We have more choices, in every moment, than we imagine about our experience of cities.
We have written and written agreements with each other, a minimal critical structure, to support us in our choices. They keep us accountable to each other, and they support us as we look for and choose our shared future together.
Investing in self, and knowing self, is a selfless contribution to the city because it allows the city to better serve others.
Messiness and confusion is a place where growing happens. Joy, lightness, humour, relaxation, and love are helpful when we are in the mess and confusion.
There is potential in everyone to grow and evolve—when they are ready, when the conditions are right.
