POSSIBILITIES

Practicing Plenty

What do you call it when someone notices possibilities where others only see problems? How would you describe that ability to see resources in a bleak situation – the seeds of peace amid conflict, movement in a place that appears stuck? What would you call this capacity to frame any situation in a positive way – not a Polly-Annish framing, as if to ignore the problems, those harsh realities, but a way that recognizes and acts upon more reality, our individual and collective ability? We used to call this leadership: the capacity to work with what’s already present.
