GLOBAL VISION: THE BIG PICTURE
this web page is no longer maintained click here for newer version 4.0
In contrast to narrow worldviews--ones tightly confined to the center of a space vs. time plot and closed to much -- my worldview extends in space and time and can be broadly inclusive. It has room for statements like “Your body contains atoms once inside ancient stars.” I appreciate cosmic distances, geologic time, evolution, natural cycles and the connectedness of things. I know that, increasingly, global interdependencies link me to people and events in remote places that affect living things and the environment. I realize that the past can provide insights into dealing with today’s problems, and that the future consequences of what we do must be considered before we act. Sometimes, in focusing on higher level (or long term) relationships or goals, I miss lower level details.
