First, we’ll save lives.

Violent crime will be lower.

An untold number of lives will be influenced.

We will be healthier.

Stress, the most common cause of illness will be reduced.

We will set a standard and demonstrate a measurable way to create a happier, healthier, and more peaceful community.

The ripples of this work will be felt both locally and worldwide as new solutions to age-old conflicts are discovered.

Some will lead; others will follow. Yes, as Bob Dylan once said, “the times they are a changing.”

We are on our way toward eliminating the word “problem,” and substituting for it the word “opportunity.”
