, in the long run?

And once we know something, what stirs us to action? Have thoughts? Go over, like Sacred Village on FB. Say what works for you. Let’s get the conversation going and encourage one another.
