Progressives are:-Spiritually grounded and growing--at once always seeking, yet comfortable with the 'not knowing' in the presence of the 'Is' (or 'I am')-Conservationists and fiscally conservatives were it comes to sharing the wealth and stewardship of the earth and its resources--acknowledging that these things belong to either all of us, or none of us--and recognizing that our collective actions and behaviors must be guided by our judgment of its sustainability.-The original authors of, and believers in, democracy--recognizing that governments, corporations, and institutions are not entities with 'certain inalienable rights,' but tools invented by humans, to work for humans, as they seek to cooperate in ever increasing, mutually beneficial ways.-Are visionaries who understand that the pursuit of happiness is a collective venture--that it cannot ultimately be achieved individually at the expense of others--that “none of us get it until all of us get it.”
