In reply to the discussion: Good Morning, DU: [View all]grantcart
(53,061 posts)65. I wish I had more time to follow the details of your struggle.
From a distance and only getting a brief chance to read the basics I have to say the fact that
you were so committed not to a position but to a dialogue, about communicating, about bridging across
positions and building on relations I was struck that it was very Obamaesque in its goals, very Ali in its courage, very
Ghandi in its methodology, and very Mandela in its tone.
I am guessing that you just saw it as very 'Waterman' but then I never knew your mentor.
When you are right then persist in dialogue without wavering and you will eventually be successful. Not in every detail but
you will have great influence.
