Non Alignment Alignment
When we are not aligned it seems we are often
working at cross purposes,  we can be doing great things
and yet feel stymied and frustrated		 When we are aligned on a common vision - unpredicable
and extraordinary things can happen.  One thing this
community visioning process can produce is our alignment.
