An eloquent definition of the differences in interpretations of the value of cooperation

I am sharing Damion Williams’s eloquent interpretation of the value word ‘cooperation.’ He is sharing an understanding of how this word is used for different effects in our Western culture. This is a seed of understanding that lit up my consciousness during a process of conversational groups gathering to integrate values. No one knew their inner definition and understanding of universal values or each had a different interpretation. I loved Damian’s eloquence in explaining this experience in the use of the value word cooperation that I had to share for educational purposes.

Let us take care

Let us take care of the children,
For they have a long way to go
Let us take care of the Elders,
For they have come a long way
Let us take care of those in between,
For they are doing the Work.”
Nelson Mandela

We don’t heal in isolation, but in community.” ~ S. Kelley Harrell

“To fly”

“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”
