21^st Century Introspective began as reflection on changing the world, with a focus on education and community development. Now after a five year hibernation, due relocation, health and frustration with the bureaucracy and gatekeepers protecting the status quo, I retake the blog with a focus on changing myself; finally catching onto the clues left by so many sages and wise men to be the change I want to see.

I will bonce around as I find my niche and will incorporate my background as a Mennonite, thirty-six years in war and reconstruction in El Salvador, growing beans in Delaware and other odd thoughts.

I started writing to draw interest to my work. Now I’m writing to myself, for myself, because thoughts that do not get organized and developed on paper loudly clamor for attention, not allowing me to fish in peace.

Some posts are in English, some in Spanish, some translated. Others may be gibberish. Bear with me.
