encircled but free
Though encircled and restrained, we remain free as the chimes signal and celebrate that freedom and the associated joy.

Alternative Futures – Choosing a Thriving or Endangered Future
We have a choice. We can choose to stay on the current path of an endangered future. Or we can choose the path to a much better future. Given that we humans need to survive and want to thrive forever, the choice should be a surviving and thriving future.
To truly have this future, we need to have it for you and everybody’s family and friends and every community and every country and every part of and our entire world.
When successful, we and all future generations achieve the thriving future for all forever, to the maximum extent possible. At this time in human history when we want to thrive, when we need to survive, when our future is most endangered, and when we are most capable, all of us together can and must build, achieve and sustain this future for all forever. This is the Thrive! Endeavor. www.ThriveEndeavor.org

We have a choice. We can choose to stay on the current path of an endangered future. Or we can choose the path to a much better future. Given that we humans need to survive and want to thrive forever, the choice should be a surviving and thriving future.
While there are many future scenarios, the focus here is on four: current, partial survive, partial thrive and full thrive. [See figure, “Alternative Futures for Human and Earth’s Surviving and Thriving”.] “Full Thrive Scenario” best fits our needs and wants but is the most challenging to achieve.
Full Thrive Scenario – We change to a “full thrive” path. As a result, 1) thriving is high and 2) surviving and thriving are extended substantially beyond current path and may continue at least as long as a habitable Earth lasts. All will be performing well, well-off (financially), well nourished, well housed, well protected (exposures, crime), well educated, physically and mentally well (people), growing/developing well, living within good habitat, physically well (Earth, plants, animals, environment), not vulnerable, producing personal and public goods, living within a stable, positive climate, and sustained.
To truly have this future, we need to have it for you and everybody’s family and friends and every community and every country and every part of and our entire world.
For the Full Thrive Scenario, all of us together must energize and empower people to build a thriving future for all. All of us together is necessary due to 1) the scope (all), 2) the level (surviving and thriving), and 3) the duration (forever).
When successful, we and all future generations achieve the thriving future for all forever, to the maximum extent possible. At this time in human history when we want to thrive, when we need to survive, when our future is most endangered, and when we are most capable, all of us together can and must build, achieve and sustain this future for all forever. This is the Thrive! Endeavor. www.ThriveEndeavor.org

We Are Vulnerable! Fearful! Angry! www.WeAreVulnerable.org
Vulnerable. You are! Your family and friends are! Your community is! Your country is! Our world is! Our whole future is!
We and the people we care about are all vulnerable. Some to a greater extent; some to a lesser extent. Some today; some in the future. No one is invulnerable.
We will be even more vulnerable in our future unless we fix what is broken and build a surviving and thriving future.
Join with the Thrive! Endeavor to build, achieve and sustain a thriving and surviving future for all forever. www.ThriveEndeavor.org\

Let’s combine the best of all our strategies. Let’s ensure that we take no steps backward from ensuring affordability, accessibility and high quality. Let’s together build a substantially healthier America and move toward a truly healthy, thriving America and world.

Action! – We need to minimize vulnerability via policies and politics that systematically stop forces that push us down to more vulnerable states and support forces that lift us out of vulnerability. “Vulnerable in America (via)” is a strategy to minimize vulnerability that has applicability within and outside of America. VulnerableInAmerica.org
Alert! – In America and in the world today, we are all vulnerable to a greater or lesser extent. Walking the streets and roads, you see it in our faces and hear it in our voices.
