I was impressed and excited to see the Bat Signal, and the emergence of "Occupy Heart" initiatives and energy. I am beginning to work with a project called the Global Heart Initiative, and one of its objectives is to help address and answer these questions.
How can national and global politics be guided by wisdom -- and from the heart? We are exploring how this might be possible, and we are looking for your input and participation.
