We have within us the ability to wonder

Published: December 31st, 1992

“We have within us the ability to wonder,
the intelligence to understand,

I try to play to those abilities,
within myself and within others,
and in them I always find hope.”

– Dana Meadows wrote of her work in an online forum in 1992
