    It is gratifying to consider the promise of settings that communicate a strong sense of place and relevance. I search for this in the often divergent and contrasting paradigms within my surroundings. As I take inventory of these surroundings, I notice the joyous and the beleaguered, the pristine and the tainted, the untouchable and the accessible. 

​

     Do the people, places and institutions within my observation successfully fulfill desired notions of self-discovery?

 

     Are the challenges to these objectives posed by a set of varied and changing realities surmountable?

​

    The conversation I intend to enter centers around searching out, as well as questioning the sustainability of concepts related to growth and pleasure that I consider meaningful.
